Hi guys, I've just finish putting a mini-me in my 90 civic. I put the ignition to ON and everything seems fine, fuel pump pressurizes, battery at 12.** volts, etc.
When I try to crank it, there's a loud "bang" from the engine bay and then no power wathsoever, battery voltage drops to 6 volts and there no more juice for accessories and lights
I wiggle then harness and take out/put back the neg on the battery and the whole charade starts again. I check my fuses and there all ok, the problem happens again and again.

I figured it was either a bad short or ground

Apart for that, any ideas on what it could be. This car has to run before snow falls (which was yesterday here)

Thanks

ttt need help guys come on

 

I would double check your timing I'm not sure if this is your problem but I would check it anyways. Also make sure you have the right ecu for the job.

 

I'm using a P28 with a Blown90hatch OBD-1 conversion kit and the cam timing has been checked about six times...
I didn't get the chance to set up ignition timing since the car hasn't been running but I put the distributor in as fairly conservative position so I don't think that it is it.

 

Any other ideas?

 

sounds like an electrical problem so the first thig I would do is check your grounds, and then check to see if there is anything shorting out somewhere...
