on my way home from p.a tonight and i noticed a whooping bog in my b16a.. i went all day no problems.. i get home to d.c and 2 blocks before i get home.. a hesitation a pause and a bang.. and then she went to the road side..

2 things.. i just did a valve adjustment.. set to the right spec and done by my lead tech @ acura.. so i know its solid.. 2 i almost ran out of gas till i got to my friends house.. there we put in like 1/2 gallon of regular fuel.. i allways burn 93-94 if im near sunoco.. the car hasnt jumped timing t belt is ok.. no weird engine noises..

the exhaust is shaking wildly with a small hint of white coolant.. im thinking head gasket. but it still wants to start..

where should i start.. shes still on the side of the road.??

please help

 

i would start by towing her home so she doesnt get impounded or broken into.

 

mine has done that twice now, on two diff engines, the first time i had a retainer break and the car went dead obv. because of the hole in the piston. the second time it was becase my brand new rotor button broke and locked up the dist. check codes also see if anything is showing, but im assuming its still able to start up and run on its own power so its probably not either the previous causes

 

its got compression,fuel,spark....backfires alot.. wont start,no codes
i have no idea.. im thiunking its timing.. but im going out again now..please help

 

Check the timing and take the distributor cap off and see if everything looks ok in there.
