Integra motor theived! Now what?

Someone stole my buddy's 160k mile 95 Integra and extricated the motor/trans...then dumped it. It was recovered, basically as he left it, but without a heart.

Before this, it was in pretty good...

Re: Cranks but won't turnover, have spark/fuel

What color/quality is the spark at the plug?

And yes, if you keep trying to crank you just get gas all over the plugs and nothing will happen.
I had a similar problem with a 97EX and after we...

Re: Trying to set cam timing...

It should have been pretty tight getting the new belt up over the cam pulley. If it is still on and your timing is all lined up, all you need to do is pop that little cover over the 14mm bolt that...

Re: Trying to set cam timing...

Yeah, screwdrivers would work. I wanted something I could glance at and see really quickly where everything was without having to remember if the screwdrivers were all the same length or not.

Re: Trying to set cam timing...

^ Yes it is superfun!

It really helps to have a spare person when you are doing it so they can see if you move the crank off TDC when tugging on the timing belt. If you have the top timing cover...

Re: RWD Civic Conversion

Well the point of northstar in the back was you could drop the whole K out for ease of use. It wouldn't be much different in concept than an L67 Fiero swap, which is pretty tried and true.

I'm...

Re: RWD Civic Conversion

That entirely depends on your motor choice and location. If you went with, say, a Northstar V8 in the back over the wheels, it would be much different than the wenkel in front with a torque tube,...

Re: RWD Civic Conversion

Are you planning on keeping the motor in the front?
Are you planning on using the stock motor?

In summary

Yes.

The only part that was proved to be dead was the igniter, which tested fail 6 times on all but one of the 8 or so diagnostics on the autozone machine. Of course we either killed that...

Icon3 Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

It started.

I drove back to the office after lunch in my wife's car and saw the Honda sitting in my spot. Of course I shouted some excited expletives.

Apparently, at the end of last night it...

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

The fluctuation sensor is installed. It would be dangling obviously out by the crank pulley otherwise, as we never disconnected it, only dismounted it and moved it out of the way to get the new belt...

On the CEL - yes it comes on at startup and then extinguishes.

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

Hmmm. No idea about those two things. What supplies the injectors with voltage?

Mechanical timing is now dead on. Quite the chore that was, only taking the top timing belt cover off and...

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

Mechanical timing was off by maybe a quarter of an inch on the crank. We fixed that, put everything back together and checked the ignition again.

Primary and secondary resistance were within spec...

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

OK so we have spark, and it is white.

Multimetered the yellow/black wire and I have ~12.2 volts.


Tried to fire and had a modicum of combustion, but it wouldn't stay lit, it just kind of...

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

My multimeter may be dead. Have to get a new one. I checked spark the right way, still nothing.

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

I just tried the screwdriver in the 1 plug boot trick and did not see any spark when I tried arcing to a metal bolt on the rad support.

No CEL. At key on, if we leave it there, the pump primes...

Re: 97 Civic will not run, post timing belt

^Just tried that with a variety of screwdrivers and grounding points - nothing. We had spark yesterday, but today, no.

I guess it's cap rotor and testing of the coil time.
