What happens when you try to turn it over? Does it rotate or just sit there and click? Does it seem like it is trying to catch or not at all?

Do you have a kill switch? (I hate it when I get caught by that)

 

You have spark and fuel all thats left is timing. check your marks and see if you haven't jumped or broken a cam or something.

 

it turns over and ever now and then it will pop like it wants to start, timing is fine, i was just driving it last night

 

anyone else hav any ideas?

 

check all ur fuses... your fuel pump may be taking a crap on you too... other than this i would spray some starting fluid and see if that works. if that works then its probably ur fuel pump.

 

have you checked your spark plug wires for correct order?

Bam, that was my next question.

 

Believe it or not it may be do to your valve adjustment.

I thought I would do my own valve adjustment one day, car was working just fine before, than after I adjusted them, NADDA! It's amazing what a few hundred thousands of an inch will do.

Anyway, I got a professional Honda mechanic to readjust the valves. She started right up afterwards.

Good luck!

 

its the valves .. for sure... can't be anything else.. if its poppin back through the manifold.. its the ur adjustment.. nothing else will cause it to do what u say its doing.. juss reset all ur valves back to stock specs.. and that sucka should fire right up.. but make sure ya adjust the valves in the order they should be... and don;t forget the feeler gauge..
