Default Dumb Question but...

Bad dizzy was to blame...got new one and car runs...boo yah first engine swap is complte...

I had to swap out my d16a1 from my 89 CRX and i am swapping in a d16a6...i finally got everything together and it wont start...Checked the firing order, all lines everything; but there is one sensor from my wiring harness, it looks like a 3 wire clip that is flat that doesnt connect to anything. Also I had to change the wiring on the dizzy to account for the cylinder sensor in the before Exhaust Cam. Also I had brake cleaner sprayed into the throttle body and it still wont help...any advice/tips thanks

Fuel cant tell but Brake cleaner would substitute even to make it attempt to turn, spark yes pulled #1 cylinder and checked it...the guy who sold it to me said it was a running motor.

so you have a dx? did you rewire it yourself? probably the wireing. if it is really a good motor. check for spark on all the cylinders.

Always check for three things:

Spark, Fuel, and Timing.

If you're getting Spark and Fuel, then your timing is off, and they're not happening when they're supposed to.

I believe it my have something too do with your dizzy bro. If you spray carb cleaner in the TB, and a no go, there's no spark. Like Tippyman said, you need those 3, so check your timing.

You also need compression, but I highly doubt that is your issue.

Yah probably the dizzy the wiring is done by myself kinda, because the jackass before me swapped in a d16a1 (old integra motor) and he wired it all funky...anyways the difference in dizzy is probably it...but i cannot get it to work i followed the other topic i posted for it...but no go. Thanks for the help, Im at work right now "HT all day" but when i go home ill mess with the dizzy wires...anything else
