fuelpump went byebye, and you have low compression.

Re: b16a wont start please help!!!
 
its getting gas but i think maybe to much , if the fuel pump is bad will it pump to much gas or no gas at all?

Re: b16a wont start please help!!!
 
regulator limits the fuel, fuelpump supplies teh fuel. ask john maddon to draw this for you.

Did you check the VTAK fluid?

how did you do the compression test those numbers are stupid low. Make sure you pull all the plugs, hook up the gauge, make sure the throttle is open all the way and crank it 4-5 times, and repeat for every cylinder. You should get over 200 psi with a good gauge.

did you check your distributor cap and rotor?? I had mine die like that once, it was because i had gotten some moisture inside the cap from it having a shitty old gasket

He didn't have it at WOT.

I figured it might be the coil, they usually up and die and will still give you spark in open air.

hondas are notorious for bad ignitors, but it's usually a good idea to replace them as a set. Also main relays but it doesn't sound like that's whats going on here.

do you guys read? The ignitor is in the dizzy, which he replaced. Main relays do go bad all the ------- time, but it wouldnt have fuel or spark if that was the case. It also says in the first post he checked the t-belt already... Holding the throttle wide open will only give you another 10-15psi. A cyl leakdown test will tell you where the low compression is coming from. Take the schrader valve out of the bottom of your compression tester (you'll need a special screwdriver for this) and hook it right up to an air compressor with the regulator set around 70psi. Pull the dipstick, rad cap, and intake pipe before you hook up the compressor. After you start pumping air into the cyl, listen for leaks at the dipstick, the opened throttlebody, out the back of the muffler, and then look for bubbles in the coolant in the rad.

When you identify your leak(s), heres what is wrong:

air coming from-

throttle body = bent intake valve(s)

exhaust = bent exhaust valve(s)

dipstick = beat rings

bubbles in the coolant = beat head gasket

your lucky im bored... good luck!
