I have a 98 civic Dx engine that was back firing like crazy. I took it to a mechanic and they told me that it was the TPS sensor. So I bought a TB and put it on the civic and now it won't even start. When you turn the key I can hear the fuel pump start running but it doesn't turn over. Please help!!

 

maybe crankshaft position sensor?

 

what the expletive does a tps have to do with a throttle body. get a new tps. throttle position sensor.

but its probly not that anyways. its probly your distributor

yep. mine did the same thing. when i changed gear to 2nd it would sound like a friggin shotgun. your timing is off.

 

tell your machanic he should find another profession

 

hold on, do yo mean it wont crank/run, or do you mean the motor wont turn over??? like nothing when you hit the key???

I put a new distributor on it and got the timming done too. When I turn the key the engine won't turn over at all. thanks for all the help.

 

i had the same problem for me it turned out to be the internal coil. check that.
