    Default car wont start

    Ok here's wat were dealing with. B18b block with ctr pistons as for the head its a b16 port n polish.. Ok I put the motor in and everything was fine I got the car tuned at mainstream and 6 hours later it was mest up. The car started bogging and died out when I got home.. I cranked it bak up n it would idel fine but when I give it gas it boggs and eventually dies out.. I have chaneged out the spark plugs the wires injectors dizzy even the wire harness. As of now the car turns over but doesn't fire up. I noticed that it almost cranks but whit smoke comes out the throttle body and that's it.. I have done everything I kno wat to do now I'm lost.... O ya I did a compression test and all cylinders were at a perfect 240

    I had a case where my distributor was sparking but wouldn't crank,(no matter how much i rebuilt with working adn new parts) until I just replaced it. Then it cranked up. Recheck that again, and you mention your car got tune, recheck the ecu. IF its chipped recheck the mapping. White smoke from throttle body, the only time I've encounter that is when i sprayed starter fluid in the throttle body to start the car and I got like a back fire and white smoke came out. Timing was off and it fixed the problem. I would recheck everything to be sure. Sometimes we overlook the smallest thing and usually that's our problem.
