I PUT A D16Y7 HEAD ONTO MY D15B6 BLOCK BUT THE CAR WONT START NOW. IT HAS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE THE D15 INTAKE MANIFOLD ON IT RIGHT NOW SO EVERYTHING JUST PLUGGED IN. MOTOR TURNS OVER BUT WONT START. I CHECKED THE FUEL LINES AND PUMP. THE SPARK PLUGS ARE ALSO FINE. ALSO A FLAME SHOT OUT OF THE HEADER WHEN I TRIED TO START IT ONCE. IM NOT GOING TO MESS WITH IT UNTIL I FIND MORE OUT. ANY INFO WOULD HELP

Did you check to see if you are getting spark at the sparkplugs? Is your timing set right? All your connectors are plugged in? All grounds securely attached?

 

i was there with him trying to figure it all out. his grounds are all secure as far as i know the 3 that there are and he his getting spark i checked each plug on the dizzy by grounding it while he tryed turning it over. as far as the timing im not sure.

 

Set the motor with cylinder #1 at TDC. Then see if the cam gear is in it's correct position when it's supposed to be at TDC. Basically you need to see if the head and the bottom end are in correct timing with each other. If not, your car will not start.

 

yes... cuban b

EXACTLY, CHECK THIS AS YOU ALREADY STATED YOU CHECKED ALL THE OTHER THINGS AND THEY TURNED OUT OK. AND TAKE YOUR CAPS OFF CUZ YOU'RE YELLING

 

i have another question does he need to switch out to the d16y7's ecu or no?

Yeah, if its backfiring timing is off. Is your cap/rotor good?

 

Thanks for the info. Thanks for the diagram too, now i know where the caps lock button is.

 

I checked the timing and its fine. The car still wont start i dont know what else it could be.

 

fuel? Are the injectors hooked up? what injectors do you have in there?

 

i got the d15 injectors. they are all hooked up though. i think its something with the distributor

 

what distributor are you using? I'm not sure if it matters, but it is a possiblity.

You should use the same dizzy/ecu combo.

 

i used the d15 dizzy, i dont really know either. I'm so frustrated that im just giong to put a d15b in there. It will be faster anyways.

 

actually if its backfiring it doesnt nessacarily mean its off timing..... depending on if it backfires on the accel of decel it can be either fuel or spark...

 

you have the plug wires on the right spot on the cap?

 

ya the wires are on the right spot according to the manual hes using ...haynes =p

 

Is fuel getting to the injectors? Are there any codes on the ecu?

 

no codes that i know of and yes i would think fuel is getting to the injectors because it was shooting fuel outta the fuel rail when he forgot to put the washers on originally =p

 

ignitor could be bad in the distributor, or the wire going to the ignitor....I had that problem before, just had to resplice a wire.

 

i have no ecu codes but when i turn the distributor to the left it backfires more.
