fuel pressure seems to be fine, disconnected the fuel line from the filter, put the ignition to on, and it sprayed like a bat out of hell

could it be the distributor, its an aftermarket one... what if they shipped me one for civic ex engine, not dx - even though it produces spark, could that be the case?

should still try to turn over though....

what i meant before, is if the injectors are "injecting" when they are unplugged, you will see fuel spray.

i see... not to be a prick, but just to make sure, the rotor defenately would not turn if the timing belt was broken?

trying to visualize since im having a brain fart!

no, it shouldnt turn w/o the timing belt since the timing belt controls valve/ignition timing.

here's a dumb one....check the engine ground wire. i remember hearing once that that connection can cause some really weird no start issues.

:Edit:
I wish i remembered exactly what that post was all about!! Searching now
