Ok so this is my last hope of figuring this out . I have a 92 teg gs my brother gave me it's been sitting for about 10 years, no matter what I do I cant get it started. new battery. dropped the tank and flushed it put new gas. fuel pump is golden, it engages circulates. New fuel filter and injectors. Tested them according to my haynes manual and that's all in spec so I know it's getting fuel. Even tested the pressure regulator. Pulled the cap and the distributor looks fine. Lightly sanded points with super fine grit , no real wear on the rotor. Checked all the plugs and wires and they are def creating spark. Did a compression test and all cyls are building 185 psi consistantly.. brand new expensive *** OEM ecu, matched according to my vin number. Main relay fine ignition relay changed... I dropped the cat and can feel air comming out the exhaust manifold when I crank.. the only thing I can possibly think it might be is an old bees nest or something in the intake manifold and I have that 90% out to check but my old lady was calling me in because it was late and she was tired of me not being in bed. Lol . Honestly I've tested everything I can think of and still failure 😞 I just hope that there is some integra wizard here that can help me get this bad boy up and going. It's a very sentimental vehicle to me. Me and my brother crashed a motorcycle at 80 and lived through it after a night of frustratingly not being able to start it 10 years ago and it would just mean the world if I could hear it start up

 

tested for spark?
bad coil and or ignition control module are top 2 crank but no start culprits.

Yea check or try and new coil in the distributor! I bet the coil is week! most likely the problem. Check all the fuses and last I would take off the valve cover and rotate the engine by hand to TDC and just look at the cams and make sure the cams line up and didn't skip timing,

 

yeah man cams are good I already had the valve cover off and checked them, distributor is in good shape everything looks golden and hits the right resistance according to spec in the manual. I checked the fuses before I checked anything else and they are golden 😣 I did manage to pull the manifold and one of the runners was plugged to **** so i got my fingers crossed that when I put it back this weekend she starts !

 

exhaust manifold or Intake manifold? those should never get plugged at all! what is it plugged with ? carbon ?

 

Yeah intake manifold was clogged with carbon, I cleaned and put back still no start this thing is killing me

 

How did you check for spark? I willing to bet you have a weak spark! try a known working ignition coil and put it in and try it!

 

yeah its def getting good spark to the plugs but I just noticed today the timing is off!! When I'm on tdc on cyl 1 on the compression stage, the rotor is in between the pins of cyl one and 3 so that's def an issue, I just dont know if there is a way to adjust that in the distributor or if I need a new one completly

 

Well the last thing I told you was to check that! your cams skipped a tooth or two like I thought. You don't adjust that with the distributor! you must re set the timing belt and hope the head didn't bend any valves. Best thing to do is reset it, and hand rotate the engine a few times and make sure it lands back at TDC. Then start it and it should start and if so grab your timing gun light and set the ignition timing to spec! if it don't you most likely have bent valves and will need to get the head rebuilt.

 

thanks a lot for your help!!! When I checked the distributor the first time everything looked good and happy in there but when I set it to tdc is when I saw the rotor was completly missing! I will def get back after it this weekend and see what I can do! I'll keep you guys updated!!! I was planning on doing a full rebuild of the engine anyways but if I need to do head work then it looks like that will happen a lot sooner 😅 thanks again!!!!
