i just put a D-16Y7 swap on my crx but it doesnt want to start and i dont know what the reason may be plz help me..
it cranks but it doesnt start, and the ECU is giving me code 10 .. a friend of mine told me that draining my gas out might work since it was sitting there for about a year and 4 months. so if anyone has any questions and suggestions to make plz do it ... ill have pictures of the swap up as soon as i could get my hands on a camera

 

y7 huh....

what did you do about wiring and OBD and whatnot?

 

i added a OBD0 intake manifold i also got a cable transmission stock Si engine wire harness and the the distributor is OBD0 . i dont know what could be wrong

 

did you change to obd0 injectors also along with the IM?

code 10 is IAT....is that plugged in on your manifold? i believe that you can plug that one into another sensor that is within reach so double check you've got the right plug in the right place

 

check out distributor and the distributor module...had the same problem and when I replaced it it started right up. good luck

 

i took the distributor to get checked and they told me it was still good. but the weird thing is that when i checked for spark like 1 out of 5 times i would get a spark ...

 

but is code 10 whats keeping my car from starting?. or should the car be able to fire up fine with the ecu still giving me a code 10?

 

Do you hear your fuel pump prime when u turn the key? If not its probally your mani relay. This controls the efi system power. If its broke the ecu will still light up a code.

BTW I dont wish my crx was like your

 

ya the fuel pump is still good i hear it go on everytime i turm the ignition....

 

well if ur saying that ur distributor is a know good distributor and ur gettin 1 outta 5 sparks..ahve u checked for reistance on ur spark plug wires? Or what about timing have u checked to see that all the TDC marks line up?
