Well my friend just bought a Civic the people he got it from messed it up.... It only Starts n runs when the firing order is backwards.....



Like instead of it being 1234 its 4321 if u get what i mean.... If you put it in write firing order it doesnt even start...... but if u mix it up it runs...


I could hear it was misfiring when it was idling....

 

this?

 

Ok Now u see how on the actual dizzy how the firing order is 1234


Well on his if u set it like that it will not start..


Its gonna b hard to explain... but ill try


OK now the actual dizzy its self 1 and 4 have to switch and 2 and 3 have to switch or it WILL NOT start at all....


If its in the right firing order it will just crank and crank and crank untill batt dies......

 

tryed checking the timing it was on.... tryed spinning the little thing in the dizzy the part taht goes in the cam the part that stick out still didnt work

 

Have you checked mechanical timing of the crank and cam?

 

its 1342 bro --- not 1234

 

pull plug n wire to #1 crank untill it is at the top. check dizzy and it should fire up if that is correct.

timing could be out 180 but i doubt it.

i think the person before me was correct.

 

1342 for all Hondas

1 being the timing side and 4 being the distributor side

 

wen its in right firing order it wont start at all is what im sayin it has to misfire in order for it to run

 

when looking at the motor under the hood it is [-(1)-(3)-(4)-(2)-]


timing marks are ^ with the top and the bottom two point towards the center mark of the top one

there is a screw inside the cover of dizzy. it sometimes rattles loose cause it not to start.
