i have a 92 civic hb and i swapped in a b16a2 and the engine wont turno over and doesnt sound like it wants to but i have power in the car and the fuel pump does turn on and i check the grounds and there is power going to them what can it be??

 

do a compression test and come back with more info

 

you need 4 things to start an engine.
1. Fuel
2. Spark
3. Timing
4. Compression
Make sure you have all of these.

Double check timing. You're saying it cranks but won't start correct?

 

no sorry it wont even turn over no crank but i have power in the car

 

start with starter or battery. Just because the car has power does not mean the battery has enough power to turn the starter.

 

i dont know what to do anymore with the car

 

Probably the starter... Is it even getting 12V? Stick a voltmeter on the starter wire at the starter. Check if it gets 12V with key in start position. Check all of your fuses again. You'd be surprised...

 

check your starter.

 

Give it to me.

Hit the starter a few times with a hammer and try starting it again.

 

have you tried jumping it off another car? if that doesn't work, put a multimeter on the starter. maybe the car doesn't see the clutch pedal as being down when you start it.
