Hi, sorry if this is a stupit question I am new to all this......


Is there any way to start an engine outside from the car ?

there are selling me an engine for 100 bucks, a d16y7 with tranny and everything,, (a friend that works on a junkjard)........ He told me that he doesnt know if the engine works because, the engine was on the junkjard before he started working...

what comes in my mind is to plug the ecu and put a 12v battery in the starter, and start the car ? LOL

 

or is there any way I can tell if it will work ?

I can take the head off and see the condition of everything.......

 

you wouls still need fuel ecu

 

oh yeah, lol now it comes in my mind that cant be done

 

Well lets think about it..A bucket full of gas with a inline electronic pump,,and a battery should start it up..You dont need an ecu to start the motor up..If you dont believe me then go outside to your car right now unplug the ecu and see if it starts..It will,,its not gonna run right but you're only doing this just to start it..

Edit : forgot about spark..I guess youll have to rig something up

Wow, you have a lot to learn. How are you going to get the fuel injectors to open, spark to work ect, you need a ecu which means you would need a dash harness!

you can easily do a comp test with the engine out by hooking a battery to the starter

You can start a car up without the ecu..Unplugg it and see for yourself..

what car?

 

My car for one.

 

like I know what yours is

 

91 CRX?

 

wont start with no ecu

 

That's funny. One time my car wouldn't start. Know what the problem was?

A blown ECU fuse.

 

Its seems like svoboy is the only one besides me that knows anything..One more time,,you <U>can</U> start a car up without the ecu.. ..The way I found out was I was at the mall and some ******** broke my window and stole my ecu..When the tow truck guy came he asked if it starts..I said no..He said try it..I tryed it and it started..Done..Now you cant drive it like that but the motor will start up..Or maybe I have some magical motor..

 

that wasn't you ecu it probably was you cd player , 99% of all cars wont run without a ecu period. Your ef is one of them.

What's the other 1%?

 

put the engine on an engine dyno thats hooked up to a fuel system and ECU.
there you go. You can start it without it being in a car.
