i dont knwo whether i dont have somethign hooked up or whats happening,,, all the timing is done on the car, but my question is ,, is there a certain spot the dizzy rotor has to be in position???

Check your fuses , grounds , Turn the key to On and see if you have and codes. You can take off the fuel line(in) and turn key to ON and see if fuel is coming to the fuel rail. If you have tried all that already then, you may have something crossed. Was this a dpfi then mpfi? If then check over your wiring. If I think of anything else ill chime in.. Good Luck

get a jack and long strong flat had or something and jack up on the clutch lever it will go up as it goes up slide in the cable.

Hey
I did a b16a swap on my 86 crx so I pretty much had to make the whole wireing harness

To me sounds like if nothing is powering on or onley some things are. You don't have it hooked up right.
Try follow your Hot lead from battery make sure u have all your wires right??
Check that well that messed with me on my swap
o
allso make sure you have all your ground wires hooked up like that 1 on the trans

With the clutch i would not put a jack under your clutch arm.
sounds to me like you have the wrong clutch cable
if it's that tight of a fit think bout it your clutch will never fully engage

Mine just slides right in
I'll look up the clutch cable you need and get the wiren pin out if you want

CasonRacen

the clutch cable supose to slide in easy so then you are able to ajust it

hmm sweet that worksf or the clutch cable, but why wont my best start

and also i have a moddified ls linkage, that i cant seem to bolt up to where the "stud" in the tranny coms out, is it fine to bolt it to the tranny using a 17 mm bolt???

CasonRacen

u don't have the bitch pin?

CasonRacen

talking Bout for the shift linkage?? it's self??? or the stablizer that bolts up to the trans.????

91_civicsi

stabilizer there is no stabilizer lol,,, i just have the rubber bushing in that circular part, with the washer and the bolt,,, we didnt bother with the bitch pin, we just pulled the motor out and put back in with the linkage still attached, because for the simple fact that the bitch pin is a "bitch"

i just want to get my ****** car running,,, anyone have any REALLY good write ups on how to wire vtec in, with acutal real life photos, that wuold be sweet :D i already have the wries ran from last year through the firewall i just need to know which pins to tap into, or should i just splice them in, but i still need to know which ones

thanks

sup bro,,,,,is the car running yet\!!!!!!!!!!!!! does it crank!!!!!!!! if it does then take compression.......... spark and fuel Psi if u live near me ill fix the car for u

91_civicsi

im in canada :S u in canada? lol

It cranks, like i said i havent checked for spark fuel and compression yet, but it makes the compression noise when we were setting timing u know the weird compression sound lol i dont know how to explain it

it was dark , like i said it doesnt smell like fuel when trying to crank so i think that is where the problem might lie (hoping) , im pretty srue there is gonna be spark there,,, but i'll check it (was too dark last night)

im just at work right now,,, so i'll check these things tomorrow

thanks

Yeah... not enough info to even guess what's wrong.

You turned the key and it didn't start, but yo didn't do the basic checks.

Get on it boiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

91_civicsi

i will but im at work

to check for spark u just take like a screwdriver and shove it in the plug wire right? and ground it to the block?

91_civicsi

bump, anyone else?
