ok, doing a swap for a friend, its a 91 civic dx, the old motor blew, just put a stock dual point fi back in it. got everything put back in and it will not turn over, all the wiring is right, grounds are right, battery is good, dizzy is brand new(came with new motor)

the thing is i cant turn it over by hand either, i could before i put the auto tranny on because i had to turn it to put the torque converter on but the starter clicks, engages but will not turn it, kinda like its seized up but like i said before i put the tranny on i know it turned over

 

maybe when you put the tranny on the torque converter wasnt all the way in the tranny and now its binding. that happened to me a few times on other autos but i never messed with a honda auto.

 

the tranny wouldnt go on flush if it wasn't in properly would it?

 

not completely flush but it can get close and then you go to stick a bolt in and tighten everything down and it will go flush but not be right. i was just leting you know what problems ive had with autos. what you can do to see if thats your problem is take out all the bolts that go from the flywheel to the torque converter then seen if the torque converter spins freeley.

 

i would but i can't spin the motor so i can only take off one bolt connecting the torque converter to the flywheel so i guess, im giong to attempt to pull the tranny i just havent had time this weekend, i hope to god there is room to pull it out of the torque converter

 

thanks for the help, ill let keep the thread going incase i need some more help

 

ok that did the trick, damn auto's lol
