well it cranks but thats about it, its has spark and fuel, and no codes...it backfires for some reason i have no idea, flames come out of the intake...any ideas?

No compression? Timing is off?

Try checking the timing.

i forgot to mention i was just driving this car 2 days ago, it hesitated when starting then fired and i drove it with no real problems and today went to start it but nothing, do you guys have any links on how to set timing on a d15b7 engine in a 94 cx hatch, thanks

Hmmmm. flames out the intake? Might wanna check your timing just a guess.

sounds like cam or ignition timing is off.check that.

any one have any ideas how to check timing? also what is ignition timing

jlacoy82

Cam timing = mighta jumped a tooth on the belt, ignition timing is set by the distributor position, changed by loosening the 3 bolts on the dizzy mounting flange and rotating it.

You need a timing light to check timing. There are 3 hash marks on the crank pulley and if you look down the side of the timing belt cover, there should be a mark or groove that lines up with another mark on the block, and you use these to "sight" the hash marks on the crank.

I'll see if me or anyone else can find a "How-To" on checking timing. I know how to on a b-series, not sure exactly on d's.

This could cause flames out your intake

Ignition timing I do not believe will do this. I've fully retarted and advanced my timing many o times and never had the problem your experiencing.

I was suggesting more along the lines of cam timing. If your belt is old and you goose it just right you could cause the belt to "skip a tooth" which could result in a no start/heavy start, or like you explained flames from the intake.

well after having it plugged in for a while it started but then i drove aroudn with fully oporating temperature then shut it off and tried starting it again it started slow again

wpgcivic

yaeh both the cam and ignition timing are dead on, it takes a couple cranks then fires even when i shut the car off at operating temp and start it right after, please i need more ideas i depend on this car day to day...thanks
