Car sat for like 2 years

it has spark fuel is getting to the rail cleaned the injectors as best as i could


cranks but doesn't start

i tried starting fluid and still no start '

any ideas would be awesome

 

What color is spark at the plugs?

Is the CEL on?

Have you checked the mechanical timing and cylinder compressions?

 

Spark is white

motor came out of running car so i know the timing and compression is good


im gonna try and re soder main relay and see what that does

no cel

and also fuel guage doesnt go up when i put gas in it today

 

If the fuel pump primes, the main relay is most likely fine.

Does the CEL work?

Are the plug wires installed in the correct firing order on the distributor cap?

Do the fuel injector connectors have battery voltage with the key in ON(II)?

 

no cel

pump primes and gets fuel to rail



didnt check injectors


but car still wont start even if i spray starting fluid in the throtle body

 

Does the CEL work?

Check the plug wire firing order on the cap (see diagram). Cylinders are ordered 4-3-2-1 as you go from the distributor to the timing belt. Also check the firing order of the fuel injector clips.

If all is fine, check the mechanical timing and the cylinder compressions.

 

ill check all that in the morning thanks

 

need info on this as well

 

Compresion test done


Cyl 4 60
Cyl 3 80
Cyl 2 110
Cyl 1 150

Obiously not good motor is worthles to me
unless i can fix for like under 20 buks

motor is just a stock dx single scam non vtec

so i guess my build is getting ls vtec sooner then i planed

 

Anyone know any tricks to raise compression to try and get this motor runing

 

put a tiny bit of oil in through the sparkplug holes

 

did that didnt do anything but get it to buck a little bit

 

how much did u put in it?

 

COUPLE OF DROPS

DEFF NOT ENOUGH

 

put about a cap full of oil in each and crank it some. without the plugs in and then replace the plugs or you could do another compression test and see if it did anything. If the test results are the same I would just sell the motor or put new rings in it

 

yeah im gonna try oil again and if it doesnt work then im just gonna go B
