Car wont start. B16A is getting fuel and spark....
 

Hey guys, I just put my b16A back in my CRX. It ran fine before I had to swap a piston out.

It is getting spark and fuel.

I have a CEL 6 for the ECT sensor. It broke from old age. Getting a new one tomorrow (or tonight if I get this bitch running). That wouldnt keep it from starting would it?

Crank to cam timing is correct. #1 cylinder TDC and cams pointed/lined up (arrow up)

I cant think of a damn thing that could keep it from starting. It wont even fire for some reason. It just turns over and over like its a timing issue, but I checked and rechecked that.

ANyone got any ideas?

TIA!

Check your compression. I dunno seems like yah swapped out pistons I would check compression seeing you changed out the pistons.

Injectors are clogged. Getting them cleaned in the morning. It should start after that. They were all clogged :l or at least frozen shut. They werent opening at all, and they had power. When I get it started and warmed up, I'll do a compression test.

Shouldnt I wait until the new rings seat to do a compression test for an accurate result? How many milesdoes it take for the rings to seat after a honing?

5 heavy throttle pulls from 20-50 mph. Not joking, varing load conditions is what seats the rings to the cyl walls.

Wow I thought that I was like the only person who knew that. Everytime I say that people are like no you dont dog a new or rebuilt motor. I am glad somebody else knows this.

OKAY. So, I got a new problem. The injectors werent clogged at all. They arent squirting for some other reason. They are getting power at all times. Is that normal? Any ideas?
