Just before the sun went down, I went to pull out my integra to take the MR2 out for a drive. The integra wouldn't start. The gas was pretty low, so I grabbed a gas tank and bought 2 gallons of premium, and dumped it in the teg.


I figured this would fix the problem, but it didn't. I checked all the fuses, and everything checks out. This is all I can do right now because it's already dark and it's ******* cold outside.


I thought maybe the engine was flooded so I held the gas pedal down for a few seconds before trying to start the car again. I'm going to stop by the Honda dealership tomorrow and maybe pickup a new fuel filter. It's about time to change it so it won't hurt.

Any other advise? I'll check for fuel and spark as well. Guess I'll just go from there.

I think the teg is jealous that I've been buying parts for my SR20.

Fixed

So ur battery is fully charged? If u havent tried yet, i would try a boost from another car, and see what u get. Other than that, maybe the starter seized..IDK

 

does it crank at all? or makes clicking sounds?

 

check the ignitor and coil.

 

Well my *** just got up from a late friday night. I left a charger on the car overnight because I ran the battery low last night.

The starter sounds fine.

Slain, your probably right. It's either that, or the engine is flooded and I wasn't patient enough.

 

check for spark and fuel .. keep us updated on the car.

 

Well, I finally got around to checking what is wrong with the GSR. I've had other cars to drive, so I wasn't in a big hurry. I changed the spark plugs for some NGK coppers, and she fired right up.

I had about 75k on the OEM plugs and apparently it wasn't enough spark to start the car.

Just wanted to update this thread incase anyone searched for it, since most threads don't have an ending.
