Heres the story:
I put a 97 dx swap in my 92 cx.. Car started up and i drove it around for a few days. When i left the car sitting for a few days it wouldnt start. funny thing was if it was in the sun it wouldnt started but if u push it to the shade then it would. I thought it was main relay and changed that but now even in the shade it wont start. it sounds like its gonna start sometimes after cranking it for about 30 sec.. I've thought of everything that it could be but still no start.. I change dizzy, fuel pump, spark plugs, spark wires, cap, rotor. same thing.. Please help a brother other. The car was suppose to be registered a month ago and the bank needs the title.. its got spark, fuel, and primes. when i check the cel the engine light just stays on and dosent flash or anything but if i thik the jumper out then no cel. thanks for any info in advance.. I need it runing like last month..

Ive actually heard of this before, a friend of a friend had a same model accord that he had to put ice on during a hot day to get it to start. Ask around im sure this is not uncommon.

does it go to turn over at all? Or is it just quite? How's the clutch pedal? Are you fully engaging the pedal? Go over the whole swap again...recheck and check again what you've done.

it just trys to turn over but it dont. sometimes it almost fires up but then stops.
