Hye guys I had a problem with my sol and thought maybe you could help me out. i will give you as much info as posible and if you could tell me what you think i would do, I would apreciare it.
couple of days ago i was driving to work, I started my car and warmed it up before i left, I made it about a mile and stoped at a light.
The car idoled fine and didnt give me any cause for alarm. When the light went green I accelerated into the street made it about 15 feet then the engine just stright up died. I was rolling so i pushed in the clutch and tried to start it again but it would just crank. I got out of the street and into a parking lot and checked all my wires, everything looks good.
when i turn the key I can hear the fuel pump prime, but when I try and start it, it just crankes. I pulled out the ignitor and replaced it with a new one and verified it got spark. To get to the Distributor i pulled out the intake.
When i am cranking it i can smeall gas so it should be geting some.
What would you sujest I check next? any ideas?
Thanks

 

do u get any fuel to injectors and any sparks?

 

I have verified spark, and can smell fuel but not sure how to test fuel better.

i mean if one of the injectors is shot, the car can still fires up but will run very rough, and in your situation, the car wont even fries up. i meant to say check the fuel line to fuel rail. and also check all the fuese and main relay and starter. make sure all the ground wires are good.

 

checking relay now, and I have verified all fuses.
what is the best way to test a fuel rail, crack the banjo bolt and see if it leaks?

 

how old is your timing Belt ?

 

I was told it was replaced before I bought the car.
my guess would be 15000 miles maybe.

 

I am trying to verify my main relay but the pics a friend told me to look at to see what they look like are diffrent then the ones I found.
can anyone verify this is the main relay?

 

found the main relay, was looking under the hood not in the car.
I swaped it out with the one from my civic (same part numbers) and it still did the same thing.

people say a lot of things, just check to make sure its still intact before you rip the car apart looking for other things

 

just replaced the fuel presure regulator with the stock one. when i loosened the bolts it leake4d fuel so i think we have fuel to the rail.

 

check for spark check for fuel (make sure the injectors are actually working) check compression

 

My old del sol did that once and all it was, was the distributor.

 

Since you already did all that I would just check for compression and timing.
I bet you jumped a tooth or the belt broke

I hoping it not the later.

 

if the belt is broke, it will crank really fast and sound higher pitched than normal.

 

It's the distributor gone i had the same thing go on my sol with a B16.

 

i agree distributor or timing belt, the way i checked my injectors is the ghetto way.. take out the rail with the injectors and point the rail out fo the engine bay and do it outside, get somone to crank it over a couple times your injectors should spray

 

even if it is the timing it will still start

 

if the timing belt broke, there is no way the motor will run. how would the valves open and close?

 

i had the same prob on my 4 door my gsr jus stoped it ended up being the timing belt

 

Anyone have a OBD2 B126 distributor for sale?

 

I have money on the ignition coil. Happened to me and two other friends on mine. Car just died and kept cranking.

 

I am also thinking that it is the belt.

 

Distributer 100%

 

50/50 coudl go either way dizzy or timing belt
easy way to find out
pull off timing belt top cover
see if belt is tight, and not shreaded or anything
if its cool, turn to tdc and make sure thye all line up and didnt jump
if it did not jump then dizzy

good luck
