my 99' civic ex was running FINE,put ITB's NEW head gasket and ARP head studs.the car is getting fuel because the cylinders that ARE'nt firing are wet with fuel.i pulled the #1 spark plug wire off and it's firing perfectly..........................WHAT is IT?

 

where are you at in killeen?

 

hows the timing? Is this a d16y8?

 

YES i'm in killeen,it's a Y7/Y8

 

Are your plugs fouled out?

 

looking down into the cylinders looks like the pistons are wet causing the spark plugs to foul up.the only thing i can think of is the valves are either staying closed and NOT letting air in or open causing almost the same effect!

 

are you in the army? Give me a pm and I will give you my phone number and If I have time during lunch I can come look at your car. I work on fort hood

 

you need three things to start a car, fuel, spark and compression, check that if not then it could be the timing

 

you changed the headgasket? did you set your base timing? the markns on the crank pulley?
