I have a first gen b16a in my 95 dx coupe. I have it all dropped in and wired up and plubmed and axled and everything but the damn thing still wont start. I was just wondering if anybody out there that has done this swap can throw me some tiny shit I may have overlooked thanks

 

is it cranking? Is there fuel? Who did the wiring? What ECU are you running?

 

Myself and my friend who is a mechanic wired it up. I am running a p-30 ecu and the egine is converted over to "obd-1" I know I know there is no obd blah blah blah but it just makes it easier.

 

 

What do you mean, "there is no obd blah blah blah"??? On board diagnostics don't exist? :fawk:

And like they said, is it cranking? fuel? are you getting sprak? do the dash lights come on when you turn the key?

 

It was a discussion between Redcivic and I on another thread. At least that's what I think he's reffering to.

 

yes that is what I was referring to....yes it is cranking, it is getting fuel, and the dash lights come on as well. I have not checked spark yet but that is prob. a good idea to check...is there anything else it could be that I am overlooking?

 

Checking for spark would be the next thing to do

 

how would I go about testing for spark if I dont have a spark testin light?

 

use a screw driver =)

have someone crank the car whilst you stick a screw driver into the spark plug wire and ground the screw driver against the engine or something. you should see a blue spark. make sure there's no fuel fumes around and that you're holding the handle of the spark plug
