Here's the deal. I have a 90 civic htbk. The past month or so now its been giving me problems on cranking.... the starter turns the motor but doesn't fire up. I have spark on both the wires and plugs. It will take atleast 3 minutes to start. While trying to crank it will pump out sometimes "Smoke" from the intake filter. Don't know what is going on and all. Please take of me

Also what all fits for the REAR DISC BRAKE CONVERSION? what cars and such. Thank you

 

what do yu mean by smoke from the "intake filter". do you mean your air filter? is smoke coming out of your air intake? that's fucked up. i don't know about the smoke but i would say fuel pump. what does everyone else think?

 

As for the rear disc conversion.

I've read from past post that the 94-01 Integ rear disk would fit.
I'm not 100% sure tho... that's what I read.

 

yes SMOKE, color appears to be white"ish" hard time canking but when cranked idles good. When I drive it and just cruise at a recommended speed it'll go in and out from smooth running conditions. kinda sounds like this is you said this to yourself...... rummmmmmmmm burrrrr rummmmmmm burrrrr

 

sounds like u may have a blown head gasket or a jumped timing belt, when the car is running does it smoke at all out of the exhaust or smell?

next for me would be to test the battery, and check for fuel pressure and how much when idle

smells like fuel out the back.... doesn't seem like a blown head gasket.... but i do plan on getting a complete gasket set in a matter of weeks. i just bought a fuel filter.... maybe that will work..... dont' know..... i'm just a lost of words for now and i can rebuild these motors all day long..... brain farted and didn't stop...... battery is good and new... Optima yellow top and alt is new as well

 

ok smells like gas out the back BUT does it smoke and if so what color???

if u are runnign excessivly rich again this could be due to timing problems

Dave

 

i'll have to see what smoke come out the back..... it doesn't smoke at all when i drive it(at OT) that is all i know as of right now

 

it is just a steamed up type of smoke...... nothing abnormal.... cold weather here..... just smells like fuel and exhaust don't know what else..... I bought all new ****..... fuel pump, fuel filter and did an injection clean..... still doing the same thing. i'm lost right besides buying a new motor.

 

Is the Fuel pump priming? It buzzes for a few seconds , then stops. As for the noise , do you mean the idle? If it's a jumpy idle , up to 1500rpm down to 750rpm and back up again , it could be the "Throttle Position Sensor". Is this a "Duel Point Injection" , or Multi-point"?

 

White smoke coming out of the intake usually means that your our intake valves are open at the wrong time..It is caused by bad timing or bent vavles..Was somebody playing with the timing belt or what..?

I know %100 that 90-91 crx si rear discs and 90-93 integra discs fit..Not completely sure about others..

 

how do i manually adjust the timing? it is a B16a(JDM)

 

who ever just IMed me IM me under AIM at D2P96Escort

Get a timing light and see what it's at first before you mess with it..The timing should be 15 +/- 2 degrees before tdc..Also, look at the cam gears and make sure the arrows are pointing at each other..

 

how do i work one?

 

Hook up the postive and negative cables to the battery then hook the hook clamp on #1 spark plug wire..Then point the light to the driver side of the engine at the crank pulley and you'll will see the marks..

 

do this while it is running? what should the numbers read? what is the correct number?

 

you said that 90-93 integra rear disc brakes will fit on a crx is that the same for the front discs as well??

Yeah while its running and warmed up all ready..There are 3 red marks and 1 white mark on the pulley..The white one is tdc(Dont use this in this case)..
There is also a pointer on the timing belt cover(It kinda looks like a V)..What you want to do is line up the pointer on the timing belt cover with the middle red mark on the crank pulley..That is stock timing..To advance or retard use the distributor..Also you'll have to find the timing adjustment plug..Since you have a 90 it should be under the passenger side of the dash..You have to jump the the brown and green/white wires..If you dont jump the ecu, it will correct itself when you move the distributor....This is for ignition timing by the way..But with the way your is with the smoke coming out of the intake I think its cam timing..
