I have a 90 Honda Accord that had a Honda Prelude Si h22a4 engine that was almost blown. So, we put a regular factory Honda Accord engine it. When I put the key in the ignition and and crank it, it will crank but it won't start. I just put a new distributor on it. Does anyone have any idea on whats wrong. Please help!

 

so you did an engine swap from an H22A4 back to a stock F22Ax and now the car won't start? You've replaced the distributor, are you sure your getting spark? Are you sure your getting fuel? What else have you done to troubleshoot this? Have you double checked to make sure you didn't leave any plugs disconnected?

Also, since it was swapped before with an H22, what ECU are you using? And when the H22 swap was done, was any wires changed? (sorry, haven't done an H22 swap so I'm unsure of whats involved with it.) If anything was changed when the H22 was swapped in, have you reversed it all?

 

Hello hondagurl12006! Start with the basics! Check for a STRONG spark. If that is presant, Check your fuel pressure.(Needs to be at least 25 psi to start cold) Then go deeper. (Any check engine lights?)

 

Make sure you are using the correct ECU, and make sure the thermostat housing ground is connected. Give us some more information please.
