please help!
 
ok so i just installed a sohn adapter and a bhr ignition yesterday and since then my car has stalled 3 time and has been hard to start any ideas? it also bogs down if i get over 6-7k rpms under load.

Plugs are switched up

Avox 09-14-2011 08:29 PM

any way of finding out which is which, when i didnt the install i made sure to keep them separate?

Speed_8 09-14-2011 08:38 PM

one will have an L and another a T, so leading and trailing..

RX8Soldier 09-14-2011 08:39 PM

Make sure the correct wires are going to the correct plug (labeled). Make sure the correct plug is in the correct port

Avox 09-14-2011 08:40 PM

im really really sure i got the spark plugs right i have put 3 sets in the car. also im a auto tech for acura mixing up the spark plugs is something i dont think is possible with them being labeled on the plug its self. :P

Speed_8 09-14-2011 08:45 PM

since you fix hondas, then you probably did a mistake haha jk, other possibilities is the amount of torque you could have used, and like soldier said maybe the wires are mixed

Avox 09-14-2011 09:03 PM

soldier is there a way to tell which stock plug that goes into the bhr adapter plug is for which plug?

RX8Soldier 09-14-2011 09:06 PM

the plug wires should be labeled

Avox 09-14-2011 09:19 PM

i just went and check and i have the plugs right is there a way i could have pluged in the coiles wrong?

Yup.

Did you make sure that you fastened the ground wire to a good surface.
The coils have a ground cable.

RX8Soldier 09-14-2011 09:30 PM

did you ground the wire? Are they torqued down to spec? Are the wires on securely? Did you follow the directions properly?

I recall mine being labeled (L1,T1,L2,T2... or something similar)

Avox 09-14-2011 09:41 PM

hmm so you found my thread charles lol, went for a quick drive since i filled up the tank with some premix in it and it doesnt seem to be bogging down anymore or having trouble starting... could it be the sohn adapter isnt feeding enough 2 stroke into the engine?

RX8Soldier 09-14-2011 09:42 PM

OP, what do you have for your intake? OEM or aftermarket? Did you remove/replace it properly when reassembling everything?

Avox 09-14-2011 09:45 PM

oem and yes i reinstalled it correctly

Avox 09-14-2011 10:04 PM

2005, only a sohn adapter was installed at the time of the bhr IS

Avox 09-14-2011 10:17 PM

hmm i dont remember giving you codes in the email. its not missfireing that we could tell with our new snap-on scan tool. i didnt remove any tubes when installing the sohn either, even though it was a pain in the ass o install.

Avox 09-14-2011 10:47 PM

also in the instructions for the sohn the last thing was an oil flow test but i could find it anywhere in my manual or online any ideas as to what it is? ill be heading to bed now and will check this in the morning.

ShinkaEvo 09-15-2011 12:05 AM

Did you disconnect the battery when installing BHR kit?
I know some ppl would when replacing coil/wire/plug.

ok after driving it this morning and putting it threw its paces after being at operating temp it ran completely fine since i put the premix in the tank, im rather sure that the sohn adapter isnt giving the engine enough 2 stroke any way to fix this? aside frome using the omp mod or adjuster.

ok whew thought i was going crazy last night lol but yea i installed the tank for it right next to the windshield washer fluid tank and the lines are not kinked in any way i can see 2 stroke in the lines coming from the omp to the injectors, but its only in small amounts with what looks like air between the oil and not every line has the 2 stroke in it........

Avox 09-15-2011 07:33 PM

ok so just premix till then? and then i wont have to premix anymore?
