Are you getting any spark? Do you have the ECU from the OBD2? What is happening when you crank? Any check engine lights?

EssenceFracture · 10-26-2006, 04:51 PM

did u put in a better fuel pump? and go back and check tomake sure everything is correct

SOB · 10-26-2006, 05:53 PM

yeah like beak said man, check the spark. Make sure you have spark. If you dont, try swapping ignitors / coils / distributor. you dont have any codes rite?Let us know

b18c1ng2 · 10-26-2006, 05:56 PM

it has sparks.. i pulled the spark plug wire off of the dist. and it sparked..i'm using my p72 ecu also everything i'm using is from my old car..

Is your timing set properly? Also are there any codes? Why did you opt to run OBD II instead of just converting it to OBD-1 with a jumper harness. Make sure your timing is right, and make sure your firing order is right and make sure all your grounds are good.

beak · 10-26-2006, 11:20 PM

Yep, I'd check your timing belt, make sure it's on correctly, and not off a few teeth. And also make sure your firing order is correct.

Motor isn't siezed right

b18c1ng2 · 10-27-2006, 12:05 PM

not sure if it's firing right but i already set the timming already..but i do know that there are sparks...

lostdeception · 10-27-2006, 06:06 PM

Check the firing order and check for codes. Firing order should be

3 4
1 2

my friend did some digging in the car and found out the my ecu is not telling my injectors to pulse.. is there anyway of getting that fixed???

Quik · 10-28-2006, 05:12 PM

what injectors are you using? you may or may not require a driver maybe?

b18c1ng2 · 10-28-2006, 05:25 PM

ok..on the 98+ integra.. can someone tell me where all the ground wires are located?? the only ones i know is the battery one and the one from the fuse box under the dash next to the driver...thanx..

beak · 10-28-2006, 07:12 PM

There is also an ECU ground under your thermostat... if that's not hooked up, you're SOL. Check it!

b18c1ng2 · 10-30-2006, 03:07 PM

yea..it was already grounded...i'm using the stock injectors..i cant possibly think of any other reasons y my car wont start..

Eclipsed · 10-30-2006, 04:07 PM

try some new grounds on the chassis / tranny / motor. And you sure it sparks and the injectors fire right?
