im stomped... new problem!! help!! rough idle/wont start/tried everything!!
 

i havent started my turbo b18b turbo civic for a good week since i was somewhat on vacation

here's my set up

b18b
arp rod bolts
ported/polish head
jg mani/itr tb

turbo set
t3/t4 turbo
drag mani/2.5" dp/ 2.5" striaght pipe etc
440rc/crome tunned


when i got back home, i wanted to warm up my car then go pick up my girl
it started fine the first time.. and held idle very low, around 400-500rpms
then when i try to give it a little gas, rpm's goes up VERY slow even at FT i could barely try to get it to 3k's rpm's like if it was running on 2-3 cycl, it would barely move.. i turned the car off, and tried to turn it on again.. this time.. it just cranked and cranked and wont turn on anymore.

im stomped.... i cant figure it out..

there was no CEL, so i really didnt know where to start...
first i thought it could possibly a bad map sensor, i had an extra one so i swithced it and gave it a try.
same car just cranked and cranked wont start anymore.

i then checked the voltage for both map and tps.. both are to specs. so i know they're good.

car is getting fuel...
40psi on my b&m guage/str rail/new fuel filter/255lph walbro

i checked the timing belt/cam timing.. looks good. timing is good

pulled the plugs out, slapped a screw driver in and held it to chassi to see if it gets sparks..
and it did on all 4 cycl

so then i thought it could be worse so i...
did a compression test, i got great numbers across at 170across COLD
BTW, i took the 15 fuse from the engine bay ECU fuse (so it wont hurt my dizzy)

then i looked at the spark plugs.. they look normal, but smelled like gas, i then cleaned them up and put them back in, gapped at .28 with bkr7es..

checked all the fuses once again, underdash/engine bay to see if there was any blown fuse IE Ignition etc..
NONE

i re checked all vacum lines/wires/etc etc... nothing seem abnormal..

car ran fine before i locked it up in the garaged before i left
im stomped and i really dont know what the problem could be...

any help or any imputs would be nice

Ok...so you're getting spark and fuel...for sure? The sparks smelling like fuel = injectors work? If it started at all, or made an effort to turn over, a silly problem could be the FITV bieng closed all the way...I think not...Ill think about it and get back to you, bored as ---- in study hall man, good luck.

i think you mean stumped, not stomped, if your stomped you've got a whole new set of problems...

Re: im stomped... new problem!! help!! rough idle/wont start/tried everything!!
 

Has this car run good before, with the same setup? Has it been tuned at all?

Get a wideband on that thing. Sounds to me like you got way too much fuel going in.

Re: im stomped... new problem!! help!! rough idle/wont start/tried everything!!
 

my guess would be an injector is stuck open

Re: im stomped... new problem!! help!! rough idle/wont start/tried everything!!
 

the car is tunned. and car was running perfectly fine before.

FITV, i dont think i have that on my trottle body.

im not sure how to tell if the injectors are stuck open or not, i somewhat think they are though. because when i crank it, it almost starts the car up, but then it fells like it chokes and dies. and then it keeps on turning over and over...

=/ anyone?

Re: im stomped... new problem!! help!! rough idle/wont start/tried everything!!
 

im going to tell my friend to come over
he has a 95 integra ls, obd-1 stock
so im going to swith to stock injectors and stock ecu and see if it would crank over and start
i wont be doing this till tommorow since he said he's getting off work real late today

any imputs??

Re: im stomped... new problem!! help!! rough idle/wont start/tried everything!!
 

my friend had a similar issue with his acord was geting spark and the car would run for a while the it cut out. turned out the distributor was dead. cheap fix. Just a thought

I Had The Same With My Gsr Try Unplugging The Ecu For 30 Seconds Then Plug It Back In What Ecu Are U Running
