I have spark, and i have fuel to the rail. The car wont start. Havent really troubleshooted it to much, i just figured I would start by posting on here. As of right now im thinking injectors or something along those lines. What effect does splicing the resistor pack wires with butt connectors have. I know that there is a certain resistance that must be maintained, but how would this effect it from starting? Any thoughts. By the way this is a 92 Si prelude motor in my 93 Vtec Prelude. I am using the engine harness for the si, and the ecu for the si. Any thoughts?

 

With the ignition on, you should have 12 volts at the injectors (the ECU completes the path to ground for each injector at the right time). The resistors just limit the current to the injectors. That's necessary because of their design (you won't get more hp by bypassing them). Check your wiring for bad (open) connections.

 

Injectors are firing and working properly. Car still wont start. what is the deal?

 

ignition timing? cam timing? got the firing order all correct and in the right places on the distributor?

 

this is all correct.

 

Is the cam/distributor turning? (Timing belt)

 

do you have cylinder pressure?
how is your timing?

 

check distributor
check cam/ignition timing
pull fuel rail out with injectors and turn key to see if injectors spray
check firing order
do a compression test
perform a valve adjustment
make sure you are @ TDC
make sure you are not 180 degrees out of time (usually occurs when installing dist. incorrectly)
jump ecu
