I've googled a lot to find my same symptoms and found no solution yet, but I'm not that experienced with Honda's yet so I most likely missed it and it's right in front of my nose. I'm getting blue spark at each plug. The wires are 1-3-4-2 order. Spark is not my issue. I replaced my clutch master cylinder and possibly knocked something loose under the dash but I don't think that's my problem.
This is where I am:
Car runs daily, then I leave for 1 week and it sits
Car turns over fine new NGK plugs fire no start
Car has blue sparks at all 4 plugs
Pulled the banjo bolt at the fuel filter gas came out as I turned the car over
I pulled all 4 plugs and they all smell like gas after turning
MAP sensor works as it should
ECU works as it should
I pulled the air filter off and that made no difference
Today I sprayed starting fluid in the throttle body. As I turned the car over nothing fired so I pumped the gas pedal RAPIDLY, the car fired and ran in time with the pedal pumps, ran and poorly while doing so. The second I stopped pumping it died and wouldn't fire again.
Please tell me what the next steps are I can take to figure this out. I miss my stick
Before I did the distributor it was orange. I see what your saying though and will look for a rebuilt honda distributor today and give that a try if I can afford it. Thank you.
Well I think I figured it out. I went to start the car and held the throttle all the way down. Then pulled every plug and they were fouled gas and carbon. I'm thing my injectors got clogged while it sat that week. Any thoughts or tips to getting going from here or just keeping pulling the plugs cleaning them, letting the cylinders dry out and pedal to the floor again?
