Last night I did a compression test on my engine I just built a couple weeks ago. The engine was running great, had a little bit of a problem at idle but I was working on that with my chip at the time. After I was done was done with the compression test I was going to run the car for a bit to charge the battery back up. But it wouldn't start up. It starter turns the motor, I checked each spark plug and they all have spark, and the there is fuel being dumped. And I compression in each cylinder. Ive went over everything including switching though a couple diffent chip programs and also hooking my p2p ecu back up and still it woun't start.
The only thing i think it could be is the time in the distubutor messed up or something. Any constructive ideas would be great!

 

check your timing... or your plug wires, i have know a few dumb kids that put there plug wires on wrong and couldnt figure it out for months

 

ya the timing is dead on and the plugs are all right. I had my good friend that build b series for people come over and he couldnt figure it out eather. I am hopfully getting a distrubutor tomarrow and I hope that fixes it, because if not who knows what is wrong

 

If you have spark the dizzy should be fine....

What year is the car? Does it have immobilizer?? I burned the memory on the immobilizer once and had the exact same problems. Spark, fuel presssure and motor turning over and no start.

 

try the main relay, ignition coil, or ignition control module (icm)...had the same problem the other day...change the ICM and it started...maybe the ignition coil...main relay, not to sure...

 

Maybe it would be useful to measure the fuel pressure. Will the engine fire with starter fluid?

Very common problem in our Honda's. First thing i'd do and its cheap. Also notice better mileage and response with these replaced if they haven't been.

 

Give us some history. Car's usually don't have problems out of the blue. Have you worked on the car lately? Do you have an alarm?
