did a b16a swap into my 91 crx now it wont start. it satarted and ran after the install and would bog down when i got on it realized the regulator solenoid wasnt hooked up right so i fixed that and started it up fine but now it wont start. when you turn the key on the check engine light doesnt come on and the fuel pump does not prime no spark either. checked the fuses and they all seem fine the relay and distibutor both get power. i thought it might be the ecu so i tried another one and still the same thing. any ideas what it might be

 

check all of your grounds on the motor one of them might be loose it would cause the same thing to happen.

 

could be your main relay

 

i have tried a couple different main relays with no luck. where are the ground locations at i know there is one from the front support to the valve cover, the one from the battery negative to the tranny and the one i added with the vtec subharness to the thermostat housing

 

try replacing the ecu. i had the same problem and it was the ecu, didnt start didnt do nothing. then soon after it started blowing ecu fuses all the time.

dont listen to this guy. First thing first check if you get spark and fuel. Check the spark plugs or might as well get new ones because they are so cheap to get. Many people never remind themselves that spark plugs go out also but they do.

 

same problem and GOT me scared but i found out it was the main fuse, check your main fuse

 

hey i was just giving out suggestions, isnt that what the guy wanted?

 

Worked some more on it today checked for voltage at the fuel pump and got a reading of 6.12 volts is that low or normal... not sure of the specs does anyone know where the engine ground are a buddy at school said there ar two on the back of the engine block but i only see one

 

there are 3 grounds, valve cover, the tranny, and one from the harness that should be on the thermostat.

 

Maybe the promblem is not in the engine or in the fuel pump it could be a bad starter signal. is the starter good? what exactly is it doing when you try to start it. does it die when you turn the key an the voltage on the car is 12 volts. did you have this problem before the swap? you might have the ground loose check that first
