ok here's the problem...my friend brought his car to a mechanic to drop in a stock d16a6 motor from another crx into his....everything is wired up but it wont start....it will turn over but no spark...there is also an extra connector on the shock tower...its four wires...2 black and yellow wires, 1 red and 1 green .....im not sure if thats a important connector or not....we also put in a new distributor....any help will do...thanks

 

CHECK THE FUSES

 

which fuses...the ones in the engine bay...if so...i checked it already and its fine

 

help

 

Soo.. if you paid someone to put in the motor.. shouldnt that person be able to fix it for you??

 

well he couldnt fix.....he said it was an electrical problem and he couldnt do it...

 

so what you have is a new dizzy with no spark?

 

Well, I sure as hell hope he took some money off if hes a mechanic and he can't fix it...

 

You need to elaborate on the problem more, it could just be somthing stupid like a blown fuse or two, the firewire may be wired wrong, plugs may be bad, hell, it might even be your battery!!

 

As a matter of fact, from what I just re-read... It's probably the fire wire.

 

which one is the fire wire?...can yall guys give me a picture of wut yall talkin bout also...thanks

 

Somethings you should check:
1)Grounds-make sure that they are all nice and secure, especially the one on the thermostat.
2)Sparkplug wires-are they in the right firing order? good condition?
3)Sparkplugs-condition? Need to be changed?
4)Distributor-Connectors plugged in? Timing?

Was the car previously a DPFI model (DX)?

 

get a wiring diagram...ignition system circuit
