Default 1991 civic hatch. B`16 sawp. Engine will start.. Acts up

Ok so i did a b series swap in my car almost a year ago.



I just did a High performance head swap, about 2 weeks ago.


When i finioshed the work, The car would not crank. I did think it was my statrter, And i did think it was my battery.

I had purchased a New oddessy PC 680 battery before all this so i foiund it hard to believe it was my battery.

When i got the car going, the High beam lights were on, and both left and right signals were on.


The other day i went to drive my car, I have had no problems since. The cars signal lights went on (left, Right) and the high beam light as well. shortly after i was stuck at a stop light and the car would not start.

It has been cold. I dont know if the car was flooding out. I do not know why the Instrument light would all go on.

I checked all grounds and re did all connections. I have one to the frame and one to the engine. I noticed when i was adjusting the distrubitor bolts to time correctly, i saw a small arc at the V tec solenoid. Not sure what is going on. I am trying to figure this out i haventy driven the car since monday afternoon. Gave it a pop of either and it cranked right up. Please let me know what the best idea or guess is. I am stumpped. I built the car almost every NUT and BOLT and some stupid *** wiring issue or short is going to ruin it for me., Thanks Joe

just had car running for all most a hour. I was using a 10mm wrench to tighten things around vtec sol. and hit wrench against solenoid and a pressure sensor i believe it is a oil pressure next to it. Well car immideatily sputtered out and idled down had no throttle at all. car wont start now didnt want to drain the battery to much.


Did not want to spray with starting fluid. i tried to pull the Ecu fuse and hazzard and reset everything nothing yet. some sort of electrical issue with the grounding. if i knew were it was or how to resolve it i would.


I would also like to really to try and go some where as well
