    Default Anyone wanna help me get this integra running? it wont start

    Hey guys! My integra will not start at all I even tried popping the clutch and it didn't work. Im wondering if it could be the main relay or icm or something simple.. Anyone with a spare obd1 b18 dizzy wanna let me try it on my teg to see if it starts? I'm in the Riverdale/Jonesboro area.

    Its a 92 ls with a b18b swap.

    Check and double check fuses, meaning pull them out and look. If you don't have the right tools to check things then it makes things harder to explain online.. If you can throw parts at it cool, but it could be something simple.. Ether listed in above post will help!

    Do you have a test light or power probe?

    Darn :/ I don't have any of the above. Yesterday on the drive home the car actually would cut out around 3500rpm also but would go over it if I downshifted.

    Sounds like you are in the ball park with replacing the dizzy, if you can find a dizzy to try then it's a start.. I can't say for sure without test, or you testing..

    means you've got the timing off or plug wires in the wrong order!

    I'm gonna bet it's this. Common mistake. The fix is just a rotation away.

    i've had the timing off on mine and was still able to drive it until i got i bought a timing gun and reset the timing...truthfully, i didnt even need a timing gun, after i figured out wtf i was doing. but you cant set teh timing unless the car is gona be running...it's something else i believe. get another relay, try that..if it starts, put your old dizzy back on, if it still runs, take the new dizzy back

    If not any of that mentioned, check the main relay, I had the same issue with my swapped ek with a b18b & wasted $$$ on new wires, plugs & dizzy.... Still got nothing then hit up "RBS" (richard) & he came to me & had my car running in 15min & gave him $70 to do it!

    Timing is off 180° since it jumped timing. Gonna pull the head to see if any valves are bent.

    A leak down test would tell you that without pulling head off..

    just take the cam out and see if all of the valves/springs return to the top. and/or do a leakdown test. or a compression test after you set the time properly.
