Swop completed, but only one cyclinder fires(#2). What could be the problem?

 

check to see if the other cyl are getting spark and fuel.

 

I'm new to all this. How do I check for spark. I'm pretty sure there getting fuel.

 

Make sure the plug wires are in the right firing order. It should look like this:



To check if they are getting spark, unplug the wire where it meets the distributor cap. Hold the wire near the terminal and see it a spark jumps from the terminal to the wire when someone cranks it for you. If it does, your obviously getting spark. Check it in all four wires.

To check for fuel, crank it a few times, and take the plug wires off the valve cover. Then pull out the spark plugs and see if there is gas on them! They should smell like gas...

 

thanks for the info. Want to clarify that this is a D15b VTEC. Does that make a differance in the firing order?

 

for the spark test.. you could just remove the plug wires and hook up a spark plug tester to the spark plug, crank the engine and if you see a spark, walla it sparks. but the way mentioned above is probably cheaper.

 

Firing order is correct. Have spark at the distributor. Looks like only fuel in two cylinders, #2 & # 3. What would be my next step?

 

Check the wiring to your injectors THOUROUGHLY. It may be that you wired them wrong. If your car was DPFI before the swap, this makes sense...
