Civic wagon died while test driving
I have a 4wd wagovan, comes with D16a6 mpfi. I did a mini swap( z6 head nd im), used obd 0 to 1 jumper harness. I wired everything correctly. Anyways, i drove around for about 20mins, my wago ran weird, like it was "trying" too hard to accelerate, cant really explain. Then i made a left turn at a light and the car died on me and didnt start up again. Starter kicks in, fuel pump too. Checked all fuses, so i thought it was the dizzy( cuz i tested for spark using a spark plug attached to the spark wire, nothing)bought a tested one and still nothing. What could it be? Bad timing? Also the spark plug was burnt at the tip what does that mean? I used everything new( head gasket, valve cover gasket, wires, plugs etc). Also the car had like one and a half year old gas in it i never tookit out, i just put new gas and those gas cleaner things in it, so idk if that messed up my fuel lines or whatever. Any help is greatly appreciated!
If you were running old gas, your fuel filter might have clogged. Spray some carb-cleaner in the intake and see if it starts to fire. If it does, your not getting fuel.
Yeah i didnt double check my timing. Like i had the bottom crank lined perfect with the oil pump arrow, but the z6 timing belt was such a tight fit, as i was pulling it over the cam gear i feel like the crank might have moved a few teeth. But it still started up, just idled funny for a while... But could the burnt plugs mean my timing was way off?
