K..so swapped in a first gen obd-0 b16 in my ef, tried starting it and its a no go.

-previous d-series ran perfect
-mpfi done
-brand new dizzy
-reused spark plugs and wires
-reused obd0 injectors with resistor box
-new obd0-obd1 conv. harness
-obd1 p72
-vtec not hooked up yet

Weird thing is while i was checking for spark the engine started... And if i tried putting the plug and wire in the cyl it would die out...

Diagnosed:
-different dizzy
-chked for spark
-set motor to tdc, took cap off dizzy, rotor is facing bottom left
-sparkplug timing order
34
12
-injectors work fine
- fpr gauge reads 40psi


Any suggestions!!!!????

 

define wont start do you mean the stater isnt kicking on or is it spining over with no signs of running

 

the starter works cause it starts on 3 cyl but when all four sparkplugs are in it would crank then catch for a sec and die out...

 

LMAOL...OBD0-OBD1 jumper.....hahahaha stick with all obd0...ur ecu is >obd1<...distributor can't be 0 with that obd1 ecu and resister box is only for obd0 you need the obd 0 ecu...i also got one...lol if you want to buy ask...but like i said change that ecu to 0

 

check your cam timing dude...dosnt make sense how it dies when you have only 3 spark plugs in...

 

dizzy is fine..its a t44u (obd1)

I set everything to tdc and the motor was never takin apart either...it starts on 3cyl but not with all sparkplugs/wires in. I've checked all the timing, plugs and wires are good..im hookin up my oil pressure gauge tmo to see if im getting any pressure.

 

check for any codes. where is the map sensor hooked up to? be sure it is not ported vac it needs to be after the throttle body.

 

its hooked up @ the top of the tb..not exactly sure how to chk for codes..ecu doesnt have light

 

there should be a two wire plug on the passenger side of the car under the dash in a green rubber cover thing. when you find it turn the car on try to start it then leave the key on run. jumper the two wires with a paper clip or something. the check engine light will flash.

ps just for diag take move the map to the fuel pressure regulator vac port on the manifold try to start it like that

 

havent been able to try that yet but i have an oil light on..so im gonna chk the oil sensor..but its weird that it still runs on 3 cyl...

 

oh and is that two wire plug on ef's as well?

 

yes it does, have you fixed this car yet?

 

k..tried that, and also tried starting it with oil cap off(thinking maybe too much crankcase press.)..so im gonna try 2 more things..compression test an reset timing and if that doesnt wrk im gonna blow the car up..ne other suggestions?

 

oh and i tried to jump that plug by using a paperclip, one end on each end and key in 2 pos..the light just stays on

 

will update after compression test

 

o and try to start the car then dont turn the key off check for codes again. because every time you turn the key off it clears the codes

 

Sounds like your firing order is off, Check timing and firing order.

 

kantspell- waiting on a friends ecu..under the impression its just my ecu thats fukt

tagperformance-checked timing(first post)..but I cant use the timing light unless the car is running right..

 

So a p28 dint change anything...last thinh I can think of is the conv. Harness..

 

your missing something.

how did the comp test go?

 

havent been able to get a hold of one yet

 

suggestions?
