Ok guys sorry if I'm posting in wrong place but I'm in dire need of some help. So the other day I was driving and suddenly my car starts losing power and shut off 5 min after . I pull off pop the hood and my motor mount bracket broke off. So I extracted the broken bolts and put a new bracket and mount but now car cranks but won't start, can somebody tell Me my next step I'm new to doing this stuff myself. I have a 92 civic with d16y7

 

What ECU for the D16Y7?

What specific mount broke?

With key in ON(II), does CEL stay on steady?

 

P28 and it was the driver side mount, and it always has the cel but ran fine for 2 years prior to this incident

 

Post a video of the CEL after you jump the service connector.

Check for bright white spark at the plugs.

Listen for whether the fuel pump primes.

 

I'm sorry if this seems dumb but Idk how to check for spark. but gas pump primes and makes the click

 

I'll never understand why people halfass their cars...

If your CEL is on, there is a problem. Pull ALL codes and post them. This is a requirement in the rules.

 

I bought the car like that and as I've stated I don't really know how to work with cars besides changing axles brakes and slave and master cylinders. Basic stuff. Sorry for the inconvenience I have showed upon you

 

And I believe the cel is a o2 sensor but as I've stated this is an ek motor in a eg hatch. I assume previous person didn't care about it since it ran and I was in desperate need of a car

 

I'm going to say this one more time.

Within that FAQ sticky, you will find this thread

Now please, stop making excuses, and go pull ALL of the codes. If you aren't 100% sure about the blinks, then make a video of them, upload it to Youtube, and post it here.

And while we're at it, a CEL should never be ignored. If the light is on, figure out why and fix it. If you don't fix the problem, and a new one pops up (as has happened to you), the CEL doesn't get brighter or anything, it's just there.

Don't halfass car ownership. Take care of your car.

 

Ok I know it's been awhile had to take a brake from it, but I tested spark, and fuel, has both I also did the timing thinkin it was that, so like a month ago, I got it to start a couple times but turned off immediately if I didn't hold gas, drove around for like ten min but was hesitant on me the whole time like it want to die/ lose of power, and after that day it never started again, thanks for any help

 

Pm me I can help

 

That's not how forums work. The entire purpose of forums is a free sharing of information. Doing things in PMs stops others from benefiting in the future, and also stops the checks and balances of hundreds of people reading, and with the amount of **** poor advice that gets thrown around here sometimes, we need those checks and balances.

Keep the tech out of PMs. And OP still hasn't pulled CELs, 4 months later.

 

Well like I said 4 months ago, this ecu and harness is for a z6 not a y7, I have learned a lot of things in the past 4 months but wires confuse me there's like 3 wires just hanging and have no idea what there for. If I need to get a new harness to get to be able to read codes what harness do I get? Or what ecu would I need?

 

Literally none of what you just said matters when it comes to pulling codes. I've already posted the links you need to read. I'm not posting them again.

 

Ok I understand, I'll pull codes in a bit, and I'll get back to you, sorry about the inconvenience

 

Pm'd you.

 

What part of "tech belongs in the forums, not in PMs" did you not understand the first time I said it to you, @Egkswap?

 

Sorry about not understanding last time, I feel real stupid haha, but I pulled codes 21,22,& 41 but I don't have vtec so I don't understand codes 21,22

 

Why are you using a P28 ECU, and not the correct ECU?

41 is easy - it's your O2 sensor.

 

The one connected to the header? And that's how I bought the car but I'll switch them out and source one if it'd that big of a problem. It's a p08 right? Would that even be the problem to why my car is not starting?

 

P2E my bad, but would that be the problem since my car has been running fine 2 years prior to this?

 

It may or may not be related, but given the clusterfuck of parts you have going on, getting the correct ECU would be a step in the right direction. Unfortunately, there is no stock ECU made for your combination. You need to get a socketted ECU, and a basemap for your motor. Xenocron is a good company to get both of those things from. The reason I'm saying get the correct ECU is because the OBD1 ECU that you're using, and the OBD2 motor that you have, do not share important things like timing, and injector size.

Second, your motor only needs a few things to run. Just to be sure, it's trying to crank, but isn't actually starting, right? Do a compression test and post the actual numbers for all four cylinders. While you're doing that, buy/borrow/rent an HEI spark tester, use it, and tell us what color your spark is at all four plugs.

 

Alright appreciate it man, I'll get back to you on that!!
