I have a 99 B20b swapped 2000 ek converted to obd1, not cranking not starting has power I hear the fuel pump and headlights are good. Multi metered everything, starter is good battery good and all grounds are connected cleanly. Clutch safety switch has been bypassed for a while now. Don’t believe it’s the main relay because I can hear it click on. Is there anything I’m missing? My mind is blown.

I redid the oil pump seals because it was leaking and redid the timing but the timing is on perfect. If anyone has any suggestions please let me know

 

Attach a wire to the + battery post. Touch wire to starter solenoid pin. Does engine crank?

Is the G3 transmission ground wire clean and tight at both ends?

 

So you replaced the oil pump seal and timing belt and now it wont start?

Can you pop start it?

Not sure if your B20 has the crank sensor on the oil pump if so did you plug that back in? im still not sure if that would cause a no start..

Only other thing id suggest is double check the timing, are you 100% positive you put the Timing belt on and mech. timing is set ?

 

Not to say your suggestions aren't helpful, but, these points are rather moot if the car isn't even cranking. First things first, you have to get the car cranking over to see where you are at.

 

Well I think if he tries to pop start the engine it might start and he can go from there..I had a no crank issue once and couldn't figure it out starter tested fine when I jumped it but I could pop start the engine so I knew it had something to do with the starter and I ended up replacing it.

So what would be the problem if the car did crank, we just got to the point where we can actually start it and it's turning over and everything but it's not actually starting. We're even getting pops right out the exhaust. I'm putting a b20z2 into a 2000 civic, not sure if that would change anything. We tried to adjust the distributor, we re did the timing, starter works, battery is working, the only thing I can really think of is maybe like something with the idle screw or whatever. And what happens if the Crankshaft sensor isn't plugged in?
