My integra has been sitting for 4 months.
Yesterday, I tried to start it, and had no luck. I tried to drop the cranking enrichment (as per Hondata), since my plugs were coated in fuel, and that didn't work.

I have spark, and fuel.
I have compression.
I've confirmed that the both the cam timing and distributor timing are correct.

Yet, it still won't kick over.
The only thing I can think of is that the gas has gone bad.
Is there anyway to test my gas?
And if I do find that it's bad, what can I do?

I'm pretty sure it's not your gas...My teg was sitting for 8 months with the same gas...the only problem I had was the battery...You battery good?

try looking at all fuses. Your gas should be fine

My car's been sitting for a few months with a dead battery.

we jump started it. and worked fine.

so yeah your gas should be good!

id start by getting new plugs.

The reason I thought it was the gas is because I have both spark, and fuel. Plus, my car was in a carport throughout the winter. I also have a ton of oxidization under the hood too. The moisture made a mess of everything.....

Anyway, I drained the gas since it was crappy low octane. I'll put some fresh 92 octane in today, along with some plugs, and a cap/rotor. Hopefully that will work.

I also did a little test with the gas I drained from the car in a fire.
Instead of exploding with a "WOOF!" it slowly burned.


I hope this works.
But for good measure, I'll double check all the fuses.

i had the same problem. check the wires leading to the distributor, mine were sparking like crazy all over the place and whenever it got damp outside the car would'nt start, even though i had spark/fuel. try replacing the wires, thats what i did, works perfect
