i have a 94 integra ls. Today i just got finished with replacing the headgasket on my engine... new gaskets seals.

I made sure the timing belt was adjusted correctly, but when i started the car it sounded like its trying hard to start but cant. I checked over and over when putting everything together and torqued everything to specs... all hoses and sensors connected correctly.

At the time my battery was pretty much dead so we tried jumpin it with the truck... nothing.

Over night, i recharged my battery and tried again... it sounded like it wants to just crank over but wont.. Im not sure but i think my timing could be off with dizzy.

Is there anyway to adjust or just check if its my timing when my car wont even start??
Any info would be greatly appreciated...
thanks in advance.

 

you did not mention
any fuel
any spark

 

make sure your timing is correct. And that it's on the compression stroke. Like above mention, check fir fuel and spark.

 

make sure all your grounds are hooked up and clean

 

i am getting fuel and spark as well...
I just got done checking all my wiring and grounds as well.
Everything looks good... so i can guarantee its my timing.

Tomorrow im going to take timing belt off again and adjust the crank so the 1st piston at tdc and then put belt on again and then try it.
Timing is such a pain!! lol

 

i think its timing too, hope you get your teg runing

 

When you put your timing at tdc, what is the location of your dizzy rotor? When i did my friends headgasket, i mistakenly put the dizzy rotor 180 degrees the other way and that was the reason for my friends car not starting.

 

Ouch dude that blows.I just did that in my honda a few weeks ago and it didn't start it was actually a tiny ground wire that wasn't hooked up... U might wanna double check those once more before u try the timing belt
