im gonna say right now, i overheated the motor, about 8 times, in one day.. got it home, fiixed the coolant leak i had and it was running great, i put it in the garage for the night, get up to get ready for work and it wont fire, it came close once but i cant get the bitch started

i tested compression, and altho it was a cold test the numbers were decent and close to eachother in reading..

so i've got compression, i've got spark, i've got fuel etc, everything required for it to run.. only thing thats catching my attention as a possable problem is my hondata has been on all the time for the last couple days

its a stock D16Z6
T3 42/48 at 12psi
hondata S200
RC550's
walbro pump
yadda yadda, basicly all supporting fuel mods with a good tune

if anyone has any ideas or suggestions of what to check or what could be my problem then please share, its my DD and i feel like a tard borrowing mommys car to goto work, plus its auto so i hate driveing it :1

are you getting good spark? checked your cap and rotor? did your plugs look alright? is the voltage in your battery where it needs to be? would your car start if you jumped it? is it getting fuel?

Anubis_4_99

yes, good spark, cap and rotor and distributor are brand new, less then a month old, battery was fine, killed it trying to start it though, getting fuel, plugs looked fine, and it still wouldnt start when i tried to jump it

did you take the cap off check the littl screw that holds the rotor on the shaft, happend to me once screw came ot stuck in the cap somewhere and i took the engine apart trying to figure out why it wouldnt start.

Anubis_4_99

i've got good spark so i doubt its the rotor, plus the dizzy, cap and rotor are all less then a month old

teg91

no im saying the screw that holds the rotor on can vibrate loose and then it spins on the rotorshaft so you get spark but not at the right time ie crank crank aw almost stared then crank crank nothing get it

Anubis_4_99

got ya, thanks i'll check that after i get home

teg91

alright lmk if it works i was so pissed when it happen to me 2 days of tearing down the motor for a ---- screw

Anubis_4_99
