I have a 1989 crx si with a 97 h22 swapped in. I am having trouble starting the car. I have spark and fuel but it won't start. It keeps turning over but it just won't start. Does anyone have any ideas?

If you guys need me to give you any extra info, just ask.

Any info anyone needs to know just ask and I will tell you. I can even take pics of anything you guys want. I am just trying to get this thing to fire up.

I am running a obd1 p13 ecu. The car was converted from obd0 to obd1.

what about the injectors and distributor, is it obd2, obd1 or obdo?

The injectors are obd1 prelude injectors but I did not hook up any resistor box yet.
Not sure but i think the distributor is obd1 because it plugs right in to the harness.

 

you need to hook up the resistor box...

was the car every running with the h22?

I know i need to hook it up but you can still drive a car with no resistor box. At least that's what i heard. Its just that if you do it for long enough the injectors will burn out.

Yes, I had the motor running when it was still in the prelude before I took it out.

 

I think you may need that resistor box......

 

Yes, I looked into it. The car will not run or start Unless you change the wiring and install high impedance injectors.

 

where you in FL?

You mean hook up the resistor box? or will the car not run at all with the obd1 injectors? So you are saying I have to put back the injectors that were originally on the engine which are the obd2 injectors?

jacksonville Florida

 

add a resistor box and run the obd1 injectors. its not difficult at all.
Resistor Box Wiring
I tried starting mine without the box too, and I couldn't get mine to work. After installing the box, it fired right up.

 

I wired up the resistor box today and it fired right up!!! Thanks for your help everybody.

 

Be sure to tell us how it feels with the new motor!
