We just dropped in another b18b1 motor into my dc4. We pretty much blew the other motor. But anyways, it wont start up. We checked all the wiring, harnesses, fuel lines and whatever else we could think of. the motor would crank but wont start. we tested the spark plug wires and they all arc when we tested them. so i can't be the ignition right? we tested the injectors, to see if they sprayed out fuel and they do. the spark plugs are new, so it can't be the spark plugs. there is gas in the car, so i don't think its the fuel. Anybody got any ideas on what could possibly be wrong? Any input towards fixing the car is much appreciated.

 

Check to make sure you didnt cross the map sensor with the tps. Then I would check the timing to make sure the belt hasnt jumped.

My thoughts exactly.

I switched the tps and map sensor and missed my dyno day b/c I couldn't get it to start.

 

Double check that your plug wires are on the right plugs...if they're getting spark, it could be that it's just not at the right time.

 

Okay I'll try doing these check ups today.

 

check the timing marks and do a compression test, do you know if the motor was running right before you got it?
