hello everyone. Hopefully someone can point me or guide me in the right direction.

I have a 91 Honda CRX Si which I just swapped a SOHC ZC.

Some history:
Purchased the car a year ago not running. After diagonsing the stock D16A6 turns out not enough compression. So the car sat for a year until now that I've decided to get it on the road. Anyhow there's a JDM importer near my house so I passed by and since I was looking to replace the motor. For now cheap just to get the car rolling. Anyhow purchased a long block no accessories. Pulled out the D16A6 swaped everything into the ZC and installed.

What's currently occuring:
The engine cranks over, but doesn't start. The fuel pump was replaced over the summer as that was part of one of the problems. I can hear whine up during the initial turn of the key. The main relay which is known to good bad on the car has I had swapped out into my old hatch and the car started no problem (the hatch). So I said hell let me go purchase a new ignition coil. The car's getting fuel and I've verified spark at the rotor cap, but for some reason she still doesn't want to fire up. All grounds are connected. New wires, new plugs, new rotor, new cap. The motor's been put back into timing. The only thing I haven't done yet is putting the motor at TDC and installing the dizzy with the motor being at TDC.

Anyone have anything else to suggest for me to try and do?

Your advice is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

 

the dizzy is only going to go on one way so moving it to tdc shouldnt change anything. how good are your grounds?

 

What do you mean by how good. They're all connected. No, corrosion.

 

Saturday bump with update

For anyone reading. I changed the rotor because it was the only thing I had not changed and confirmed that I am getting spark.

Seems like I'm not getting fuel. Fuel pump does prime, what can check or test?

 

Have u put a fuel pressure gauge on that thing to check pressure? I know u said u changed the pump, but u still got lines, filter and injectors before it gets to the combustion chamber.

 

Hey Lightweight, fuel pressure was coming through.

Saturday, night I finally got it started. Apparently this car sat for so long that there had been some corrosion built up on the injector connectors. Cleaned those up and tapped the injectors and they started firing. Needless to say the car's running finally. So now I just have to finish up on the rest to get it driveable. Not long, long ways to go, but I definitely have a bunch of things to do.

 

it may be cause the engine just hasnt been run in a while,
i swaped in a ZC and it took me like 30 minutes to get it start after everything was wired right.
i had to get some of that "easy start" stuff from the auto parts store and spray it into the intake manifold, and it still took a few minutes.
try that, it may help

 

Yeah the injectors were apparently frozen solid.

The injector connectors were dirty and then after cleaning the car fired up.

Need a valve adjustment, but that's about it. Just need it running until I'm ready for the B-swap.
