Hi,
91 honda CRX
History:d15b7 block d15b2 head, BOTH fully redone. head and deck got leveled/milled. Everything is fine in that area.

Problem: Can't get her to start and stay running! She'll attempt to run, but I've only had her run(like a dog) for a few seconds, stopped it to retime it and no luck ever again.

Facts: I do have: spark, fuel, "compression", #1 @TDC, cam&dizzy at proper markings, firing order 1-3-4-2, I do have that connection under pass. dash jumpped with wire.

Factors: Brand NEW head gasket and pistons&rings, bearings, timing belt, belt tentioner.....................Please help me!!!

Peace
Synth

 

you say you have fuel, but are the injectors spraying? and is there enough fuel pressure?

I've had her running before only for a few seconds on her own will power. And I do have fuel pressure from what I can tell. I pull the plugs out and I'll smell the fuel without a problem.


For the general record, I will be doing a compression test in the morning

 

Any CEL's?

CEL's??? Whats that?

Few days ago I check the resistance of my injectors, one was a little out of spec(too high), any possibility?

 

If you mean throwing a code, i'm throwing a believe a 10 air intake temp. 91honda crx dpfi dx.


Now that i think about it, COULD me not having the oil pressure senser hooked up anymore, be a problem? I'm using a mech. oil pressure gauge, so i know exactly whats going down. Same goes for water temp

 

could have fried an injector? possibly...as for the oil pressure, it would run w/o it hooked up.

I had the same problem, i had a postive wire hit my cars negative and it burned up one of my injectors started for a sec then died. also had blown fuses

They don't make a metric T fitting to run the OE oil pressure hardware. I AM running a mech. gauge for oil pressure. The OE hardware only tells you if you do or don't have pressure, and not how much PSI, thats what I switched

OE oil psi sensor and after market!

I think you mean http://www.tunertoys.com/, the web add. with the z at the end does not work.

 

BTW, Thanks man! pretty sweet someone offers a metric T, once the rex runs, i'll order it.

Be sure you do have pressure, fuel remaining in the rail will be released by the injectors and let the motor run for a litle bit but once thats gone the motor will no longer run. I've had my car start up for about 5 sec then wouldnt run again and I hadnt tightened down the banjo bolt on my filter. Try starting it with starting fluid and if it will run then, you have a fuel problem.
