i dont think it would run much at all with the crank broken
never heard of one of these motors breaking a crank there supposed to be pretty tuff

quick question... my friends 96 lude h22a has a chocking sensation when you push it to a quarter throttle... what can this be? does his car have the ECT sensor? if so will ours fit it? this has to be done with the quickness before he leaves today so please let me know.. thanks guys

re the 3g, that duz look like a broken crank to me.
stick a big socket on the crank pulley bolt and see if just those 2 cylinders turn and not the other two
re the lude, my h22a cd6 acord is a bit slow to respod to light throttle applications to but picks up better past about 2250-2500 rpm.
think this is due to the vtec being 3 stage in these motors and they only run on tiny wee cam lobes at low revs
RE:3g.... all 4 pistons crank but it seems like its still connected some how.. one of these days im going to attack the bottom end and rip everything out
RE:lude.... what would you reccomend for the lude?

I'd say she broke. I recently saw a post on Preludepower where a guy had the same problem as you, engine still ran, but tons of noise. Turns out the crank had broken, but was still making contact enough between the two pieces to run.
ICHIBAN!
"Now, even more better!"
idk what i'd do bout the lude.
would try the usual fuel and airfilter and a set of sparkplugs and get the usual poor running suspects out the way first.and also check the leads for resistance.
no more than 8k ohms per foot otherwise you start getting funny little misfires and a weaker spark
if those fail check and se if its throwin any codes
i see.. well im almost done tearing apart the block.. i know its the crank

well everything checks out on the lude.. he just did a tune up on it and it still has a choking sensation.. feels like its running out of fuel.. no ecu codes or anything.. my last guess is a sensor of some sort

well doc.. ill try to get them up asap.. my bros tired of seeing my 3g in the garage so he wants me to junk it..

shit if only u were closer id buy it i need another 3g and have a mint complete block and head sitting in my shed
1988 Honda Accord LX-i Coupe 123k miles.
i know theres something i want from a usdm car but i cant remember what. i'll probably remember what it is after you get rid of it
well as far as engine goes.. im keeping all parts that worked..i know theres something i want from a usdm car but i cant remember what. i'll probably remember what it is after you get rid of it
trans, black box, header, intake mani, head, engine wiring, fuse box, throttle body, dizzy.. but interior wise.. thats staying til someone decides to pick something out
at this point im willing to let my 3g go for cheap.. so im pretty much lowering the price of the whole car to 100-200 bucks just because i dont want to junk her.. i want her to have a good home.. my 3g only had a left brake caliper problem where it would stick but that was repairable (no money) and it would pull to the left a little but other then that she was good to meshit if only u were closer id buy it i need another 3g and have a mint complete block and head sitting in my shed
EDIT: i have a spare A20A3 block in my garage.. not sure what it needs but you can have it

almost there doc.. idk if i can remove the crank while its still connected to the trans... is this possible w/o taking out the trans?.. if so then i can have it out soon after new years.. if not then ill have to wait til i get a hoist =/
quick question... how often do you have to replace the rear main seal? the one on my original a20a3 never leaked on me and it seems to be in good shape.. should i still replace it?
