Default Car won't start. Please help?

I have a integra that turns over but doesn't start I pulled out the fuel injectors and started the car all was shooting fuel. I also pulled out spark plugs and put it next to battery groud all spark plugs had spark. I also disconnected the headers and started the car and all the cylinders was shooting fire. I don't know what the problem is can some one help me?

Just because the injectors are all spraying doesn't mean it's the correct amount and/or pressure

You must use a correct spark tester just letting it near a metal bolt does not simulated a combustion chamber.

Is battery voltage above 9.6v? Does engine crank normally not sluggish?

A very worn clutch disc can make a engine not start, happened to one of my civics back in the day, installed a new one and it fired right up.

LOL , I definatly want to see that explanation.

hawaii, you need 3 main things for engine to run, compression, fuel and spark.

Check compression, you can rent a compression tester if you do not have access to one.
Check fuel pressure with a fuel pressure gauge, $50 or less for a mountable one.
Check spark with an HEI spark tester, around $10.
Check both the valve and ign. timing, you can rent a timing light if you do not have access to one, you only need your eyes to check valve timing.

I would also check valve lash, [valve adjustment].

What model/year is your Integra? 94

Clutch disc is so glazed over or no material left on it to grab to start engine. It's happened tp me and a buddy of mine. Changed the clutch disc, pressure plate, and both bearings without touching any other systems and in both cases they fired right up. Don't know what else I need to say don't got to prove nothing to you two. Just because it's never happened to you craptain and fcm doesnt mean it cant happen. If you don't have a life and all you can do is thread hop around to threads I post in to ridicule and talk **** I'll report you to the mods this is getting ridiculous GROW UP this isn't the 8th grade.

no need to go crying to the mods. this aint no witch hunt.
just trying to keep unsuspecting ht members from consuming the already extreme influx of utter nonsense.

maybe you need to go back and google how a 4 stroke engine works. the clutch disc has absolutely zero effect on the starting/running of an engine. it could be removed altogether and the motor would turn over just fine.
being the child that you are though, i'm sure you'll wanna put your foot in your mouth once again in order to get the last word in. so have at er. i won't respond to continue useless banter. but i will be watching out for your misinformative posts

to the op, fcm has suggested some good basic checks to get you started.
fuel
ignition
timing
compression. have a look at those and report back

Report us to a mod, go ahead, your the one with the big mouth, calling people names, make veiled treats, even disparaging my country, even now your making stupid remarks, "If you don't have a life and all you can do is thread hop around to threads I post in to ridicule and talk ****.

As for ridiculing you, we do not need to do that, you do such a good job at that all by yourself.

This is about keeping the information here correct, if you think the clutch has anything at all to do with the engine starting, [or not] it shows you know very little about what the clutch does.

You must know that the clutch is disengaged when stepping on the clutch pedal to start the engine, in fact you could remove the clutch and the engine would still start.

FYI, the starter motor engages the ring gear on the fly wheel, the flywheel is connected to the engine crank, the clutch has nothing at all to do with that. 94

Hey Mr know it all 1 & 2 I know that but thanks for repeating your self must make your egos feel better. You tell different members the same stuff maybe they should search for it and not start the same threads over and over. Clayton already pm me to talk to him about being targeted and insulted and it's always you two doin it so keep it up please.

My car wouldn't start and did so after changing clutch I know it was a head scratcher for me and my buddy who had the same thing happen to him. Nothing else was changed but everything was tested and worked so who knows don't insult me and move on those post of mine were removed. If you can't play by the rules but expect everyone else to well that makes you a sociopath and you need to find some other way of pumping up your egos.

I'm in here.

When you changed the clutch, did you not remove the starter?

Replacing the clutch did not correct your starting issue. Removing and reinstalling your starter did. You provided bad advice to the OP.

well if your gonna tell me to google search stuff to find it out wtf is this site even here, all the members here can do the same thing. And that might be the case but on both of our cars the flywheels were fine and my buddys had a new starter in it that was starting his car just fine till one day. Then he changed it all out, needed to any ways cause his disc and plate were wasted, so we assumed it was the problem.

And I already said to check pressure gravedigga227 in post #2 first line, but wait to repeat it......o wait Im full of misinformation that wannabe mod crapitain is gonna be looking for from me. WOW someone needs to get a life, whos up at 5-6am to post on here.

Sometimes people need to be talked through their problems. We know nothing of the history of this car right now. I often help people ask the correct questions. I also know that there is a time to offer advice and a time to listen.

As long as you keep spewing your crap, I will keep responding, I never said I would not, show me where I said that.

You keep getting your panties in a knot because we correct you and your misleading information, you come back and call us names, you make veiled threats and now your crying because a mod got on your back.

Like I said before, it seems you can hand it out but you can't take it, not even when your obviously so wrong.

Who gets up at 5-6 in the morning, guys like me that have to be at work by 7:30, so I come on here and try to help out, I sure as hell am not looking for your posts to flame you, I have run across a few, [very few] of your posts that you did not give misleading info or become an SOB so you do not see me on them, I also do not flame you on any tread untill you start your verbal diarrhea.

So here is some advice, suck it up and move on. 94

You all need to drop it. And DeCePtEgRa, you need to stop providing bad advice. Listen to the members who have experience and learn from their problem solving skills.

Until the OP responds with the history of this car, there is no advice to provide since the problem is still quite ambiguous. We can guess all day, but that achieves nothing.
