Default 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 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?
