I have a 93 prelude wit a 99 engine swap my distributor went bad I took out the old one and replaced it wit a new one but now it wont start. I didnt move anything don't understand what I did wrong please help

 

My engine is h22a4

 

Did you replace it with the right dizzy? Obd1 and 2 h22 dizzys are different. How is your car wired? Obd1 or 2?

 

Obd2 yes its the correct one. They both look alike but the internal modules r different they obd 1 only has 2 modules the obd 2 has 3 modules the new one its identical to the old one

 

I'd be leaning to a defective dizzy if that is the only thing you touched.

 

Is there any possibility my timmin might b off?

 

It should still start, the slot is offset on the cam so it should be impossible to put it in 180 degrees out. And rotating the dizzy only gives a limited amout of asvance/retard and it should run max/min anyways. Try rotating it to see if it starts and check for spark... If nothing, try running it with your old dizzy. What was wrong with your old one?

 

And the age old question, are the wires on in the right sequence?

 

The wires are on sequence and on my old one the shaft came loose so it messed up my rotor and cap

 

Spark?

 

Spark is there Its confusing I dont understand what could be wrong

 

Ya it's not making much sense. Double check your wire sequence. Was it running fine before you swapped the old one?

 

Yes it was running fine until the old one broke and the car died on me towed it home swaped it and nutin

 

Pull it off and check the condition of the notch in the cam.

 

I did that it.seems fine only thing I can think of is defective dizzy I already went and ordered another one hopefully dat will b the problem

 

make sure that your contacts on the rotor are good. Plus make sure that the dis is spinning properly

 

Cap and Rotor are new and it seems to b spinning properly

 

Did you plug the connectors in ?.......all the way ?

 

Yup double.checked that and also replace the ignition coil I thought that might be it but nutin

 

ok if your getting spark and the gears are aligned correctly the only things left are fuel and air. Are you getting fuel into the system at all and also is your tb working and giving enough air to the car

 

The tb works fine I have gas. How do I check if the gears are aligned? I don't think they moved since I didn't move any thing other than the dizzy

 

on the cam gears you have to lines 1 on each gear. those should be aligned together when they come around to top dead center.

What I meant by fuel is that if your getting fuel into the system or ie pressure

 

Do you have to align the gears everytime u change the dizzy?

Yes I get fuel in the system

 

Are you even sure that the dizzy was your original problem to begin with

 

Yes the shaft on the dizzy came loose I don't know how but it was girndin inside the dizzy
