the car just turns over and thats all. was its something i missed during reassembly

95 accord lx
186,xxx miles


if the video does work just go to youtube and search for " no compression". any help would be appreciated

 

did you compression check, or fuel/spark test? prolly forgot to hook something up, but how do you know no compression?

 

gettin fuel, how can i check spark?

if its no spark what would cause that?

no i didnt do a compression test i just called it that because that was the video's title and my car sounds exactly the same.

if my timing is off would it cause it to do that?

what do i need to check?

thanx

 

yes is the timing belt is off it can do that.was is on tdc when you took it apart and when you put it back together ? i would start at the basics first.
did you take the t/stat off ?

 

Valves may be adjusted too tight and not allowing a good seal to build up compression.

 

t-belt could cause it, it might be 180 out. you should go get a compression gauge there like 20 bucks over at autozone. that way you can tell if its across all cylenders, or one or two.

 

ok. distibutor was unplugged. car started but it runs like crap. if i dont give it gas it will cut off.

what now? and sorry for my noobness

 

check your timing

 

if not the timing check for air leak.
