Major help needed, Car won't start
I have a 1990 Integra Hybrid with a 1995 Jspec B16A.
Whenever I try to start my car it just cranks and cranks and cranks. At first my father thought it was the fuel tank, but after troubleshooting a little we saw there was fuel pressure and fuel getting to AT LEAST the little full thing in the engine bay(not sure exact name) as when we loosened the bolts gas came out.. I checked all my fuses they all seem good( The ones under the steering wheel and the one set in the engine bay)
Is there possibly another fuse we are missing? Or any other suggestions? Things I could do to come up with the solution.. I'm in a wicked rush as first day of tech school for me early monday morning, didn't expect my car to die on holloween =\
Any help is GREATLY appriciated.

Re: Major help needed, Car won't start (dhvyse)
Ok, ive narrowed it down to spark. Have no spark.. the cap over the coil has a little metal thing on a spring on the top inside that goes into a small hole.. Is there any way to test if its the coil or the cap?

Could be a few things, the coil, the ignitor, or the ecu. What ecu are you using to run the motor? If you can, try replacing the coil and/or the ignitor with known good ones and see if that remedies the no-start problem. You can test the cap and coil by putting a screwdriver into the sparkplug end of the plug wire and hold the screwdriver close to a ground. If when you try to start the engine and you see a spark jump from the screwdriver to the ground, you know you have a working coil and cap, as well as spark to the sparkplugs.

Hey everyone.
I have a 1990 Acura Integra Hybrid with a 1995 SI JDM Engine (B16A1).
My ECU was recently stolen and I was wondering if this ECU would fit/be fitting for my car.

I just need to get back on the road =\

It all depends on how the car is wired. If you had the wiring harness in the car converted to run an OBD1 ecu, then yes that ecu will work for you.
