my question is on the 86' crx carburated 1.5l d15 motor,i just replaced the head on it and have everything put together.It wont start.It will turn over but will not fire,and nothing is firing in the combustion chamber.Any idea's of anything i possibly could hav had missed putting my car back together?

 

Do you have you plug wires hooked up right?

 

cje2310,
I'm not sure if you can do this in one of these engines, but could the distributor be 180 degrees out? This happened to me on my Rover, put the dizzy back in, 180 degrees of and nothing fired...
I think when I replaced an o ring on my old Integra's dizzy shaft it was notched so the thing couldn't be put together incorrectly...but as I said, I'm not sure what the shaft is like on these distributors...never even had it apart on my 1984...

yeah i had used to have the distributer adjusted incorrectly and it would shake but now it doesnt.is it possible it could be a wire not hooked up or something?

 

simple solution might be that u have your firing order off or it could be that your plugwires altogether just aren't hooked up... check your electrical, i know it's a pain, but still, it could save money

 

also check the rotor

 

timing belt will cause it to turn over and not start. are you sure it is firing and your timing isn't off?
