    as far as i know of, the only problem with the car, is the vtec solenoid is out. but i'll see about getting a dianogstic ran on it and see what other codes are being thrown.

    I had a H22A in a CB7. Don't think the Vtec Solenoid would cause not starting. Any CEL? What's the background on the car? Any recent work done to the car?

    its been over a year but the motor was rebuilt after a broke timing belt and fucked some things up.
    and the CEL, the only one i know is the vtec, i haven't ran it thru a diagnostic to find any other ones out, but i'm gonna try to today, if i can.
    this is my sister's car, she doesn't dog it out or anything, and really i dont think she's ever sent the car into vtec. her ex, on the other hand, yea lets not go there. he just slung a rod in his car.

    If its getting fuel and fire I mean GOOD P.S.I fuel preasure and Nice Blue spark!!!!


    It will crank even if 1 cylinder has no compression!!

    I dont think you have a Compression issue at this time....Might be bad plugs, or you think your getting enough fuel but are not!

    these are bad about the Main relay!!


    Tell me how you know its getting plenty of fuel an fire So I can help more!

    i check the pressure, it seems to be good, did a dry fire with the injectors pointing up, out of the cylinders(cause my first thought was fuel pump) and it was spraying out like woah.

    and i was thinking if it was the main relay, wouldn't that cause the fuel pump to go out?
    and the spark is good, like really good, tested them off the frame.
    i did have to replace them one time already, cause the ones that were in there, were foul, but my sis just had them replaced(found that out after i replaced them).

    The fuel pump wouldn't go out, it just wouldn't come on. So the car has been run since it was rebuilt? It just stopped running?

    had the rebuild, then vtec solenoid went out, which that didn't matter. then the TPS sensor goes out, it has been replaced, about a few weeks ago, its drops a cylinder, got the cylinder back and then just falls out, which is the way it is now.

    check the ICM. I'm just trying to help, I've worked for Honda for 4 years, and sometimes the stupidest things get over looked.
