ok i just put a dohc zcc in my car (89 crx hf) and it will not start it cranks but it will not start ive checked everything i can think of but it still persists

one question though when you check for spark my spark plugs only spark one time then thats it is taht normal?

 

check your distributor if you are getting any spark . are you throwing any codes? if anything try replacing your cap / rotor

 

replaced the rotor and cap today and im just getting one spark from my plug when i first turn the key then it doesnt spark anymore after that

 

remember the basic, COMPRESSION, FUEL, & SPARK

 

compressions good fuels good spark is the only thing im concerned about

 

what distributor did you use?

 

its a 88-89 integra distributor and the new cap, rotor, and ignition module are for a crx si

 

i didn't know that you could use that one...

anywho, check your connections at the dizzy plug. If you did this swap you had to remove pins from one side of the plug or the other.

who knows, maybe you have a loose connection or something..

good luck

 

ok update im getting codes 8 and 15

8's for TDC

and15's for ignition output signal

so does this basically mean i should get a new distributor?

 

what ecu are you using?

 

the PG7

 

my car was throwing a code 8 and i think it was a 14 i changed the wires, cap, rotor, dizzy, spark plugs and rotor and now more problem just the ting is my battery is too big and keeps knocking out my wires from my cap

 

you can not use the ignition module from a crx si. That is were your problem is right their. use the intrega module

x2

 

sorry i didnt notice that but the ignition module is from a 88-89 integra

just the cap and rotor are from the crx si

I used my entire dizzy from my Si hatch, including igniter, and everything worked fine.

 

do you have the HF engine harness on the ZC? if not, you will get code 15 because the igniter wire in the HF harness is in a different connector

 

no

how do i fix it

use the 89 HF harness - there are several wires in different locations in the HF connectors

He used the integra dizzy.

 

i kinda dont have the crx hf harness or i wouldve used it first so is their any way i can fix it without getting a new harness my car needs to run i get my license in two weeks

 

ok i checked out all of the wiring the only things i can see missing are

on the injector resistor box theres a white wire and a yellow wire missing
not on the green plug but the whittish one

and for some reason now my fuel pump isnt priming and im still not getting spark and my injectors arent spraying obviously

another thing is my ecu wont blink at all any more

but the motor still cranks

does this mean i need a new main relay

You may not be getting power to the injectors...

How are you checking for spark? Also, take off the dizzy cap, and get a friend to crank it. see if the rotor is spinning. If it is, your timing belt is intact.

Check the timing marks on the cam and crank pulley to see if your off time. Even if you have spark and fuel it won't matter if they aren't hapening at the right time.

Could be main relay if the fuel pump isn't priming...

 

ok this motor was just rebuilt

so belt is new i know its in perfect condition my timing should be perfect bot arrows on the cams are facing up and the lines are lined up

the rotor is spinning

it'll spark one time sometimes but none after while the motor is cranking

 

ok i have a new harness in the mail specifically for a 89 crx hf so once i get it that should fix my problem theoretically
