just put a d16y8 into my 92 vx hatch ...it has a p28 chipped ecu ... the car has spark, and fuel, it does crank, but i dont know why it wont start ... anybody suggest anything?? thanks for all your help ... brian

 

if it has fuel and spark but wont start then there is a major problem going on

 

haha, well it had some zex spark plugs ... could i assume maybe that it had nos at one time and something went wrong?????

 

TTT

 

try moving ur dizzy....first make sure ur not using a vtec dizzy, then loosen, dont take them off, just loosen the bolts on it, try advancing and then retarding the dizzy. I remember when i did my swap i thought i had timed it correctly following that i advanced the dizzy and boom it started (i had the SAME exact symptoms as you), later on i retimed it and found that for whatever reason after advancing the dizzy all the way i was only off by like a degree or somethin. Worth a shot.

much luck

 

thanks, ill give it a try

 

make sure your sparkplug wire are in the right order on the dizzy thats probably what the problem is!!!

 

no, i already did that ... there in the right order

 

Timing off? If your getting everything needed then theres only so many things it can really be i think.

Maybe its just me but a y8 is vtec, so why would you want to be using a non-vtec dizzy?

 

doestnt matter, im gettin spark, isnt that all i need from the dizzy? im using a z6 dizzy, i just replaced the internals on the dizzies
