hey i was wondering if anybody could help .. i got a 93 eg with a d15b in it that dont stay on then dont even start..
my car only starts the first time i try to start it when its cold but like 1 minute later or sooner it shuts off and wont start back up just keeps cranking....could it be some kind of sensor thats bad or something? im confused and tired of trying to figure out what it is...

any help will be greatly appreciated .. thanks

any check engine lights? did this just occur or have you recently swapped and won't start? When it won't start does it not have spark? fuel?

 

i think it does have a check engine . i did swap the motor and this started happening so i swapped a new motor in and still have the same problem i did use the same engine harness could the harness be faulty somehow? already tried almost everything except that..

 

any ideas?

 

Test for spark... Test for fuel... If you have both, then i'd check over wires/ecu

 

if he didnt have spark nor fuel the car wouldnt stay on. im guessing you dont have one of your sensors/wires hooked up properly and the car does not have enough time to throw a CEL so your working blind. just check over all your sensors and wires and doit by the manual for that motor/car/harness specific.

 

car does have spark and fuel. just check almost all sensors like the tps,iacv,map sensor,ecu and all others have no clue what it could be...?????

does the check engine light stay on? if so you need to check the code. Also make sure you have all your engine grounds connected.

 

the check engine it throws is for the Electrical Load Detector i think. could this cause my problem. and im pretty sure my grounds are hooked up right...

Double Check the grounds again, Ive had this same problem before.

 

ok so i think i finally fixed it .it runs perfect now .it might have been the ground wires cuz i sanded down all the contact points so they could have a good connection. and i also filled up the gas tank half ways to make sure it was getting enough gas cuz it had enough to turn on but maybe not enough to stay on. but either way it starts and stays on and runs perfect now so im happy! so thanks for your help guys.......

 

I had that problem too. Grounding is everthing. If it keeps up (crossing fingers that it doesn't) take a look at your main relay. My civic had that problem awhile back. Swapped the relay and had no problems since.
