Well I burnt a valve bought a month ago on the way to a honda-tech meet. I start putting another LS motor in my car saturday and finished last night. The car started up and seemed to run ok. I drove it very little sorta easing into. It is turbo. I have a new wastegate spring also and I did forget to reset the boost controller. So when I got on it one time... it seem to what I think was detonation or something. then the car cut off.

Now all it will do is turn over. It gets spark. It has fuel. New cap and rotor, new coil. NO CEL!

WHATS THE problem.

If you guess it right I will paypal you $10. NO JOKE. I am desperate to get my car running. And I figure maybe I will get some more responses if I offer $10.

Thank ahead of time

 

check the compression, It takes spark, fuel, and compression to get a running engine

 

What would cause me to loose compression in all cylinders? Or would loosing compresion in just one cylinder cause the engine not to run?

 

Try checking your timing. May help. You also have to have air to have a running engine, so you might make sure nothing is clogging up your intake or possily something in the throttle body. I dunno, just throwing out some possibilities.

 

Compression is going from #1-4 130, 165, 160, 160

How do you tell if you have a burnt valve? Can you tell while driving? What causes it?
i'm trying to get edumacated

 

Check your map sensor, also check to see if you possibly blew out something. Maybe your iac or something along those lines.
How do your spark plugs look?

 

Check your underhood fusebox. In there take a look at the fuse that is labeled FI E/M. If its burnt, that should be why your car keeps turning over but wont start.

will do, just need to find a fuse box cover

 

You broke ringlands and/or rings

 

Idle air control. Sits on the back of the intake manifold.

Its the first fuse(15) on the top left next to the backup fuse(7.5)

When you crack ringlands, it's very hard to start the car (if it even starts.) Which cylinder was low on compression?
