ok it will crank but it wont start... im getting spark, fuel, and i did a compression test and all cylinders are gettin from 140-175 psi but one that is gettin about 75psi... i have a 91 crx dx... this all started when i was burnin out and tried to catch second it jus shut off on me... i thought it might be it skipped timing but i had my mechanic re-do that and that is fine... car still wont start help me please...

 

bump!!! come on i need some help

 

So you have fuel, spark, and air... What methods did you employ to verify this? Why can't your mechanic figure it out?

Did you read all of this:

Were you doing that burnout on a race track? If no, then thats what you get. And your "mechanic" should be able to tell you right?

 

sound like it needs rings ....lol did the car smoke when was running ??? if not sounds like bent valves or head gasket

 

well it smoked but only when i hit it and it didnt smoke alot... and i was burnin out in the rain first of all because i was pissed at the women of the house lol so "skipbudlong" kill yourself... haha... i was thinking it was a burnt valve... cuz the same things happend to me when i had my hatch.. and another question... in the carburator or w/e its called are both valves supposed to open when you move the throttle body? cuz only one moves for me

 

that sounds even more retarded..."jdmkid" kill yourself.

 

if a person comes to ht bragging his car wont start, they should atleast lie about what really happened. burning out and trying to catch second gear? skipped timing, bent couple of valves. do a leakdown test

 

i had a hatchback of mine before go on me couldn't figure out why i had my air , fuel, spark, and fuel. but swapped the dizzy and she fired up no hassels at all. just guess it wasn't making enough spark.

try swapping out the dizzy

 

??? Carb??? on a 91dx??? good luck kid...

 

this would make sense if i was tryin to brag that it was not starting... who brags that there car wont start... and why am i goin to lie about how it happened i came here askin for help not douche bags tellin me im an idiot... so if your not gonna try to help then jus dont reply to my thread... its that simple... thank you everybody else for your input... ima try that dizzy thing...

 

is the car cranking really fast ???it sound like it skipped time like one-cam said and bent some valves or threw a rod one ....with one cylinder only haveing 75psi on compression...gl man

 

so if one is getting only 75 psi. it should still run on 3 cylinders.

i drove my one dx for a year after running it for the whole time on 3 cylinders. rings were toast and had to do a few oil changes more then normal but **** when i pulled it out and swapped it , it was still running.

 

today i am goin to try the distributor and if it does not work than i am goin to jus sell my motor and trans and stuff and finish my ls swap...

 

exactly what the problem was thank you soo much lol i was ready to jus pull my motor lol you saved another single cam... you are the man... i owe you one and you can quote me on that too

 

you can close this thread now...
