4. i am gettin spark to all 4 plugs
5. ecu is spittin out no codes
6. i sprayed a little bit of starter fluid in the intake and it goes to start but quickly stalls out

[drmcivicsi]

have u tryed to push start it ? and see if it starts up ?

[DrunkScotsman]

scared to do it , incase it dont start and it gets stuck down the street

[mx34life]

have you looked at the timing to if it might have jump time maybe??

[DrunkScotsman]

thats a possibility , but i dont have the extra hands to correct it

[mx34life]

its not that hard just make sure the cam say UP and rotate crankpulley to TDC . another way to see is take the #1plug out and look to see if the piston is at the top

[mx34life]

OH just one hand will do

[ranj]

yeah its really simple, the timeing belt will slip off the cam with a little bit of hard pulling. i got it done when i corrected the timing on my car.
G/L with it.

main fuel relay?? those are notorious on ef's...mine went through three.


sounds liek it could be an issue possibly.


look under your dash on the left side and you will see a little black box...bang it a little and sometimes it will connect and start up...

good luck

[2.0civic]

i get off at four...where in gwinnett do you live? pm me a location and ill see about dropping by

[DrunkScotsman]

i just went and did a little more diggin around under the hood and found out my cam timin is off , problem is i have a compresser but no air gun!:thinking: :(

[2.0civic]

WHY DO YOU NEED AN AIRGUN?? TAKING OFF THE PULLEY?

[DrunkScotsman]

yep , unless there is an easier way

[95droppedhatch]

you do not have to take the pulley off just slip the timing belt off set the #1 cyclinder TDC put the cam gear on time and put the timing belt back on

[OG-Skinny]

What did you do before it wouldn't start..

I suspect one of two things..
1. ICM in the dizzy is bad.
2. Check to see if the injectors are actually pulsing (use a screw driver to hear them click when turning the car over.)

[DrunkScotsman]

the only thing i did b4 it wouldnt start was driveto my girls house , then went out to start it and it never started again

[DrunkScotsman]

how can i check the injectors if i have no one here

[DrunkScotsman]

you do not have to take the pulley off just slip the timing belt off set the #1 cyclinder TDC put the cam gear on time and put the timing belt back on could you please elaborate on this a little more

[DrunkScotsman]

I hate the fuel relays. lol I keep having problems with the relay in my car, but nobody has a replacement one. It will work if I take it out and shake it a little though. haha

Drunk.scotsm, I don't have any advice, but I wish you good luck. Get it fixed!

[ranj]

its very simple look at the timing belt on the cam.
when you see it, start pulling at it with ur fingers, or get a flat head scewdriver and push it out (but be very careful not to damage ur timing belt)
correct the timing,
and slip it back on.

also after you take the timing belt off the cam, it would be a good idea to have a string or something and tie it up to something so it doesn't lose its grip on the bottom.

its really very easy.

[ranj]

also make sure its at TDC and then correct the cam to where the up arrow is pointing up.

hey man, give me a call in the morning whenever you get this and ill come over and try to help.

nice guy

[DrunkScotsman]

cam timin is rite now , still no start , i am not gettin power to my injectors:thinking:

[toonz]

Whatta nice guy you are B18hatch LOL but lets make one thing clear don't bump heads with him LOL trust me

[mx34life]

now make sure your bottom end is timed right and it might start

[OG-Skinny]

jesus.. check the ecu fuse. It's something electrical.

Mechanical timing can't just jump time from sitting.

[DrunkScotsman]

i have checked all fuses , under dash and under hood , i am not gettin power to my injectors , i am at a loss again and need to get this fixed in the next day or two , plz help!

[DrunkScotsman]

bump!

[fade2blk500]

my car did that one time, sounded like it wanted to start, made a little poppop like it was going to. I replaced the distributor with a used junkyard one. Started right up haven't had a problem since.

[DrunkScotsman]

mornin bump! gotta get my shit runnin!

[DrunkScotsman]

n-e 1????????? help!

[Turbodude06]

Are you getting power to your fuel pump?

[Turbodude06]

does it do anything, like turn over and just won't start, or is it not starting at all? Need more info...
