well i raced this guy last night, i beat him but then when i let off the gas the car just turned off. i pull over thinkin i blew her. no oil anywhere. so im like ok. i try to start and it wont start. doesnt sound like its compressing. well today i tow it to my buddies house and we check compressioin, spark, fuel, timing belt. all seems to be good. its a b16a 1st gen stock block, custom kit, boostin 7 psi. was tuned at 6 psi made 230 153trq. i took the plugs out and there was fuel all over them. seems like my timing is probably off. how can i check the dizzy? any body got any suggestions? if anyone can come down and take a look at it id appreaciate it ($$)

im in fountain valley if you can come gimme a call at 714-679-9602 thanks

 

up

 

Do you have spark? It sounds like your not getting any spark, and thats why your plugs are covered in fuel. Pull your plug wire out a bit when cranking to see if it arcs, if not thats your problem

 

i havent checked the spark at the plug but i checked it coming out of the dizzy. and i am getting spark. maybe the prob is in the wires? but i highly doubt that all the wires went bad at the same time. i will check it out though. any way to check if my dizzy is off? thanks for the help

 

Timing belt slipped, probably. Take off your valve cover and see if your cam gears are where they should be, and check that the belt is at the proper tension.

 

the belt is a tiny bit loose but the aem cam gears are right on.

 

well i swapped out the dizzy with one i knew worked and nada, i am getting spark at the plug. could it be some sensor? i will pay somebody to come fix it. i need this car running asap. thanks

 

what was the numbers of the comp test

 

Is this the civic that you just bought?

 

yep just bought her. dont have compession numbers yet.

 

did you see smoke in the rearview? also you need to get that thing comression tested. if you have fuel and spark ,and your timing is ok it may be blown. also you should check your oil to see if you have any water in it.

 

i did see smoke in the rear view but im almost positive that it was from peeling out through 2nd gear. cuz i shut it down soon after i shifted into 3rd. and i usually see a good amount of smoke from not getting any damm traction. no bubbles in my radiator so im sure i didnt blow my HG. i do have spark but timing may be off. could it be some sensor? ima take it to a shop today see if they can fix the problem. but if anybody else has any ideas please let me know.
