Engine (gas) is 1,4i, made in japan for the european marked.
Engine just stopped, tried for long to get it started but no luck.
In fact it did acumulate gasoline in the intake manifold...
It cranks ok, but no spark.

Came to the conclusion that the ignitor was bad and replaced it.
Now there is spark but still no start.

I've also tried to replace main relay and ignition switch...

So where do I go from here????

Are you getting fuel, after you fixed the ignitor?

Johannes civic

I'm not sure. How to a test this in a good way?

pityocamptes

Can you hear the pump prime?

Johannes civic

Yes, the pump primes for about 5-8 sek.

Johannes civic

Can I use a test lamp to check the injectors getting their signal?

pityocamptes

Do the injector clips have battery voltage to body ground with the key in ON(II)?

Johannes civic

I'l check. So there is battery voltage to the injectors when ignition is on?

pityocamptes

Should be...

Johannes civic

Battry voltage is present in the injector clips.

Is your spark weak or strong? Did you try starting it after you flooded the intake with gas? Or have you tried it later? If you pull a plug are they flooded with fuel, dry?

Johannes civic

I'd say the spark is normal. I've tried to start after flooding.
The intake has been dried, plugs taken out, was moist.
Used a blower to blow through intake and exhaust via plug holes to get rid of gas.

Have you checked your timing? Possible it may have skipped a tooth or more?

Johannes civic

Could be a timing issue, but i'm a bit pusseled it should happen at the same time as the ignitor goes bad.....

pityocamptes

You sure you are getting an intense spark (should be white)? Did you pull the plug wires and maybe reverse them or get them mixed up? When you put the ignitor in did you pull the dizzy rotor/cap and make sure they are on correctly?

pityocamptes

Any CELS?

Johannes civic

I'll check the timing. Also I'd had to dismantle the regulator housing to replase a broken screw holding the ignitor. I think it's impossible to mount it 180 degrees wrong , but maybe not?

What does CELS mean?

Thanks a lot so far..

CEL = check engine lights

Have you pulled the plugs and made sure the cylinders are not flooded with fuel?

Johannes civic

The CEL was there until I replaced the ignitor. Code 15 I belive it was.
Plugs have been out, the cylinders are not flooded.
So I'll check the timing, double check plug cables if they can be mixed up.
Hope & pray there's something worong there.

But just now I've got a date with Johnnie Walker....
