my car was working perfectly the other day. then i drove it about 5 feet and it just start to die down. i pushed on the gas and it wouldnt gas. now the car wont even start. it just turns over. So far ive changed the distributor, the starter, battery, spark plugs, compression started it, fuel filter and pump are working fine so its getting fuel.maybe bad injectors? still cant figure it out! possibly my spark plug wires? or maybe the distributor is still bad? posssibly my altinator? my oil light turned on as well as the battery light. i need some help man!!

vacuum leak? make sure that everything is connected properly.

 

how would i check that? just today i changed the spark plug wires, dizzy cap, and rotor. in the 'teg manual it says to check it the rotor turns when cranked and it didnt turn. hmmm

 

i just bought a brand new distributor with new cap and rotor... still nothing...

 

same problem here

 

**** sucks dude. i cant figure anything out. i spent over 400 tryna figure out the damn problem and so far nothing.. paid for towing, dizzy, cap, rotor, wires, spark plugs, food, and cigarettes

 

dude if your car still aint runnin try this stuff is your fuel pump priming when you key on eng off, if not check fuses and pgmfi relay (under dash) if all thats good then list up any mods i had a prob with my msd losing trgger signal and it did he same thing

if the rotor and dizzy dont turn when the motor is cranking over you might have a broken timing belt, pull your valve cover and see if your intake cam is turning when you crank the motor, or if your timing belt is even on your cams gears, good luck

oh snaps! there's only one way to install your rotor!
take off the distributor, to check if the intake cam is turning!

 

You might want to go and check the ignition coil on the car. If you have a multimeter, you can test it -- if its bad, order the part for about $50. You might have to pay more if you get it local, but the car will start running again.

I had the same thing happen to me a few months ago. Scared the **** out of me because the car ran perfect, and all of a sudden the engine just shut down. Got spark/fuel etc, but the coil was just bad.

If its not the coil, you can check the ICM too (ignition control module) with the multimeter. I don't have the specs in front of me, but I'm sure someone can chime in with the info..if not I think team-integra.net has an "Advanced Ignition Troubleshooting" article you can follow.

Good luck!

 

thanks guys. yeah im not getting any spark at all so im guessing my timing belt snapped or something. keep the help coming. good lookin out!

 

oh and my cams arent turning

 

oh! my timing belt is all stripped. im a dumbass. aright thanks guys
