how long did it take for the intitial start up? im asking because my h22a doesnt wanna start up in my cx. i hear this weak whirling noise that gets weaker when i try to crank it more, and thats about it, everything is plugged up except the EGR and O2. i dont have a clue on whats the problem, my dad told me that dont crank it so much cause it sounds weak and could possibly damage the starter. im guessing that its just a old motor thats been sitting and needs alotta cranking. how long did it take for your new motor to crank? anyone have an idea to fix my problem?

its a obdI h22a4 motor, in a 94 cx hb. i have a strong feeling its the distributor(ignitor), because the battery was fully recharged the nite before and yes the lights did dim on the dash and all that. when i crank the care, useually i could hear the car crank a number of times, but now its just a weak whirl that just dies. BTW i dont know the plug wires order on to the dizzy, is it the same as a gsr motor?

I just finished 2 days ago... I fired it up after a 3-4 second crank. I kissed the car, that is never that easy..

started on the second try... I never hooked up the starter signal wire the first time.
