ok i started with a crx with a b16 and a hydro ls trans it runs amazing, only it was mounted with homemade mounts which made it sit crooked and broke axles. so i decide to get so billet innovative mount and since i had to pull the motor out anyways and i had a built b17 with match trans sitting around so i put that in. everything plugged the same it wont start. i have fuel and spark but nothing. i figured since a b16 and b17 are pretty much the same it was but a simple plug and play job. any ideas would be grateful

thanks much

 

start with compression and timing.

 

ya thats where i was going to start. a friend is bringing me a gauge later today. i sure timing good i mean its a honda cant really go wrong there. i was thinking that i might not be getting enough fuel pressure maybe, will be checking that later too. thanks for the ideas man

 

oh ya i dont know to much about apexi vafc but the car came with one. could it be that when the battary was d/c it reset itself? no clue gonna do more reading about them.

 

Not ignition timing, timing belt make sure it is not damaged on jumped.

 

VAFC should hold its tune

 

 

sorry last post was off my phone

The vafc did hold its tune. My timing belt is brand new and all my timing marks are good( oil pump and cam gear marks) still waitin on that compression gauge but that's where I'm at right now. Thanks much for all the input it help to have idea and thing I can eliminate.

 

is it possible that im not gettin enough spark? i checked all the grounds but would a bad ground cause it not to fire?

 

thermostat ground not connected?

 

this was my first thought^

 

ended up being compression after all. thanks for all the help pulled it back out puttin b16 back in tomorrow. now that i have mounts, would break axles and hook up better.
thanks to everyone

 

good luck
