I Bought a 1990 civic, it has a 1.6 non V-tec engine in it. It has a hot spark, plenty of compression, and fuel.The timing is right on. I can play around with it and get it running, i can get it to rev up as high as i want it to go...but when it starts to get up to temp, it dies. then it wont start til it cools down, and its still hard to get it to start again. so if anyone can help, please do...

 

its not overheating is it?

 

No, it dosent run long enough too overheat. It's a two point injection too, if that helps.....

 

do u feel exshaust coming out of the muffler when u start it up???

 

Ya, theres exaust comin out

 

headgasket.

 

Even if i have good compression?

 

1.6 with a dual point?????? is a swap that you bought from someone????? maybe they did the wiring wrong if it is a swap???? need more info.

 

Well theres a PM9 e.c.u. in it....if that could be giving me problems?

 

not running when hot is probably a bad igniter
