just swappd in new itr motor and it started right up...now after 128 miles of break in parked in the garage tried to start it up for a drive but no go....waited five minutes and then it started right up, came back home turn it off and tried to start it again but no go...what gives?? i checked all the grounds on the battery, starter, and altenator......nothing seems out of place.....i check the voltage of the battery and altenator and it's good...what else could it be???

 

bad distributor?

bad plugs?

bad wires?

dont forget the ground wire that goes from the tranny to the frame, i seen one loose before and the car wouldnt start.

 

that really sounds like a ground problem to me since i have had the same prob and that turned out to be what it was

 

the tranny ground is on nice and tight....humm????

 

Damn sounds like a bad coil (or in the process of dying), swap with a friend to see.....

 

it might be your ecu program or vafc... i have a jdm itr swap and used the spoon map at first, it would never start up on the first try... i thought it was something bad with the starter, we checked everything else. we decided to burn the mugen program into the hondata after about 2 weeks.

it always starts up on the first crank now and idles very nice, it had nothing to do with the motor it was the ecu settings.

 

Bad relay

 

i have kenji skunk program burn and vafc before it started up fine...how could i ckeck to know if that is my problem??

 

most likely to be your distributor, bad coil or ignator ...

 

but if it was to be my distibutor shouldn't my starter still try and turn the fly wheel??? i turn the key and nothing happens not ven an click

 

Oh thats a different story. Just had the same problem, go down to where to starter wires are and check first to make sure that the one with the 14mm nut is tight, then make sure that a small slide on connector is on the end of the starter. The small one was off on our car and it acted the same way.
