Ok my car still wont start for some reason. im getting great spark and plenty of fuel why else would the car not start? car cranks over but will not start any input on this?

redlinetuning

have you checked your dizzy cap and rotor? check your fuses too.

JDMlyfestyle

Its gettin spark all across the board. What fuses should i check?

GTlvr82

Sounds stupid but check your ground wires...happened to me. Car wants to start but it had a bad ground...go figure.

check your fuses in the engine bay first.. that's where most of the critical fuses are, then check the others if there aren't any blown fuses. However, just becuase you're getting sparks doesn't necessarily mean much.. take off the dizzy cap and inspect it. if need be take some fine grain sandpaper and clean off the brushes.

have you done a diagnostics? what year and model car? pull the carpet under the pass. side dash back a ways and you'll see the ecu cover. there should be a hole with a led flashing when you turn your key to the ON position. count the flashes. If there are multiple codes, the led will flash a sequence, then pause, and the next error sequence will flash.

hey man sorry to hear about ur car check your crank sensor or cam sensor thats my 2 cents

good luck

throwing code 21 and 10. Vtec Spool Solenoid. and air intake temp sensor

JDMlyfestyle

just did another code search just 10 and 21 still.

common i need to know cause i gotta go to work in the morning..

redlinetuning

The vtec spool solenoid valve sensor shouldn't have anything to do with it.

take your iat sensor and put it back on. my bet's on the dizzy cap. my beater ef did the same **** to me this fall.. it was flashing all sorts of codes and i took the damn dizzy cap off and replaced the rotor.. put a new cap on, worked for a bit, then I put the old cap back on and it's been running fine since then.

swap dizzy's with a friend and see if it helps.

chad

check firing order....1-3-4-2

check grounds....MUST HAVE GROUND ON TRANNY ON A HONDA!!! ask me how i know....i spent countless hours trouble shooting that one!

Check to make sure crank is at TDC when cam(s) are at tdc....

other than that don't konw what else would cause it not to fire....if it has fuel and spark should crank!

JDMlyfestyle

alright i will do that. keep all suggestions coming. thanks guys

JDMlyfestyle

Up cause i need more info before i go diggin into the car. what fuses should i check on my car ect

JDMlyfestyle

ok just checked everything once again.intake cam is advanced 5 degree's exhaust cam is O. the rotor position at top dead center is #4. does all this sound correct?

redlinetuning

i'm thinking rotor pos. tdc #1.. have you tried swapping dizzy caps with someone?

fuses.. just check for a blown fuse..

JDMlyfestyle

dont have a spare dizzy.. checked all fuses and its all good

redlinetuning

just go to NAPA or Autozone and get one.. it's only like $14.. don't do Pep Boys.. their caps suck *****...

make sure your distributor isn't 180 degrees out. take it off and rotate the shaft 180 and put it back on.

mattssi

I dont think they can be put in 180 off! They won't fit right! Make sure you plug wires are all correct! Check the grounds, like the one on the valve cover, and the one on the thermostat! The three main components for a running engine is spark, fuel, and timing! So If your getting 2 outta 3, check your timing!

sammysnakes

it can, trust me. i have done it before.

Andres-eh2

get a wire and put it on the
postive (+) of your starter and on the
postive (+) of the battery then try to crank.

Do you have an alarm on it? Cut off switches?

JDMlyfestyle

OK the car is running. a logical thing i forgot to do i reset the ECU. then i cranked it and gave it some gas and wala. Thanks for the help guys. still cant figure out what it was that caused it to do that.
