Ok I posted a thread where I could not crank my b16..i finally got it to crank but now it won't start. I am getting spark...i thought my ignition was bad so i changed the distributor and still nothing. I have fuel pressure. My fuel filter was changed and fuel pump also. Injectors are getting pulse and they are good. Car cranks but won't start. Battery is good. Made new ground connections and added a few more. Ecu is also good...checked exhaust to make sure its not clogged and still nothing. What the heck could it be. Can anyone suggest something different for me to check....please don't tell me to check again what I have already done because i have done everything millions of time...don't mean to sound like an *** but I am on foot...it's late, and i need my car for work and school...i know you guys understand....please help...checked both ingitors...changed wires and plugs too...walked the motor and its good...oil level is good...timing is good...did not skip any teeth...everything is TCD also...clutch engages fine too

 

I'm assuming you've done a compression check right? That would be my only guess since you listed spark/fuel/timing being ok.

I was thinking that it might be compression too

 

Actually I have not done a compression test....I guess I over looked that part. But when I do a compression test.,...if I do not get any compression or l get very low compression then what does that mean and how can i fix it?

 

Is it flooded?

 

na its not....

 

When you do the test if you get a 0 reading or extremely low its most likely a bent valve. It could also be major scouring on the cyl walls or completely gone piston rings. If you get low readings try adding a cap-full of oil into the cylinder and re-test. If it goes up then your rings are bad. If not its probably a valve seal. If you do get low numbers you better pray its valve seals, much more simple and cheaper to replace.

 

Good thing my valves are in good shape...checked the compression and its good...buttt I took my fuel rail out and noticed injector #1 is cracked...could that be why the car won't start...maybe when i put the ignition on position #2 injector #1 drowns the pistons before I can crank the car and then it won't start...i noticed that overnight the spark plug was still wet and that was the only one...2-3-4 were a little wet but not as much as #1...what do you guys think?

I thought you said it wasn't flooded.

I was wrong...can't see much in the dark...sorry bro...so you think that might be it?...still waiting on a friend to come by with his car so i can test mine with one of his injectors

 

Ok so let me ask this...i have some prelude injectors 345cc which i can't put on my car because it will drown...i had them on my other car (turbo setup)...what if I put one prelude injector and leave the other ones stock...i believe the b16 are 240cc and the preludes i know they are 345cc...what would happen?...can i run the car with three 240cc injectors and one 345cc?...will it cause any bad idle or bad run on the car?

 

it could be any of these things/do you have gas?hehe..ok/check battery and connections/leaking fuel injectors or any fuel leaks/ignition components damaged/worn or faulty spark plugs/broken or loose wiring in the starting circuit/broken or loose wiring at the coil or faulty coil...good luck

 

yeah thats section two on the haynes manual...lol...i checked all of that and found one cracked injector

 

lol..well i tried bro..

 

Yo guys dammit i am happy....hahahahahahahaha...i put in my prelude injectors because i had the 240cc stock injector #1 was damaged. As you know if I put 1 345cc and leave the other 3 240cc in there it would throw the ecu off...so i changed it just to see if the car would start and that **** came back up...finally...so that cracked injector had a lot to di with it...i am going to change the spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor today again because when i get to about 5k rpm it puddles...so i might need a tune-up..other than that im back on the road and i can finally continue breaking in my fully built b16a1....thanks to all..oh and by the way i need to get some 240cc again because these baby's are huge and im flooding...i am not running turbo yet

 

Hooray! Good to hear it, man Do you still have the smoke/dust comin out of the throttle body?
