...ok, well I decided not to go obd-1 anymore and converted everything back to obd-0 on my 91 Crx SI and 92 LS motor...Im having the same problems I had when I had the car set to obd-1...the car only starts every once in a while, and when it does it runs like crap...
I know its not the main relay, fuses, and injectors...so any other ideas would be helpful...thanks!

if i was you id check spark, timing, compression test, cylinder leakage test, fuel filter, fuel pump. and if all that is good then it shold be runnin fine. if not then make sure you hooked up all the elctronics right? not a big honda guru but jes my .02

I just checked my spark plugs and they were just about burnt black...I also noticed that they were wet, so I smelled it, and smelled like gas

Hey man......well, first I'd suggest you go the obd1 route.

Next, make sure you remove the resistor box, use the obd1 injectors as well as the obd1 injector plugs.

Once everything is hooked up you should check:

1. Timing
2. Spark
3. Gas

Make sure all your timing marks on the cams and the crank pulley are aligned where they should. Make sure you have spark and that it is a good spark, I know of times when you have some sort of spark but the coil in the dist is somewhat bad and the spark is not strong enough to cause combustion of the gas. Make sure your firing order is correct 1-3-4-2 (or at least that's the order on d series engines). This is VERY important, with a different firing order your car may turn on but it WILL run like crap.
Last but not least, check gas. Seems like you're ok in this department since you took your plugs out and they were sort of flooded. Make sure you replace the plugs.


My guess is that you have a timing issue or a firing order issue, but I don't know the story of what you did and how you did the obd1 conversion.

hope this helps, feel free to im me if you need help.
