I just got my dsm turbo all hooked up on my 1997 civic hatchback (D16y7). Everything seems to be working fine however, the car doesn't start. There is sparks, there is gas going into the engine but the car doesn't want to start. At first I thought it was my DSM injector so I took it out and put the stock one on just to see if it would start but it still didn't work, could it be my ECU? How can you tell if you have a bad ECU. Thanks in advance

 

Why does everyone blame the computer? If it wont start/idle on ONE injector, we probably cant help you

 

sounds like you do not know what your doing. would that be correct ?

 

how is everythign workign correctly if it wont even start?

post your whole setup and you will get better help

 

check all your wiring? use some starter fluiding..

 

Are you using a missing link or check valves...?

 

retrace your steps.. simply bolting on a turbo won't keep a normally fine engine from starting. What else did you do?

i would go over everything you happened to move and go from there. Maybe you simply left something unplugged or accidentally shorted something and blew a fuse.

 

Okay, I did not hear anything about tuning. If you just wire up DSM injectors trying to use your stock program... it ain't gonna start and if it does... not for long. Your stock program does not know how to run those bigger injectors. You need to get a chipped OBD1 ECU and then a OBD2 to 1 jumper harness. They are super cheap.

 

You can get those adapter harnesses on Ebay for like $90. Or you can order them from Xenocron. Also, those DSM injectors are peak and hold so you need a resistor box. Believe me, I have a 4G63 in my Colt. Even if your ECU doesn't know how to control those injectors if you had a resistor box it would still start, it just wouldn't idle or run well.
