I have a 96acura integra all stock runs good but I want to put more power
and hp but im not good with cars so yea that’s y im watching ur vids don’t
stop doing them

Daniel Lobato says:

nice video should do more i also have an acura 94 ls. thanks

drkstr7 says:

if you can swap a b18c5 into your car now, you will love your car more than
life. thank you for keeping your car well maintained!

Engineering Explained says:

Haha more like the first time I’ve worked on my car. I’d love a b18c (or
even better f20c) but I have no money so that’s not happening anytime soon.

Engineering Explained says:

Yeah, bought it at 84k, and that was 5 years ago. Haven’t put too many
miles on it. I’ve still had my fair share of problems even with low miles,
but basically it just amounts to I have to add oil constantly.

stoneddoggie says:

In the beginning, you were at 1,500rpm’s while idling at the end you were
at 750rpm’s idling. Is that because of the fix? Where before that problem
was also causing gas wasted?

Engineering Explained says:

I suppose that’s true. But wouldn’t I then build up fuel in each of the
cylinders?

joseph miranda says:

@Juan Banuelos at idle it should be around 8 to 9 hundread rpms is normal

carride liu says:

well ,which year did your acura Integra be made in ?

Juan Corredor says:

thank you very much

Nathaniel Gates says:

Should I get a Pontiac gto?

Nathaniel Thompson says:

The corrosion caused the issue you should have just brushed it off

Juan Banuelos says:

Hey, i have a ’99 integra. Only thing that is different on mine is there’s
a cold air intake, at idle it drops under 1,000 rpm is that normal?

Nolan Hayden says:

What is that big black tube that connects to that large black box?

Joseph demetro says:

love the vids ive been watching since 2 am i knew how cars work bet u gave
me the details an u make it easy

colcol625 says:

Hey man could you please explain a little more on the bit about jacking up
your car to rotate the tires(Front or back)? Specifically how you knew that
the tires moved to the camshaft which moved the distributor dial. Thanks.

Engineering Explained says:

The problem was my distributor cap. I replaced it. The problem was solved.
Explain to me where in this process is me stopping?

TheMax187 says:

Why are you idling at 1500rpm

JBonesWS323 says:

I dont like to post negative on help videos… But why the fuck did you
post this? You didnt do shit. You got to a problem, which isnt that hard to
solve by the way, and stopped….

carride liu says:

thank you ,can you intruduce some principles of CVVT of engine?

1stPal says:

Please show us how to identify the fuel lines ( how tank is connected to
the engine , and perhaps if some one want to attach a natural gas to the
engine , what he should do) Thank you for all your efforts, Best !

pokehimon says:

Is this your first video of you working on your car? drop a b18c in it ! it
would make for a good video as well!

Zac Gough says:

why did you just roll it ?

MrSaamman says:

i have an e30 (1984-1991) 3 series, great car, bought my 85 form the
original owner for $500, its a great solid car, cheap parts too. you should
definitely get one, this is my first car also.

FatHippo88 88 says:

Hi ive been having trouble starting up my car at first but after that my
car cant start fine if i leave it off for a while it has trouble starting
again do you think its the distributor also my car shakes at look rpm
anything below 1800 rpm when driving

Prodriver33 says:

get a code reader, mine was 59 bucks.

WannabeGearHead says:

Or am I confusing direct ignition with direct injection… either way, I
found about 100 pages of literature from some mechanics book on my engine.
pretty amazing stuff.

Engineering Explained says:

I’m going to.

Philip Lo says:

You could have just put the car in neutral and rotated the engine through
the crank shaft.

Engineering Explained says:

Sure. The front tires (fwd) are connected to the transmission, which is
connected to the clutch, which is connected to the flywheel, which is
connected to the crankshaft. The crankshaft is geared with the camshafts
with a timing belt. The distributor caps is geared 1:1 with the camshaft.
So, by rotating my tires with the car in gear, the rotor should rotate.

Engineering Explained says:

Mine was $20, listed it on my website. Not sure if it works with all
vehicles though, doesn’t seem to work with my girlfriend’s Mazda3.

Engineering Explained says:

Nope, b18b1, as it’s a Honda.

CRESPO GREEK says:

U should paint this cap so ur engine ll look cool..!!

jfv65 says:

plugs that have been installed 10 months ago are hardly new… just saying.
i would have pulled those and checked them for insulator cracks and
checked/set the electrode distances to spec. pointer: next time scuf the
rotor tip with some sandpaper to clean that up as well. and just to be sure
you could have measured resistance between centre contact and rotortip. If
it had measured more then 0 ohms you would have had to change it.
