Man I am at a total stand still trying to figure out why this motor won't fire up. I am running a JDM h22a with the original JDM internal coil distributor. The wire harness I used is from my F22B1 original motor with sensors and wires lengthened. The distriputor wiring was crossed refrenced and wired up to accomodate the difference in years. We know for a fact the distributor wiring is configured right. I am also using the JDM P13 ecu that came with the motor. Since my car was OBD2, i purchased a wiring harness that converts my OBD2 to an OBD. At this point, I am basically looking for some troubleshooting steps I could take to determine why the motor turns over, but I am not getting any fire to my plugs.

Advice thus far:
1. Could be the ignitor or internarl coil, may need to replace either or or both.
2. May have to convert JDM internal coil to US external coil from a 93-95 prelude.
3. Check the OBD2 to 1 Conversion harness and make sure pins/wires are in correct place.

Question:
How in the world does one hook this JDM distrutor up to work? Am I missing something?

 

if the harness your using is usdm then it would be easier to get the external coil distributor and coil instead of relying on rewiring the jdm one. but it does sound like theres something wrong with the distributor since your not gettin spark but everything else. re check all the wiring to the distributor, cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and if none of that works...try a new distributor. theres a guy on ebay (or this http://www.distributorking.com) that sells brand new ones for 180 and they come wiht a 1 yr warrany.

So there is no spark? Do you have any CEL codes?

If I misunderstand your post and the distributor is working, check that the spark wires are hooked up right. You can check the firing order in the helm. Also, you must use the JDM distributor cap to use internal coil (or else modify a US external coil cap).

If the ignition seems to be hooked up right, then check the fuel. Is there fuel pressure, are the injectors firing or is it flooded maybe (injector stuck open/closed)?

If there is fuel and ignition, check cam timing maybe. Hard to say more without more info. Good luck...
