motor has spark and fuel
starts on ether

when starting it'll fire for a second and then nothing.
ive changed the FPR. has a new distributor spark plugs.

im at a loss now.

 

Check your cam timing, make sure all your marks are lined up, at the same time make sure when the engine is on #1 firing TDC, the distributor rotor is pointing at #1 post on the distr. cap. Do a compresson test. Re-check your valve adjustment. Its a honda man, if all thats ok and you have spark, it will run. If cam and/or ign timing is off, that ethier will still burn, you could ignite that stuff from the friction of grandmas thighs. Hope this helps.

cam timing is good i just replaced the belt.
engine is firing on #1 tdc. checked that by checking the post with the cap off.
will be doing a compression check tommarow. i guess it could need an adjustment.

 

compression is good. 220-230 all across

friend of mine is saying im using the wrong dizzy. its an obd0 one. any insight?
causing the cam position sensor to have the wrong timing for the injectors to fire?
im using a pr3 ecu.

 

you have to check all your map sensors and vacuum lines

 

There are two versions of the pr3, an obd1 and obd0. Is the car set up for 0 or 1? What fuel rail do you have? Once I used the stock ef fuel line onto a obd1 billet fuel rail and the banjo bolt didn’t line up or was to small, the engine ran for a sec and then died, after trying everything I put the banjo bolt that cam with the swap on and it ran fine. Could be your problem.

 

does anyone have a vac diagram for this? the one in the FAQ is dead.

car is set for obd0. im assuming i have the oem fuel rail. the car ran once before. i picked up the car in pieces after my brothers just dumped it at my dads house and he gave the car to me. my dad went dumb and tried to put the motor in a 88 sedan and never finished the job. i hate picking up other peoples projects but it was a free car and will be better on gas than my boosted spec v

 

 

what are those valves/actuators on the firewall?

 

map sensor and purge selinoid

 

k. purge solenoid is missing. ill check the vac lines in a few min

 

Hello... I had the same problem on my Civic, and apparently, I still can't find the solenoid, (im a noob for these things, still checking the engine by myself) is there any detailed diagram for this?

 

im having the same prob too lol i just bout a 98 civic with a jdm b16a sir swap and drove it for a lil over two weeks and wont start now i replaced the distrubitor witch was a td-44u and checkes for spark and i got spark in wires and timing is good tdc#1 it has the right ecu swaped also a p-30 checked injectors and timing for them and good also checked if gas was pumping into was good wants to turn on but i think no compression i dont know dont have a testor or money to get done think i might not have that purge selinoid dont remember seeing it anywhere and above the intake manifold the looks like there should be a hose to it so ill check it out i have pics but dont know how to put them on here lol anything i missing let me know im knew to this hole jdm thing completlly like i said i just got the car it my first and already breakin help me cause i dont want to get rid of i love this car lol the only reason i know any of these things is cause i been reading alote on this site it awsome
