Sorry guys but i searched and it seemed like there was no problems like mine. Heres the deal, I have a B18B1 and i just got my car running because my coolant wasn't circulating but now it is. When it wasn't circulating i changed the thermostat, took off the water pump but it was fine and i put it back. I got my car to not over heat anymore but it ran for a bit but now it won't start no more. I got it sitting and idoling for like 20 mins. When i took it out of the shop and i put it in gear 1 and it drove for like 2 yards then it stalled. I tried cranking it but it wouldn't start. I waited for a bit and gave it a little bit of gas and it fires up. I went around the parking lot as i took off i got it into 2nd gear but right when i did the car stalled again. After all this the car only cranks but it wouldn't fire up no more. When I crank it the Speed tach goes up and down like crazy. I am running a CEL but its only for my crank angle sensor. This is what i still need to replace to get it running right but i can't seem to know why it won't start no more. I still need to replace the Dizzy, I am guessing the tach jumps is because my VSS and do you think its my timing belt? Have you ever ran into a problem like this or do you know whats wrong? Answers will be apprciated.

 

Sorry if it looks alot. I just want to solve this problem. I was thinking about selling my car because eversince i got it, its like bad luck something has to go wrong somewhere.

take the cap off the dizzy and see if the spark is arking and if the cap has a crack in it if so then just replace the cap insted of buying a whole new dizzy this happend do my dads 1991 honda crx b16 it was an easy fix 4 us hopefully its the same for u gl

I just replaced my dizzy not long ago either. I'm thinking about doing a Lsv on it. So i'm thinking i wouldn't need a new dizzy.

ya, i hacked my way through it. I thought I had a dizzy problem, then i thought it was a fuel problem, then i went back to the dizzy. My friend and i checked to see if i was getting spark. i had the problem like you, its starts, then dies out, then wont restart immediately, then after a bit it starts right up. really effing. the parts when it wouldnt start, i had no spark. ruled out the fuel at that too. play it cool.

 

Does anyone thinks its my timing belt? I checked it but its still on. Ealier before it died it was working fine or do you just think its my dizzy?

 

find out if theirs sumthing wrong with the dizzy first and if theirs not then it could be something else ............ mabey the timeing belt im not to sure

Crank Angle Sensor CEL, only way to fix that is to replace the Dizzy. That will make your car run like **** if it decides to.

I'd say slap on anothe dizzy and see if it works, if it doesnt, find me around town, I'll help ya out.

I bought a new dizzy and it will be here hopefully with my uncle from Milwaukee this Friday otherwise my car will pretty much would have been sitting for 3 weeks. I miss driving it i don't have anyother car so i drive my mom's 06 Camry. Boo whoo i can't do anything with it since its too new. I don't want to break it. If i need anything i will let you know and maybe you could give me a hand or two.

 

Replaced the dizzy but still does not start. It cranks but it don't start. It hasn't been touch for atleast 2 weeks so do you think i just need to crank it for a while or theres something really wrong with it? I'm guessing its the timing belt because I remember its like a teeth or 2 off.

 

i'm having this same problem, but checked the dizzy and that's not it....

bump for answers to my problem as well as the OP's

 

TTT

 

it sounds to me it might be ur crank position sensor check it out if its bad the car wont start or u can also check ur main fuel relay under the dash hope this helps

 

I think i shouldn't make a new thread so i will just repost here. Still the same problem pretty much. This morning of 2/10/07 I went to go work on my car again. It was cold as heck too but lucky my car is parked in the garage. After i lined up all the TDC marks I went to go start my car but all there was just a clicking noise. I was confused and did what I used to do on my old cars. Bang the starter, after I hit the starter a few times with a hammer and i went back in to start it, it cranked for like 2 or 3 rounds then the lights inside the gauges faded out and it stopped clicking. When I use another car to jump start it everything works fine but it cranks. Do you think its my starter or something else?

 

your battery is probably low from you trying to crank it over and over and over again. You sure your getting spark and fuel? Dont tell me you've got spark and fuel until you've checked!

Yup checked everything. Car is outta my house right now its at the real shop getting a new exhaust and I decided just to do the maintance on it. I was told its because the timing belt has become stretch so I'm doing the maintance instead now.

 

You should of towed it over, I would of fixed it for a case of beer and mcdonalds.

Where do you live? Car is still at my house. The mechanic said whenever he have time he will come tow it but never have yet. The mechanic said I might need a new timing belt because the old one has been stretched too much and a new tensioner spring.
