ok so the problem started monday morning leaving for school i tried to start my EJ1 and it wouldn't turn over eventually got it to turn over by pumping the shh...out of my gas. my neighbor who is a mechanic said it might be the fuel filter.

So today i changed the fuel filter changed the oil cause it needed to be done and it seems worse. Car boggs a little, it sputters, and it sounds like it backfires too. well i opened it up a little seemed like it helped a little but its still there. Really need some help any suggestions.
oh and its a D16Z6

 

 

When you mention you got it to turn over by pressing on the gas pedal. Do you mean just having the motor turn? Or the car actually starts up?

And you said when you open it up; it helped. What are you opening up?

 

most likely your plugs and check your ignition timing also. try that then come back

 

You may have a fouled plug or two .. like mentioned above check your plugs.

 

check your dizzy too...my distributor went out on my sohc cam hatch and it wouldnt do ****. it would crank and crank but never start. i think i had it running maybe once or twice though...so idk. i changed the dizzy and its been running fine since. but check plugs first like everyone else has said...they are cheaper.

 

ok when it turned over i ment it started and what i ment by opening it up i ment i really got on gas driving around

 

well the car runs but it sputters on start up sometimes and it kinda boggs driving around sometimes

 

See if there is any oil on the tip of your spark plug. Sometime the seal that prevents oil from the head to spill back down onto the spark plug will go bad causing oil to spill down onto the spark plug. When that happens the oil can make its' way down into your cylinder if your spark plug is not tight and this will cause sputter.

 

will check it out tomorrow. any other possiblilities?

 

its a single cam.

They're broken from the factory.

You must be [freak]ing awesome.

 

Actually I'd love for you to beat MY B16.

It's stock.....kinda.

Stock crank....that's about it.

thats just a moronic reply.

but on a side note one of the worlds fastest honda is an 8 sec N/A SOHC

 

 

you might have sucked some crap up, try some injector cleaner and check timing

thanks for your o so helpful input

 

check the ecu and see if the rust has reached it or if the wires are pinched

 

im runing the funest sleeper ever y7 y8 mini me with some dohc zc pistons pulls hard for a sohc beats a stock zc and a 2L vw's to runs nice up aganst integra ls all about the 99 ex tranny nice long 3 gear

 

OP do a tune up
spark plug wires
spark plugs
distributor cap and rotor
air filter
you already did fuel filter....

also sometimes if you're low on gas you need to let the fuel pump prime before you start it. I always turn my key to accessory, put on my seat belt (letting it prime), and then start my car. Saves the starter from unneccesory work... GL with the problem.

i always do that too...if you started it and didnt have alot of gas you mightve sucked **** into the fuel system or even gotten some air in there.

-tune up
-injector cleaner
-drive somewhere and stay around 3500~ rpm, that'll flush anything out

aaa yes zc p29 pistons high compression SOHC do run pretty hard.


anyway dont forget to gap yoru spark plugs when you do them or check if they are gapped correclty

 

Is the CEL ON?

 

no cell im gonna try the fuel injector cleaner

 

sounds like a time for a tune up.
