do you have fuel pressure? is there fuel getting to the injectors?

Former User

What car and engine?

Have you checked cylinder compressions?

Are the spark plug wires attached to the distributor cap in the correct firing order?

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

Any CEL codes?

accord2civic2prelude

yes i have fuel pressure..pump is priming.

accord2civic2prelude

yes..im getting compression.

and from what ive searched on here...firing order is

1 3
2 4...4 closest to dizzy and 1 closest to cam gear
spark is semi white/blue when i touch it to the valve cover.
and no im not getting any CEL codes.

im all searched out and out of ideas..

ok..i had a p28 ecu that was chipped before but the chip was taken out. the two jumpers and th erev limiter chips are still on there. i swapped that for my original p06 and it started. only problem is, it wont stay started unless i keep giving it gas. could it be my ignition coil or switch? it runs like a subaru when it is running

accord2civic2prelude

help..anybody!

accord2civic2prelude

I know somebody has something to say..lol! Could it be my ignition switch or coil?

throw that motor away and put in a B series. call it a day.

try a stock p28 ecu.

lol..sorry im going h2b. Im waiting on my manifold from obx and axles from gator. im just doing this because i never have done a mini me and wanted to see how it is. Never thought i would run into this many problems.

If i use a stock p28, do you think that will make it stay on at idle with out gas?

u have LEAK in intake manifold this happen to me before get soappy water n trow it on intake manifold find out were is leaking from

i have a d15b7 bottom end and d16z6 head in my car. i have been running a unmodded p28 with no problems for a about a year now.

accord2civic2prelude

ok..cool! the p28 that i am using was chipped but the chip was removed but the jumpers and the rev limiter chip are still on there. would that make a difference?

ekb16a...would a leak like that cause it to shut off when no gas is applied?

f20_Dreams

could be ecu

accord2civic2prelude

With the p28 it wouldnt start at all. then i tried my stock p06 and it will start, sounds like a wrx like timing..but that was triple checked and it will not stay on unless i keep giving gas.

accord2civic2prelude

anybody?

91teg_ls

try and virgin ecu

accord2civic2prelude

my p06 is as stock as you can get. it should make it run decent, but with no vtec right? I have that plug in now and it starts but wont stay running. the p28, it wont even turn over..

ekb16a

u have sensors mix up chnage tps n map switch em try that if has a leak still turn on i dint read ur post rite

accord2civic2prelude

can you mix up the tps and map sensors?

Jimster480

yes because its the same plug. It sounds very possible that you mixed it up, because you have to give it gas in order for it to run.

accord2civic2prelude

but when i changed the head, i left everything hooked up, i just unbolted the intake manifold and puled it back. sorry, not that!

accord2civic2prelude

Anybody have an idea of whats going on?

make sure your 1324 isnt mixed up had a friend get mixed up because his 1 wasnt in the right place make sure your 1 starts on the flat side of the dizzy
