I installed a 1997 H22A in my 92 si. I am using a modified prelude distributor (1997 OBD2 converted to OBD1). When I crank the car, it doesn't want to start. It seems like there is something preventing the crank from turning. When I remove the spark plug wires from the distributor and crank the car, it cranks freely. I think that it may be the distributor. Does anyone know what it may be? Has anyone modified the OBD2 distributor to OBD1?

make sure u got the back of the dizzy matched up the same way w/ the cam

 

i got the dizzy lined up.

 

Firing order!!!! or check your TDC,CPK,CYP sensor wires they might be switched example say orange connected to white wire.

 

are you getting spark. we just put my vtec f22 into my freinds accord dx and we had to modify the wiring harness to produce spark on the dirtibutor. If you car wasnt vtec before swap you might have same problem.

 

i figured out what is was.
i got one of my buddys jdm dist. and plugged it on and....whamp...it fired up.
so i am now just waiting on a dist.thanks alot guys for all the assistance.
i'll keep you guys posted on how it runs.

 

dammit i am having the same problems except my car is a 97 honda accord lx i blew my h22a block so i went out and got a 93 h23a long block from the junkyard runs and everything it was a automatic so long story short we used everything from the h22a distributor , power steering , alternator etc thermostat and thermo housing and the damn thing will not turn over i mean it cranks but the coil is getting no spark we believe the wiring that we did might be wrong does anyone have a wiring diagram for a h23 vtec ???? or is it the same as a h22a ???? guess if i was you with the prelude si it would be ok because you are going from a obd I harness to a obdI block and obd II head help help help
