I have 94 integra with h22a. I was driving down road nailed 3rd. and car died....thought I ran outa gas but put gas in and still won't start.fuel pump cutting on and getting fuel. Upfront could it b fouled plug ?

timing belt?

holmesnmanny

If you were racing it and didn't rev match you coulda destroyed your clutch.

timing belt.

whats the cel say?

willfly

Well it acts like it wants to start. And if timing belt broke wouldn't it turn over really fast when trying to start?

willfly

Its like it damn near starts but wont could it have jumped timing?

snobordboy

Could have, pull off the valve cover and line the crank up to tdc, see if the cams are still aligned correctly. I have had an engine set up with the manual tensioner somehow skip one cam 2-3 teeth off, and it wouldn't run to save it's life, but nothing was damaged.

Ok thanks be back later

My 94 ecu has no code light how do I check codes

98vtec

pull the valve cover off and check cam timing.

willfly

Ok I went to checkcell for code and realized no light there's a screw there instead opened cell and its a kb20 chip inside. Anybody know y its there and is there another way to check codes

98vtec

you would need a DTC scanner.

Mine did the same on a highway-> appeared the rotor in the distributor fell apart. Could be the coil also.

OK. My timing good getting fire n fuel but it keep fouling plugs and won't start. Any ideas of the problem? ??????

willfly

My mechanic said its getting fuel. And getting fire.timing is good but won't start.

Can you describe just exactly what you mean by "nailed third" ? Be as complete as possible on this.

willfly

Shifted close to redline when I hit 3rd it died

98vtec

it takes 4 things for an engine to run. Fuel, Timing, compression and fire.

you are missing one of those.

if you have spark and your injectors are firing (spraying fuel into the chamber) then you have bad cam timing or you have no compression..or both

And to reinforce Blakes last post, Check your timing....

holmesnmanny

You could have over-revved your engine. Do a compression test.

willfly

Gonna get timing checked again today. ...car fires but shuts back off. If I had no compression wouldnt it just keep turning and not fire? If it is compression how do I fix it? And I don't thinks I over revved I shifted round 6k car is too fast to b sitting gotta get it running again .

Apex1972

main fuel relay maybe? I know when mine was starting to go bad, it would start to run and then die again quickly. this would not give a CEL either i dont think.

holmesnmanny

Obviously I was just throwing out a guess. You could have just enough compression for it to almost catch but not actually run. Just get a $20 compression test kit, remove the ecu fuse from the engine fuse box and compression test it just to be sure.

Sure, you coulda just jumped a tooth or two too. You can verify that first before buying the compression kit.

willfly

Ok I worked on car yesterday my timing good tdc! I know its a guess but could it b ignition coil? Its getting fire to coil but its like its not getting enough fire im getting plenty of fuel almost to much...all my fuses are good . Maybe ecu has to b reset hell idk wtf it is but I know it not my timing cuz its set not fuel so wat else could it b ??????
