im having trouble starting my ls vtec i only dissasembled the head for a cam seal leak and switch out the turbo its tuned to 7 psi....... My car just cranks till the battery dies its on timing and i believe it is my dizzy it only gives a little spark.... i even rigged up the distributor...

i currently changed out the spark plugs because they were flooded and black and now i put these 11 Ngk v power they flooded as well and i cleaned em i gapped them at .50 i believe

Out of ten cranks it 2 times it sounded like it wanted to crank..... anyone?

 

cmon' h tech

 

need to get the car on the road bump

 

Put the plug wires on the right spot on the dizzy. it looks like your firing order is all wacked.

 

4 3
1 2

this is the way i have them

 

3 4
1 2

 

lol

13
24

try this

 

o **** son.... who is right? lol

 

Try it both ways, but i know that its supposed to be:
3 4
1 2

k tried that and it was wired wrong couple of times it sounded like it wanted to turn on as well...
checked the spark and it was good on all 4

 

i say check you timing again and do a compression test

 

Yeah, it sounds like you might be a tooth off on one of the cams or the bottom end or something.

 

i already re did the timing and it is corrrect lol

the car turned on before

 

say bro we got similar set ups im feelin that hatch car is sick bro 11 is a good number 2 be at...

 

bump

 

try taking out the dizzy and turning the shaft 180 degrees, if the rotor is not on the right plug for the cylinders TDC, then it will not fire.

 

apreciate it you was right!!!!

ALSO my tuner had canceled out the IAT sensor and i forgot

i had it plugged in all the time and i took it off when i remember and it fired up the first couple of times


THANKS HONDA TECH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

FTW!!!!!


one bad thing though.... car doesnt want to stay at 1 k it will die sometimes if i dont give it gas?

 

could be a couple things. check fuel pressure.

also, you gap is kinda big for boost. .030 or below is preferred. Don't think it would affect idle that much, but it might help.

 

be careful here. the dizzy one goes into the cam one way. ive broken a distributor trying to force it in the wrong way

also the picture from the rywire website is the correct firing order

 

damn thanks 4 that one bro... c ive told ppl bout that and they have no reply to what type of spark plugs i was using... thankz 4 the heads up

 

no problems man...just completed my ls/v turbo project as well....my NGK's are gapped at .028, and the car runs like a champ through the band, and purrs like a kitty at idle. Let me know if you run into any more probs, maybe I can help.

 

yeah be careful when turning the rotor around 180* the distributor will only go on the cam one way like mentioned above^^ i found out the hard way when i bought a rebuilt distributor and whoever put it back together put the gear on the back of the distributor on the wrong way and i lined up the rotor the way it was when i took it off.. it was kind of hard to get on but i didnt really think nothing of it(my first honda lol) when i tried cranking it over it was jammed and the timing belt skipped a bunch of teeth.... i got really lucky and didnt bent any valves. anyways, make sure the plugs arent fouled out and are gapped properly, and your saying it just dies out at idle?


what is ftw? i've seen this more times then i could ever count and never knew what it meant lol.. sounds like a noob question just never asked.
