ALSO I DID A COMP CHECK AND IT WAS 270 ACROSS THE BOARD....WTF!!!!!!!!!

turn it over with the fuel injectors unplugged for like a min. Put NEW plugs in it, and try again, you prob washed the cylinders out.

ALSO JUST FOUND OUT HE'S RUNNING 89 OCTANE WITH A 11.5:1 COMP...S.O.B.WTF!!!!

[Vteckidd]

that doesnt matter the car should still start.

Heres what you should do

1) Verify that the distributor is in the MIDDLE
2) Check an make sure the timing belt didnt jump time, make sure the cam gears are lined up with the engine on TDC
3)Replace plugs an make sure the firing order is right on the distributor
4) If you have fuel, spark, and compressio nthe car will crank

is the fpr vacuum line hooked up? what about the map sensor? those can cause flooding.

it will crank with starter fluid then it recranks easily. but can't rev it a few taps on the gas and it hesitates then dies........HELP!

check the vaccum lines. i experienced the same problem when i puty an H22 in my boys 4thgen lude, all the vaccum lines were as$ backwards. u may also want to check the resistor box, engine harness. i was using carb cleaner to try to get it to start also but i later found out that one of the wires running to the resistor box had an open, i changed the harness and shazaam if cranked.

[kain86]

ok i just checked the cam and crank timing again and this time the intake cam is a tooth off. so i'm going to reset the timing could someone tell me if up gos up on both or i heard on honda tech that you face them toward each other. which is it? any help would be welcome thanx.
