So I made a thread a bit ago but instead of bumping from the dead i'll make this new one, updated.
So I bought a 1995 honda civic coupe with an ls/vtec turbo in it. It was sitting since October (Early December when I bought it) It had a little trouble starting but it did fire up and stay running on the hondata ecu. That ecu was not included in the sale. No problems. It was swapped out for a chrome chipped p28 that was tuned for the car. It started up again and I took it home. The very next day it would not start, and has still not started since. I have fuel, I have spark. If I try to start it, it floods. If I put BRAND new plugs in, it will fire but will run very rich, and backfire like crazy. It will also die unless I keep it idling high. I figured in the end it could be my dizzy. I bought a new distributor, installed it and it still will not start. It will just flood itself. I would set the timing but i cant until it is up to operating temperatures. The car isn't made for the cold, and I don't intend on driving it through the cold winter, but it needs to start so i can transport it to a local D.I.Y garage and back. Is there something wrong with the ecu? I'm at a loss. It's been 2 months now. List of mods-

Make sure you check all of your grounds, fuses, clips
could be something as dumb as your map sensor came unplugged.

never know

 

Here's the original thread.

Check the mechanical timing. The timing belt may be off by one tooth.

Any CEL codes?

 

No cel's. I tried checking. Also, belt seems to be on all teeth

 

You need to check whether the timing belt still has the crank and cams synchronized at TDC1.

Does the CEL work?

 

Maybe it's your sparkplug wires... check for spark
do a compression test and start from there

 

To be honest im not 100% sure if the CEL works. I havent had the car long enough, or had it running long enough to find out. I keep getting told that the cold start enrichment on the chrome tune is so screwed it isnt starting the car.

 

When you turn the key from off to ON(II), the CEL should turn on and then off after 2 seconds if no codes are thrown.

I don't have a diagram for your engine, but you also need to check the mechanical timing.

I'll also copy this thread to the Engine Management and Tuning forum.
