My cousin and I installed a used motor into the accord. The motor cranks but won't turnover. All 4 cylinders all sparks going into it. Sometimes, it would turnover for about 2 seconds then die. Compression numbers:

Cylinder 1: 180
Cylinder 2: 155
Cylinder 3: 160
Cylinder 4: 180

 

when you say crank, thats the same as turn over.
you mean won't fire up. check you firing order. check timing. check for fuel

 

Yeah, sorry. That's what I meant. I took off the distrubitor to put on the new motor but never took out the plugs on the cap so they should be in order. There should be fuel. I forgot to hook up the fuel line and when I connected the battery, fuel dripped all over the driveway. Will have to check timing again.

 

I don't know if this will help, but whenever we do a swap, right before we start, we make sure and prime the fuel system a couple of times to make sure theres plenty of fuel.

Also, check ALL of your grounds. That's usually the won't start culprit.

 

How many different grounds are there?

Tranny, motor, thermostat....

 

You think it could be the timing?

 

any code from the ECU.

 

check ignitor too

 

No codes. I don't think it's the ignitor seeing that I've got sparks coming from all spark plug wires.
