got fuel? fire order?

 

yup did that. firing order is fine and i have a full tank!

 

no, fuel into the chamber

 

disconnect your dist plugs and try and start the car, then pull each spark plug and smell for fuel

 

maybe your accesory cable is not having 12 V ?

you need to make sure your injectors are pulsing.

what info did you use for your mpfi, did you use obd1 injectors, and did you remove your resistor box?

i sniffed the spugs already when i turned over the crank to set to TDC. the injectors are shooting fuel so it's not that and i have an inline spark tester so i know it's not a problem with spark.

Thanks for all the replys. still trying to get it started

 

theres only so much it could be

spark? also is it firing in the right order

fuel? also is it firing in the right order

timing? double check your timing by setting the cam and crank and see if its aligned then pull the dist cap and see if the rotor is pointing to number 1 wire

compression, do a compression check

 

thanks for all the ideas...i'm going to do another check of everything tomorrow! i'll let you know what happens!

 

One of the ecu pins was loose...b17 i think (igniter)...i puched it in and now the car is starting and staying on for one second then it dies...?

 

codes?

 

only 10?

someone told me that it intake tempature?

 

iat should be a red/yel and green/wht wire, make sure you didnt swap it with the eacv... should start either way, but still

 

Im going to be doing this soon, im in for the info.

 

here are some links to help....

still won't start. i'm taking a day off from the project maybe i'll be refreshed enough to find the problem on sunday.

 

alright i couldn't stay away from the car...i re-wired all the fuel injectors and the dizzy...finally wired my vtec...still won't start....i don't have the 4-wire oxygen sensor hooked up yet...could that be a problem?

 

Not that I think you are an idiot but you did use an OBD1 distributor right? Just checking because I have come across some people who have that before not knowing that they are different from OBD0 to OBD1...

thanks for that link i'm going to check out my pins tomorrow even though i think they're all right. i made my own OBD-0 to OBD-1 conversion harness so i was kind of iffy about my work but i've gone over the pins about 10 times but i'll double check.

 

i have the a mechanic friend of mine coming over to have a look at what i've done. i hope he finds the problem! *crossing my fingers*
