Car won't start
Ok my friends car won't start. He has a 92 LS. He got a new dtributor and nothing, we are getting spark, the plugs are good, the ecu is good, the timing is good, we have fuel pressure, the starter is good, the fuel pump is good...we have no clue what else it could be...any ideas???

Is the motor doing anything when you try to turn it over? You are %100 sure that your wires are connected properly, to each cylinder?

Re: Car won't start (SpyderZEX)
yeah the motor turns over but won't start up...everything is wired up fine...its just being a biatchhh. I think this problem might be related to the distributor because this is the 4th distributor we go through in less than 1 year and I have another friend that went through the same thing when he had his 91 ls also. I think it might be something with this gen.

Re: Car won't start (peezgarage)
What method did you use to check for spark? And what kind of spark plugs do you have in it?.....Also early Integra distributors had problems with the bearings going bad in the distributor. If they were bad enough and momentarily locked up, the timing belt was prone to jump a few teeth. Do the plugs come out wet after an attempted start?.....3gdude

Re: Car won't start (3gdude)
i used the screw driver on the valve cover method. also i use ngk plugs,and yes the plugs sometimes can be wet but its not always a way to diagnose a problem.
