d16z6 in a 90 civic hatch converted obd1


I try starting my car rite after i dropped it in...everything pluged in rite....and when i start it i hear a noise that sounds like air escaping or moving or sumthing but it wont crank, my tach goes up and down and i hear like a hissing noise

I think my starter is bad but do you guys have any other suggestions?

when i first started it it cranked a lil bit but wont start and then we tried a couple times and i think my engine froze so we manually turned the crank to un freeze it and now its making that weird noise and wont crank at all.

if the starter is continuously trying to turn the motor while you hold the key to start, the starter is good. I would have the ECU checked or the main Relay. I had a similar problem on my brother's CRX.

How do i check the ECU and main relay? i checked all the fuses and there all fine, and as for the starter, it doesnt click or anything , i hear a hissing of air or something, and we took the starter out and put the positive and negitive battery on it and it doesnt even pop out, and we put a screw driver between it to see if it comes out, but all it does it spark, and after like the 5th time it came out a little bit but didnt move it was like stuck

checked starter....its working....now what?

 

The easiest way to see if the ECU is good is to put it in a car that has the same ECU that you know is good.

Where is the hissing noise coming from? I would try to track it down to a specific part.
