89 crx b16a1 obd1 motor the car would start then die any idea? i just finish droping the motor into the car help some1

 

u hear fual running through the lines?

 

yeah i have fuel and spark i just changed out the main relay...when i start the motor it would start then die and it would spit smoke out the intake manf.

 

do all the vaccum line need to be plug in and do you think it is the dizzy making it not run?

 

bump..

 

bump...

 

try a known good distibutor. obd0 dizzy's go all the time.

 

it is a obd1

 

smoke out the intake manifold huh? well, im going to guess that your timing is just a little fucked up. try getting that engine ticking right, then maybe check out things like your tps sensor, and such... are you sure that this motor ran originally, before you swapped it into you car?

 

i bought the motor from jazzmotorsport r something like that. see i think we spray too much starter fluided into the intake manifold...it sould like it wanna start up and all but it wont stay running.

 

throttle sensor maybe loose . . . try tight'ing it

 

i had this problem too... not the smoke think thats from the starter fluid. does the car have higher milage. theres a plastic piece behind the ignition that actually will turn the car on. on my rex the plastic was worn and wouldnt stay in the on postion. it would crank turn on and then when i let go of the key it would kill or it would run for a little bit and then kill when the vibrations moved the key just the slightest bit. then it just woudlnt stay on at all. its a long shot but if everything else (fuel, spark, and sensors are good then i would look into this. how to check is crank it, when its on then just let the key go of the key but make sure it stays in the on postion.............. long shot but hey worth a try.

 

its not that it sound like i wanna start it would run for about 1 min r so then die what is the deal....

 

is the map sensor good??

I mean connected....

 

yes it is connected...some1 should had the same problem as me i need help r idea

 

check timing at the cam gears, make sure its all lined up correctly....if you know how?
