ok... so i just put a new tranny in my 94 ex.. belive it is from a 98dx.. either way. i have new clutch and tranny.. but my stick shift has always been a lil wobbley when it's in 1st u can wiggle it around and just like rest of the gears... well i was driving my car normal.. i was going around 50ish going from 2nd to 3rd when all of a sudden.... i let clutch out and i go to 10grand probably.. i put clutch right back in... IT WAS 1st gear i went into... well my car started to spudder..... goes from 2K to like 5K then 1K to 3 til i got to a stoplight... then it just died. pulled over into a parken lot. tried to start it back.... NOTHING... just turns over...... i towed it home... so now i can get in it.. turn it over but will not crank

what could it be?
valves?
jump time?
distro retorted?

timing belt did not snap took valve cover off nd looked but did not check to see about jump time...

thanks in advance for your help not sarcasum

My buddy did the same thing, turned out to be alot of bent valves.

hope that is not the problem. i just took my spark plug out 1 at a time and test them onto metal... NO FIRE..... took my distro cap off and pluged a spark plug wire into the coil and put a screw driver in the other end and touched it to metal.. NO SPARK.... so i am not getting spark to my distro.


distro is first correct? or would valves prevent that from sparking and it still be good?

valves would not prevent it from sparking

but i would say you might have bent some.

man my whole front end went down and back came up! i was like WHOA! scared thought i was gonna wreck ... but i probably have bent valves.... easier to get a new vtec head or get it all redone?

so i need new distro anyways eh? should i get stock or should i get msd stuff? not like the expensive... <--- on budget! christmas killed me. still gotta pay my car note for my spyder

Probably not a bad idea to check the condition of your motor mounts too, if your motor rocked that bad you might have some damage to them.

I did that in my R, bent valves alright. I was able to limp it 5 hours back from the race track. On the S2000, when you do that, the retainers crack and it's just a matter of time before you drop a valve.
