B18a1 block, JDM b16 head..

was on another car and change over to my crx? started on the other car and ran strong, but when it was put into my crx it cranks but won't start at all? has anyone ever encounter this problem.. ANY help would be GREATLY aprreciated!

 

check your grounds go double check the wiring and all the other connections put gas in the car lol j/p check to see if your throwing any codes check everything u can

 

check as much as i can? GROUND AS MUCH AS I CAN!...but for some wierd reason even when i took my key off the ignition the lights in the dash is still on? does this mean i have wiring problems..!

 

check to make sure the dizzy cap is on nice and tight and the coils are in good condition.


did you put spark plugs in?

 

of course why not? but everything is tight?

 

would timing solve anything

I doubt it..You said it ran perfect in the other car..

Check to see that you're getting fuel and spark.

 

when you turn to ignition, can you hear the fuel pump kick on?

 

guy, you said the dash lights stay on when you remove the key from the ignition? I guessing that your crx is not an si/hf is that correct? and you did a dual point-to-multi point conversion? like the other guy said listen for the fuel pump and/or leave the ignition in the on position and crack the bolt on the fuel filter line that goes from the filter to the fuel rail. I had this problem when i put and ls/vtec in my 91 civic std. most likely you are not getting fuel and you need to troubleshoot the wiring first before you even think about trying to start the engine.

 

my crx is an si......we checked for spark we put in new spark plugs..........it will crank but the starter chokes when trying to turn the engine.....then a whole bunch of fuel would get dumped out through the header manifold, this i know there is fuel and still it won't start

sounds like a ground issue

 

ECU is throwing no codes..seems like main power to ECU isn't working? had a buddy checked it out and he says electrical problems?

 

check the grounds on the thermostat housing i think that grounds the ECU

 

it has to do with something in the electric system

if it ran then it has to do with wiring

injectors and main relay
could be a start

 

i agree with ef2
check your main relay
make sure you are grounded on the trans, thermo housing, and valve cover

 

EXCELLENt..Thanks for everyones help? IT RUNS!

 

what was it
