yeah i redid the comp/ leak test today and got 165-170-172-167. i only turned it over like 3 times when i checked number one the other night. the compression seems to be fine now, but i'm not gettin spark. i'll be out of town for a week but getting back on this next monday. please keep postin suggestions

That compression doesnt sound to bad.Fix the spark issue then see how it runs.

yeah, i just gotta figure out what my spark issue is. it was running pretty good before the overheating occured. i doubt my cap and rotor just went out that quick. i'm thinking it's either gotta be the ignition module or the ignitor. gotta figure that out on tuesday when i'm home

also this may sound stupid, but i have done worse things...check your firing order and there are two ecu fuses in most hondas, at least in both my accords there are. one in the engine bay and one by the kick panel. they are 15's. check all your fuses. in addition in my f22b1 turbo cd7 i blew a radiator hose right after i bought the car. story goes, i put the turbo kit in for the kid, he ruined the car, i bought cheap, was driving home, let the turbo timer do its thing, then blew a hole in the upper radiator hose. luckily nothing bad happened to my new baby since i did a compression test and it was (from 1-4) 200 195 205 200. not bad for a car that ran 12 psi on uber and like 8 psi on a pos map bypass/fmu combo. i am currently keeping it at 7 psi until i drop this block into my cb7 and swap the beast im picking up today in the cd7. wow this went off topic.
back to the topic. if your headgasket is new, and your pistons and rings were freshly rebuilt, you will get low numbers on the initial compression test. like 160's. also, it would have been smart to have the head resurfaced since you will be boosting.

well i figured out why i wasn't getting spark. the little thing that pokes into the ignitor was broken off so the circuit was broken. i went and got a new cap and i'm gettin spark now, but the car isn't startin still. when i try to crank it, like every 3 times it'll do this really fast clickin noise from under the dashboard on the driver side.

i am getting a check engine in the gauge cluster, but there is no cel code, the light just stays dimly lit?

ur battery is low, jump it.

no the battery is fine, i was jumping it off while all this was happening. just tried to crank it again and the clicking noise is just really fast. also, i've been getting this noise from the fuel pressure regulator, like a vacuum leak. i pull off the hose that goes to the intake manifold and the leak noise is still going, but i cant feel anything from the hose.
