recent swap... has been running great for about a week then today while i was coming to a stop the crank pulley just falls off... i losing P/S and the battery light comes on then when i came to a complete stop... it died and wouldn't start again...

i replaced the pulley already...

what would cause this sudden Fxck up?

 

most likey the crank pully was not tightened enough i had the same problem on my old mini me z6 i was at a light and my battery light came on so i was like WTF! got to my job and my crank pully was laying there lol. make sure you still have the little key that goes on your crank pully and tighten it really good. did your timming belt slip off too? mine did .

 

not timing belt didn't slip off but i think it still might be a timing issue...

can a fuel pump just got out like that?

 

check to make sure that your crankshaft fluctuation sensor didnt get damaged. this is only if you have a 96-00 civic. ( located on the oil pump, behind timing cover) if this sensor doesnt get a signal, then it will not start.

 

hmmm ok it is a 00 civic ex but i recently swapped in a 99 civic si... would it matter that i'm running a p28 for a SOHC Vtec automatic?

 

how do i check that sensor?

 

it tries to turn over and it sounds the same as if it weren't getting fuel or spark...

not like the bent valves kinda waaaaaaaaa clankclankclank....

 

bump.?

anyone know anything?

 

the sensor is behind the lower timing belt coverright near the crankshaft. take the pully off and all the acc. belts( not timing belt) and remove the cover. it will be pretty obvious if the sensor is broken

 

hmm will check that... turns out timing was off by 5 teeth...

cars at Velocity Trends right now... should have more info tomorrow...

 

car is sitting at Velocity Trends waiting to be fixed. thanx for ur help honda guys!

 

Five teeth?! Holy crap!

 

yeah 5 teeth and no valve damage! i win!
