ok i searched with no luck. i swaped out my b16 transmission with a itr lsd transmission. everything bolted up the itr didn't have a starter so i bolted the b16 starter. now it cranks but it won't start. what do yall think. thanks for the hep

 

Sounds more like a fuel or spark problem than a starter problem given that the engine cranks.

 

i checked the spark plugs and they where a little fouled so cleaned them and the fuel pree. is at 40.

 

a) did you make sure everything was plugged correctly?
b) were all grounds reattached?

little things, but important nonetheless... id go through there with a fine-tooth comb.

I agree. You also should test whether you lack spark at the plugs, which seems likely. This will help focus your troubleshooting effort.

 

checked the grounds on the transmission side, and on the engine it's self. unbolted them and cleaned them and put them back. took the starter to get checked it works fine. all the plugs are on.even cleaned the connections to the starter replaced the battery, checked the main rely on my buddy's ek. worked fine. the spark plugs arnt that old may be about 5 months same for the wires.

 

You need to check whether there is spark at each plug. To do this, disconnect a plug wire from a plug and insert a good spark plug into the end of the plug wire. Ground the threads of the plug against a convenient metal engine part and have your buddy crank the engine. You should see a bright spark at the tip of the plug. Repeat for each plug wire. If none of the plugs has spark, then check the coil and igniter in the distributor and whether the distributor connector is getting power.

 

ok i did that. there was no stark. so i checked it from the dizzy cap to the wire and no spark either, so took the cap off and checked the icm with my multimeter accroding to helms and that looked good. so i looked at the cap and the little contact points look worn. so im gonna go replace it and hope it works. gonna get new plugs to.

 

Did you check the ICM and the coil? A problem with either could lead to "no spark".

 

yeah i checked the icm. and the there was voltage on the wires and then the risstence on the blue wiire everything seamed normal accroding to the book

 

Before replacing the distributor cap and plugs, you should test the coil.

 

it was the cap. changed it out and started right up. god i love lsd. car pulls harder then when i had the b16 tranny. thanks for the help guys
