So far I've changed the main relay, battery, check fuses, plugs, rotor, cap, wires and the timing looks like it's dead on but i'm not sure how to tell. Well this is what it sounds like when I try to start it.

is your fuel pump priming?

Jameson

Yeah I'm getting fuel.

I have the same problem. If you figured it out please let me on the secret. I've replaced all that I can think of and it sound just like your vid. I'm still working it, if you havent repaired it I'll let you know if I find anything out.

Luserkid

From the sounds of it your not sparking. Do you have another dist. you could try?

I can't figure it out but I'll let you know too if I can get it started.

No actually I don't...

Luserkid

Check your spark plugs, the wires, cap, rotor, the simple stuff. Those arent it go with ignitor and coil. Changing the dist. would be the eaisest.

My JDM EJ8

are you sure your getting spark in all the cylinders? check your distributor or even the valves on the head, if there bent even a little the car wont start. did you upgrade something in the engine or something?

Jameson

I just changed out the cap, rotor, plugs, wires. I was told maybe the ignition coil so I took my distr. off and the outer casing of the ignition coil is cracked and the little spark thingie is kind of burned up. Could that be the reason?

Jameson

Forgot to mention when I was changing the spark plugs I had alot of oil around the spark plug in number 4. What could be causing that?

fastrc2

YES!!!! the coil burned and cracked is a defininate problem, if it isnt causing the car to not run, surely its arcing over to the ignitor and hurt it too.....very common, also the oil i number 4 must be taken care off, causes misfires,a nd over works the coil......sound like a chain reaction maybe? the cause is the valve cover spark plug tube seals. they come with a good quality valve cover gasket. so redo the valve cover gasket and tube seals and bolt grommets, and new coil, check the ignitor in the dizzy for signs of damage by the busted coil

chuisek9

ok see if u getting spark by someone cranking it and you hold a wire next to the cap it don't matter which one!!

StreetRiot_DRE

i had tha same exact problem, it ended up being tha coil....nd i had bad luck cuz i bought a junk yard dizzy nd that one blew 2 so i was confused wit the problem. then a friend came at me with a coil for free and it been runnin since....

Jameson

I just ordered a new coil so we'll see if that is the definate problem so I'm keeping my fingers crossed on this one because lack of funds is killing me on fixing this.

JDM_SOHC

well good luck dude... i had that problem as well, u sure ur wires are all in correct order also..??

Jameson

Yeah I've checked but thanks for trying to help

GL dude..

usdmEHboy

I'm going to say ignition coil..same thing happened to me

95civhb

I had the same problem a couple years ago, it was the distributor...

pdiggitydogg

Have you checked the continuity of each ground wire? To each other, to the engine, AND to the ecu?
What is the resistance reading?

1stgenboost

if u have lots of oil in ur number 4 plug then pull the valve cover and add some sealant to the little rubber grommits that are in there. its a pretty common thing..

Thanks for the help I appreciate it guys

Jameson

Ignition coil came in today and nothing happened. It still sounds like how it is in the video. Although it sounded like it wasn't getting enough power so i tried to jump it and it sounded alot better then it sort of made like a cough sound every now and then. I'm all out of ideas on what to do. Please help me get my car back

Ls_Vtec619

did you happen to mess with the timing belt by chance cuz it sounds like your timing is off just a thought

Jameson

Nah, I haven't touched the timing belt at all. How can I check to make sure it's TDC?
