sawpped a b16a2 on my ek a few weeks ago had problems adn found out it was a dizzy wiring problem so i slapped in a newer diz and car started fine... wired averything and then got a code 9 .. searched most came up saying to replace the dizzy so i did, then the car wouldn't start...it was weird now i put in the the original dizzy and the car still won't start wtf!! an ideas? all we hear is blump buh blump buh blump, we got a back fire once(scary, when your right beside the damn car)
but then that was it now it's blump buh blump buh blump

another weird thing is that i get spark and fuel and nothing... since then ... blump buh blump is all i get,...someone please help

ps. the only code i get now is a code 10

97 ek w/ b16a2

 

sounds like the timing is off.

 

hmm how can that be when all i did was swap dizzy's? if it is timign how do i fix it?
thanks

 

Check to make sure you have the plug wires running to the right place. Also make sure you didn't lose that little spring from the coil that leads to the cap (if you had the cap off.) That could arc and cause it to backfire every now and then if it's missing...

 

plug wires are int he right spot spring is in the coil
all the car does when i try to start it is turn and get buh blump

 

Is the air intake temp.. Hooked up, try checking the termastat housing bolt see if its tight. 'Cause when my car didn't start I forgot to tighten the housong. Or if u got a friend that has a P28 that u could use and try starting it with that... If its chipped then that would be nice....

 

yea i got an extra p28 on hand..

we're gonna ry and adjsu the timing tomorrow, i might have moved it when i put the dizzy back on

 

!56k you've been warned!

ok i've got some audio/video/pics as to what the car is doing/not doing
http://66.159.204.234/car/


also we did a compression test and were' not gettin much 30psi@)($*@ wtf!
a friend suggested bent valves? broken piston ring, cracked piston?
but how can this be when the car started fine, and all i did was swap dizzy's? are any of these possible?

Ah, when I read what you got from that compression test, the first thing I think of is your timing belt jumping a couple of teeth. I know you just replaced the dizzy, but it is driven directly by the intake cam on your b16. Your intake valves could be closing late on the compression stroke. I think you should pop off your valve cover, line it up TDC and check the timing marks on your cam gears to make sure your timing is not off.

When me and my friends rebuilt my friend's Tacoma, he had the timing way
off when we put it back together and tried to start it. He ended up blowing
the head gasket. Hopefully that is not the case here.

Never even thought of that... check valve timing still just in case.

 

the shop i bought the motor from is sending one of their tech guys to look at it so hopefully they can fix it
i'll take a look at the timing too

thanks
