Default Turbo Civic Wont start?

It started earlier but was dying at stop signs and bogging while drive. Now I parked it and it wont start.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Ill post the setup later maybe. It has only done it today and I have only had the car a week so I dont know very much.

When i start it i have to rev it hard to get it then it will idle but after a while the idle gets lower and it dies. It bogs alot and dies at corners. I think it might be spark plugs. What are some good spark plugs for turbo setup and Ill go buy some and replace em all..

I bet it has nothing to do with his forced induction. Sounds exactly like a vacuum problem. i would really check out the hoses around the Intake Manifold especially.

It sounds like a vacuum problem but don't rule out fuel pump and fuel filter, seen both cause similar problems........happy hunting

Could be: bad fuel filter, shitty fuel injectors, wrong ECU / not properly tuned ECU, horrible condition spark plugs... You need to get one STEP colder spark plugs for each additional 100HP that you are making over stock. Get NGK's.

I got new ngks 1 colder and it made it worse. I talked to a friend and said that they had the same problem. They said there distributor broke or went out. could this be it? Cause it gradually got worse.

thanks

Very possible, then again it could be a number of things......That is the one bad thing about buying/doing swaps its harder for you to figure out what is goin on with you vehicle.......See if it is the distributor, if not then I recomend checking the fuel pump and filter.

so how would I know if it was the distributor. Any way I could tell if I took the cap off? I dont think the fuel filter when make it that bad all in one day. The fuel pump might if it burn up, but I dont think it is. It just seems like timing somewhere cause I can rev it to get it to start but seems like its running on 2 cylinders.

Could it be your alternator? Make sure there's still a belt on there . Have the injectors checked and replace your fuel filter.
