Ok this is my first post so please be patient with me. Ok first off i have a 92 lude si. i did the h22a swap to it and everything was fine. car started up everything great. now about 4 months have passed since im in Chicago, the weather changes alot, so one day i was driving and had about 4 bars of gas left in the car said i will get gas when i go out. About 2 hours later, went out, car wont start. Figured maybe the car was really low in gas and it froze, so i went and got some gas and put it in. Nothin, after a few days i was geting mad, changed plugs, rotor, cap,wires, still nothin. Then a couple days go by and it warms up, car starts just fine. took it to a mechanic , car isnt throwing any codes nothin, now it has gotten cold again and the same thing has happend, any help would be appreciated. Thanks

 

Does the car turn over?

yea it cranks and sounds like it wants to start but cant get it to dont know if that makes sense

 

antifreeze? are all your crucial fluids full?

 

Gas Line Drier.

Put that in the tank and try to push the car into some place above freezing.

If you can't find gas line drier, use pure gain alcohol (aka Ethanol or ethly alcohol).

The water might just be freezing, and there are not enough additives to fix the problem.

 

might sound silly, but look at the motor grounds fromt the valve cover to the chasis

Ok so i have now checked all the fluids, they were full, i used a product called HEAT i guess its the same as Gas Line Drier, and pushed it into a heated garage, nothin, and i checked the grounds they are good, now the plot thickens..... I pushed it with some friends and poped the clutch and it started..... put it in the garage, let it run for about an hour no problems, turned it off, tried turning it back on, and it did. Went inside for the night, came out in the morning again same problem.

 

engine harness?

 

when your problem is happening check for injector pulse useing a logic probe if you have injector pulse you know your cam position sensor is good also check for spark if you have no spark then check out the coil in the distribyter i have found them bad before

 

Ok checked everything and just wanted to say thanks for the help and let everyone know what was wrong with it..... Distributor coil, ignitor, and distibutor seals. Took it to a friend of mines dad who works on Hondas (didnt know that) and he told me what to get and it works awesome again. Thanks again for the help
