Currently I am building a project hatch. It is a 93 dx shell with an ls/v motor. Problem is at this point, I have checked and fuel pump primes, fuel is getting to my rail, I reset the timing and am getting spark but it still wont run. The tricky part is that last week when I was working on it, crank it a few times and after tinkering car started and ran. It would respond to throttle however after I shut it off it wont to anything other than turn over then die. Any ideas would be helpfull. The only thing i can conclude is the injectors, but have trouble believing that since it ran and rev'd.

Is the CEL ON?

Is the mechanical timing set to spec?

Is spark at the plugs bright white bluish or weak orange?

Are the plug wires installed in the correct firing order on the distributor?

Is fuel being injected into the cylinders? Do you measure battery voltage at the injector clips with the key in ON(II)? Are the clips installed in the correct firing order?

Have you checked cylinder compressions?

I had a problem like this when I put a b16 in the hatch I had, I crunk it up twice but it still ended up not wanting to crank.. Mine was the injectors, one of them was cracked.

Thanks for the input guys, the spark is white so we know its strong, but one of the injector caps is cracked once we took them out and looked them over. I believe it was #2 or 3. would it be best just to replace all 4 to be safe? Also firing order was double checked and is correct. Thanks again.

replace injector and check it out.

I just replaced the one in mine, but if you can replace all 4 then that would be good.
