Hi Everyone. I need advice, help or whatever i can get. Here is my issue. I have a 1995 acura integra in which I put an H22a JDM 2.2 L DOCH VTEC Engine in it. It was running great until my problem occured.

I was driving home and the near the front end of the car, it started to like vibrate. I stopped the car, checked everyting out and everything seem to be in order. I started the car up again and the vibratation was gone. I drove down the road for bout 5 more minutes and then the car vibrated like crazy and then the car stalled out. I was able to bring the car to the side of the road. I tried to start the car and the car would not start. Seemed like the starter was turning in "butter". I verified the timing belt where the 2 cam gears are and they didn't move when i tired to start the car. I removed and tested the starter and the starter works perfectly.

So i towed the car to my garage, took the tranny off cause i thought the bolts on the flywheel topped off since the timing belt was not turning. But it turns out that there was nothing wrong with that. So i then turned the flywheel and examined the crank shaft in which i then noticed that the bolt holding the accessory crank pulley to run my alternator was missing. I was then able to pull off the crank pulley. I then noticed because of this, the pin in which goes onto the crank shaft and crank gear had come out. So when turning the flywheel, the shaft turns but does not turn the gear. I realigned the shaft and the gear, put the pin in and now the timing belt now moves.

But my car still does NOT start, motor just turns and turns........

I verified the timing and it is dead on. I verified the ignition and i have spark (it has a brand new distributor on btw). I verified the pistions and they move up and down freely when turning the flyweel. Also the cams will turn and the rockers will move when the cams move. I also have no engine codes. I verified the wiring and everything is fine. I have NO idea what to do. Does it has something to do with the Valves? Or is there anything else I can test or verify that I could determine why my car will not start?

Thanks, much appreciated.

 

probably got some bent valves. take off the head and see if any of the rocker arms are sitting lower then the others.

 

I see you mentioned that you verified spark but did you verify fuel?

 

f your crank was turning and your cams were not you bent valves.

 

That's what I was afraid of. I was hoping someone was not going to tell me that my valves may have gotten damaged because of this. I will take the block apart and check this out this. And also, yes I have gas in my car. I have half of tank of 91 octance fuel. My fuel pump does work, you can hear the pump when putting the key in the ignition and I also took off the fuel to make sure it actually does pump.
If anyone has any other suggestions, please post asap... thanks

 

You lost me after the second sentence.....Just because you lost the keyway to the crank pulley doesnt mean the car wont start......You can start the car without the accessory crank pulley on all day long it has nothing to do with the timing belt.

 

the key on an h22 holds the crank pulley, balance shaft belt sprocket AND the timing sprocket in place.

 

Exactly.
