hey, well im working on a 99 civic lx automatic.
Well the problem is well the car doesnt start. well it cranks and it would start but wold have a terrible missfire. and would backfire and have alot of smoke.
i checked for spark and there is spark, replaced coil and rotor, fuel pressure is ok, checked timming and check to be aligned,
there are no codes except for 02 sensor. compression is good on all four.. im clueless need help..

possibly bad fuel or something clogged in fuel line, just a possibility.

bigislandc2

well i checked fuel pressure and fuel pressure is good. if there was a clogged line would there still be pressure. 45psi

fuel pump. fuel filter. maybe your injectors are bad. when you prime the car, do you hear gas flowing to the injectors?

Well, when i took off the line to the rail and turn key on eng, off, and fuel would flow ok.. even jumped pump to check that.
