I just got my CRX running after a neighbor backed into it a few weeks ago. I've been wandering around without a hood as I couldn't source one locally; I have one an hour away but as of yet have been unable to pick it up. With all the rain mon-tues... :/

My setup is an 89 CRX HF with B18B swap, turbo, AFC hack w/ chip.

I can get the car to start when it's cold, but it just floods if I try to restart it. I've verified fuel and spark. I have power and grounds at the ECU, and good engine/chassis/battery grounds.I have unplugged all underhood connectors, dried them out, and replugged them with silicone dielectric. No water made it inside the distributor cap, but I did have some in the plug recesses.

Anyone care to hazard a guess? I get medieval with it tomorrow and start doing all the nasty little component tests and verifying continuity on all wires.

 

i say you got water in the plug chambers. did you already check? with b series you can easily get water in it. where the plug wires are it's like a trench.

 

Yes, as I said I had water in the plug recesses. I dried them out to get the car running the first time... drove it across town to a friends house where it would not restart after sitting 15 minutes. I pulled all electrical connections apart and dried them then.

It started again this morning, I pulled it into a more convenient spot, shut it off, it promptly restarted three times in a row so I pronounced it fixed. I go to leave 5 minutes later and it will not restart.

 

hold up, you've been driving around w/ out a hood w a boosted crx
lol
how loud is the bov

 

The BOV is about as loud as it ever was. You can barely hear the Bosch standard whooshing over the Mack truck turbo whine... I run 15" of downpipe and nothing else.

 

ill sell you a crx hood for mad cheap... let me know.. its black with normal wear.
