Ok I painted my valve cover today cleaned it up and put it back on...I started the car it started fine, and then it just turned off...The gas guage was low so I figured it was out of gas..I got about 4 gallons and put it in and no budge...Now when I crank you can feel the engine moving but nothing...Whats going on here????

 

did you unplug any sensors while doing this?did you put the plug wires back on correctly after installing the valve cover?any codes?
Chris

 

Nope so sensors disconnected or nothing...and yes the plug are in right. But I dont get it why would it start then all of a sudden turn off???

 

i'd say it's unrelated to your valve cover paint job,since the only thing you mess with would have been the plug wires.
have you figured out yet if it's spark or fuel you're missing?
Chris

 

did u put the ground back on it

 

Yea I put the ground back...Imma continue tommorow first thing when I get out of school..

 

New gaskets? Sealed back on correctly? Vacuum lines connected? thats pretty much everthing they haven't covered yet. Sry man hope you get it working.

 

Yea I just got the gasket about a week ago and drove the car a mile or two so i just re sealed it....There is only one vacumm right? the one from the top left hand corner??

 

that wont make you car not start all that dose is get a little bit of oil in to the intake manifold

 

is it a dohc? cuz you have to use hondabond to seal it but i have heard of people having problems running out of gas and not being able to start the car after i will ask them how they did get it to run tho

 

No its a d15.....A 93 sol...any other recommendations?

 

Hmmmm.

 

Ill bet you anything its the battery.

If not, check the firing order.

 

Give the battery a check if thats not it check the fuses.

 

when you say the engine is moving do you mean turning over or shifting on the mounts?

 

double check your firing order, and battery.

 

Ok I checked the wires and everything and they are fine...I also went ahead and changed the plugs since it had platinum 4's in it...Still no juice the wires arent getting spark...What now...???

 

So you checked the battery.

 

Ok checked everything and Im getting no spark....The next thing is that the ignition coil is out....

 

do u mean that it is not there, or not screwed in .try to put the dizzy together. cross your fingers and hope ur dizzy isnt messed up.

Check your ignition coil. It's probably the culprit.

One other thing, sometimes when you coat a metal with paint, it doesn't ground properly. That MIGHT be the case.

 

Well got the daim thing started...Turns out it was the coil. Thanks for the help guys.
