Hey I have a 1995 Integra LS built.

its been running fun until i did a change on the spark plugs..what happened was when i changed all the spark plugs i forgot to put one of the wires back on...and i got it running(with only 3 cylinders sparking) then it shut down all of a sudden...i looked under the hood and saw that one of the wires was not even in the spark plug tube...now that i have all 4 in there...it wont start....ive been cranking it over and over several times and nothing...what do u think is the problem? it was only running on the 3 cylinders for about 15 seconds. thanks in advanced!

 

this is a very simple question with a very technical response...

Ok, so we all do stupid things and beleive me, i have done this before...

Do yourself a favor and check your leads on your wires...check your spark plugs again, even though they are new...make sure they are gapped properly...If this fails, check your dizzy, look at the cap and rotor...when you send a spark through only three cylinders you tend to arc a bit because of the fourth cylinder missing...you essentially are off timing...if that all fails try unhooking the negative cable on your battery...resets the ECU and that might help...if all else fails, look at your fuse box under the hood and make sure you didnt blow a main fuse, that happens quite frequently in these cars, as did mine when i had a 95 integra...lemme know what you get out of this!

Good luck!

Check the cap and rotor of the distributor.

 

Its the module inside the ditributor. I did the same exact thing the first day i had my car. Check it first but i 95% sure its the module

 

leaving a plug wire off shouldnt dammage the module.

 

I agree with BlahBlah...although that could be part of it, start with the small stuff and check the cap and rotor...

 

Your firing order is off...

 

thats possible but if the firing order was off the car would crank over and sputter, possibly not even run...maybe even backfire a bit

 

Shouldnt but i seen it done a couple times
