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???

 

did you install the distributor correctly ..
and the wires too?

 

yes the distributor is installed correctly and so are the wires...any other ideas?

 

So your fuel pump is good, you have fuel pressure... But are your injectors firing? Do they have +12v power at each injector plug?

 

When you turn the ignition on does the CEL come on for a couple seconds and then go off ???.....3gdude

 

check to see if you blew your ignition fuse.. it should be in your engine bay fuse box

yes the injectors are firing and I do get a CEL when i turn the ignition on but then after a few seconds it turns right off...my ignition fuse is good also

 

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?

 

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.

 

CHECK YOU MAIN RELAY I HAVE A 92 INTEGRA LS VTEC AND IT DID THE SAME THING. ITS UNDER THE DASH AND TAKES A 10MM SOCKET TO REMOVE IT.AND IT SAYS SOMETHING LIKE MITSUBA ON IT AND ITS BROWN COLORED OR BLACK REPLACE THAT AND YOU SHOULD BE GOOD.THATS WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE TO ME ......

 

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

 

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.
