Turbolude96

So I've searched all over for my specific problem but can't seem to find any info.

Well a few days ago I was cleaning my grounds (transmission to chassis, battery to chassis) just to make sure they were still looking good. I hook everything back up and it won't start. I've double triple checked everything and i for sure didn't leave anything loose/disconnected.

Before that I was having no problems besides from it running a bit richer than normal so that's why I was looking over my car. I started by replacing the spark plugs, still wouldn't start. It's an external coil and I'm getting power to that, and getting power to the wire from the coil to the dizzy but no spark to my spark plug wires. Anyone have any ideas??

It's a stock ignition with a stock external coil. The main relay is good and all fuses are good and so are all the grounds. And it's getting no CEL lights running a chipped P13

A "turbolude" running a chipped p13? I am far from a pro, but I am priittttty sure that a p13 probably cant be chipped?? anyway, that is making me think that you have a different ECU and NOT a p13.

You did not say if the motor is turning over, but I will assume that it is turning over. Continuing with my assumption: if you have a chipped anything, I sure hope that unplugging everything did not blank out your tuned map :0

If you bought the car with the turbo and ecu already on the car, then you need to hook up a computer and download a copy of that basemap (if it's not too late already) for safe keeping. A tune costs hundreds at a tunershop.....save it.

I'm pretty sure it's a P13 I haven't looked at it in a while but it runs fine with the chip for the time being I've been using it the past year no problem. I've been waiting to get my P28 hondata s300 tuned. But I don't think it got messed up because I've unhooked the battery plenty of time and didn't lose the map. But yea it turns over

Cool well there's some good help people, that's obviously not the problem I know how to build a car. So just in case you think you figured it out it was just a bad dizzy cap and rotor

Do I smell a little bit of sarcasm? I was just trying to help, pal.

lol don't sweat the "pros" that wind up finding out that the problem was a cap and rotor, dude.

Thanks, . but I really am curious if a p13 can be chipped? I often put a disclaimer on my advice that I am not a certified professional, but I thought the general rumour is that you had to step up your ecu if you want it chipped for tuning? Or is it that the p13 can have a chip replaced with the eBay "spoon" chips?

I just need some clarification so I know I am not giving bad advice from now on.
