Hi, i am looking for help with my car problem. I recently did a top end rebuild and when i put the head back on and got everything reconnected it would not start. i am getting spark and everything lines up, it just wont start. I was thinking it might be the fuel lines, but i am definately getting fuel up to until the fuel filter. Im not sure if i am getting it past that, and i also am not sure on how i would check that. i tryed searching this topic for some other time this might have come up and i found nothing, so any help would be really great. thx a ton for your time.

 

do you have fuel in your car? timiing is on the mark? how about igntion timing?

 

ha yes i have fuel in the car, engine and ignition timing is also good.

 

The engine is turning? How are your spark plugs?

 

they are good.

 

if its an Si model, take the line going to the fuel rail and start cranking the car. See if gas comes out, if there is gas coming out, then have your injectors cleaned. After your injectors are cleaned, or new, or whatever, and it still dont start, then I dont know. I would say iots your firing order but you swear its right. Get a hotter plug and try that. Maybe your flooding the engine or something. hope it helps. Change the fuel lines with new ones.

 

gapped correctly and are clean?

okay well spark is good, timing is good, fuel is unsure? haha the one thing I am unsure on how to check. try to crank it then unbolt it at the fuel rail and see if any comes out?

 

im gonna go do that. if i am getting fuel to the fuel up to the filter, and spark and everything is lining up then the only problem i should be having is with the rail or the line from the filter to the rail.

i have one other small thing to add. one of my brothers buddies decided it would be funny to pour some oil out of the head into my cylinder #1. would that cause any problems? ive been told no, but i have been looking for a reason to give that friend of his a wrench to the face for some time now.

 

I guess it depends how much. I guess you could have hydro locked that one cylinder. did you give it time to let it settle? take out the spark plug and make sure oil isn't all over it.

Kick his FN A$$. Take your head off to be sure and clean that crap out. Make him eat the oil too. I've heard of people dumping tranny fluid in their cylinders to clean the carbon out.

 

hit my limit. thx for the help ill try and post later. i am getting fuel up to the rail. thx for the help.

Nah man did you crankit when the oil was in it? And how much oil was in it?

If no and little then you are okay

people do this to check piston rings when doing a compression test. They only use a very small amount though.

 

man, take him to judge judy. Just clean all that oil out with a pape towel, but I dont see why the other three cylinders arent firing, check the fuel rail pressure. were gettin off subject here

not really if he tried cranking it with a lot of oil in the cylinder that could have done some damage.

 

i guess i have no right to say anything on that one. I've never experienced hydro lock. well, how do you fix that. I would say to take off the head, and put a break bar onto the lower crank pully and see if that number one piston is locked up ehh. Maybe he lied and put oil in all 4.

haha sorry that last part was funny as hell

HOW MUCH OIL WAS PUT IN THE CYLINDER? DID YOU CRANK THE MOTOR WITH THE OIL IN IT?
