My integra is bein a hoe, I cant figure out whats going on with her. Im getting spark and fuel on all of my cylinders, but my 2nd cylinder still wont work, even though it gets spark and fuel! She runs and everything just acting like theres only 3 cylinders but missing on the 2nd, even though everything is working. What the heck is it doing??? I need help!

 

So how is it missing in your second cylinder if everything is working? Is there a CEL? Or how do you even know it's miss firing?

 

Im not sure, Ive been getting told sooo many things, valve seals, cam solenoid, its clogged and fuel pump. Im gonna do a compression test on it and see what happens! Its getting everything its supposed to be getting just acting like its not! I dont know why. Yeah my check engine light is on, so is my abs but thats been on since i bought it! My ex had to do a block swap, so now it has a A1 in it, with a B18b1 head

 

That shouldn't matter on the block swap. What is your code is your CEL throwing? Is your mechanical timing dead on? It could be so many things but no the fuel pump is not the issue.

 

Im not sure what cel is throwing. Yes my timing is dead on! I know, Im just gonna get a compression test on it maybe tomorrow if my uncle lets me borrow his.

 

Check your cel. Search how to

 

Compression test doesn't really tell you anything.

 

sounds like a possible burned valve,, run a compression check and let us know

 

Well you gotta see why your CEL is on. Some vehicle will go into limp mode when the CEL comes on and the car runs like **** till you clear the code AFTER YOU MAKE THE REPAIRS.

 

Damn remind me to never ask you for advice broe

 

If all other cylinders are firing healthy then timing is out of the question.

1. Pull plug wire, hold near ground, look for arc. If no spark on that cylinder but still good on the other 3, odds are the cap, plug wire or plug are bad.
2. Make sure injector is firing. If it's not firing, swap it with another injector. If the problem switches cylinder, get a new injector. If it persists on that cylinder, you have a wiring issue.
3. Pull spark, take picture, post here. Any firing issue will affect the surface area of the spark plug.
4. Compression test. Low compression on that cylinder could be any number of things. Valve(s), headgasket, rings, cracked sleeve, etc...

Bad fuel pump would affect all cylinders, a bad cam solenoid (assuming you're referencing the vtec solenoid) would result in no power above where the second cam love would engage. Would not affect idle.

 

What's it gonna tell you? That it has compression or no compression? LOL You must be a genius.

A leak down test is what I would look into.

FYI don't ask me for advice I'll just ignore you like I ignore everyone else.

 

Dude your an idiot
You do a compression test to check the health of all the components in the combustion chamber. Now a cylinder leak down test is done AFTER you have performed a compression test seeing that there in deed is a fault in a particular cylinder. But it would be easier to pin point bad rings or a burnt valve or a sagging valve spring or a flat cam lobe with a compression test then with a cylinder leak down test. As a matter of fact you will never diagnose a flat cam lobe with a cylinder leak down test..EEEVVVEERR..and believe me..i see those often..especially on vehicles with high miles

 

Yup I'm a total idiot. LOL
