I swapped an H22 in my cx hatchback in late March. I still haven't been
able to fire up the car. When I turn the key the fuel pump primes and then the starter starts working but it wont fire up. The motor just turns over but wont kick on. I have changed the cap and rotor. I checked for spark today which there is on all four plug wires. A fri.end told me my injectors might be clogged and to get them cleaned. I took the injectors out and there is fuel in the fuel rail...which means there fuel getting to the injectors. But not sure if there spraying from the injectors. How do I clean the injectors with them being out? Also if I get the injectors cleaned and thats not the problem what else could it be? Its almost been five months since I swapped the motor in. I need some help.

You can't clean out injectors unless you have a machine designed to clean injectors. The most you could do yourself really is to pull off the filter screens on top of them and see if they are plugged. It'd be a crazy thing if all 4 injectors happen to go bad at the same time. The car should at least stumble or barely try to start if one or few of the injectors are plugged.

Does the car make even the slightest attempt to start? Is the ECU ok?

Are you sure you have the right plug wire order? Did you wire up the resistor pack correctly, or at all? Are your ground wires good, do you have enough of them?

check all grounds, fuel pressure, maybe your starter is dead. try tapping on it with a stick to release it from inside.

Yes I do have enough grounds I even have extra. As for the plug order I got it from the internet somewhere but not to sure if its right. Is the correct firing order 1-3-4-2. A resistor pack did not come with the swap. Do I need one? There is fuel pressure. No CEL on. I dont think the starter is dead because it turns the motor when I turn the key. How do you check if the ECU is okay?

YOU HAVE TO HAVE A RESISTOR PACK NUMB NUTS HA sport harness? GET IT NOW and along with an ebay resistor box for the driver side firewall

Is there H22 motors that dont use resistor packs? The person I bought the swap from didnt use a resistor pack. If I do use a resistor pack there is no plug to plug it in. I just a little lost.

DEPENDS ON YOUR INJECTORS hi/low impediance

Here's the firing order:

rx7tocivic

the need for the resistor box depends on the injectors used. What ecu are you using? any cels?

Brolic H

gsr injectors work

crx2hatch

There are no cels. Not sure on the Ecu but its not the stock one. Doesnt say what kind it is.

paulstewart

The ecu might be a p13obd1

I am also having the same problem but I replaced plugs and distributor and the main relay...
