adrenalinejunkie

what do you mean "dropped the clutch"?

Lord Milferdeen

Stop wasting time and swap in a B18B. Problem solved

adrenalinejunkie

first things to do in any situation is check for air fuel and spark, make sure it has those then move from there. the first thing i have always done when buying used cars is give it a tune up and oil change. mis fire could just be bad spark plug, wires, or distributor cap

my foot slipped off

adrenalinejunkie

i may be stupid but im not following what u did. did it stall out and not start again? were you able to get to where you were headed and then never started again? was in raining when there was a misfire?

BADHDRIVER

out of gas LOL

your foot slipping off the clutch pedal won't cause the car to not start again....your problem has got to be that misfire

Lord Milferdeen

It sounds like its uber tired in the engine department. im guessing with the conversion into kms from miles its over 300000k on that engine and trans. If youre planning on using it as a project i would start by pulling it out instead of pulling your hair out trying to troubleshoot various issues with it. Thats my opinion.

iight so i was drivin and i put it in reverse my foot slipped of the cluthand the car jumped and died when i tried to start it the engine would not start the misfire had been occuring when the car still ran it would putt every couple of seconds would my wires or distributor be bad because the plugs are fairly new i kno this car needs work the ppl who owned it b4 me were ricers all the way my whole engine is spray painted silver wires and all im plannin to have a friend put in a b18 in it but i want it running untill i can afford the swap

Lord Milferdeen

Ahhh solid call. Perhaps its the distributor or an O2 causing the misfire.

another thing to check is whether or not the battery is putting out enough charge and whether or not the alternator is working. i have a vw corrado that had a bad battery would turn over but not start . i checked for air fuel and spark had all three but because the computer wasnt recieving enough power it was like a alzheimer patient that didnt know what was going on.

mpower325

ive trickle charged it for 2 days and it still nuthin

adrenalinejunkie

start with the easiest thing first pull the plugs lay them out turn the engine over and see if they all spark

mpower325

tried that and no spark

imbillkamal

invest in a new motor, what is it gonna cost you 200$?? for a decent d16 without distributor

adrenalinejunkie

there you go! if you're cheap pull dis. cap, clean up see what happens. personally i would change spark plugs wires dis. cap/ rotor. its not expensive and from the way you describe the previous owners it should be the first thing done. if that dasent work come on back and we'll help

adrenalinejunkie

by the way i wouldnt listen to the people that say "put a new motor in" that will just open a new avenue of **** with all new problems!!!

Lord Milferdeen

Im just goin by the fact he said PROJECT poopy head. It makes sense if youre havin problems with a really high milage d just to swap something else in. You may have some problems but all the better to work them out and have a faster car.

BADHDRIVER

timming belt snap off ....

speedooo

do cap/plug/wire/rotor, or change the dist in case the coil went, check fuel pressure by cracking the fitting on the rail or filter case, sounds like the timing skipped

hybridmath

main relay ??????

mpower325

i changed my wires and still it doesnt wanna start im not sure if spark is comin through the wires

uneek360

im not sure what the problem is but could it be the clutch safety relay switch ?? does it push start ??

put the ingnitino key on the second notch.. roll that bitch, put it in second, pop out the clutch if it doesn't start .. theres always a b-series for sale
