vtir trouble wont start

[v-teg]

problem fixed thanks for the help hey guys need some help i just bought an integra for my sister as her first car was told it didnt run.
it has spark, fuel pressure, sounds like it wants to kick over but just wont, i got code 21 from ecu but dont think that would stop it from starting, i swapped the dissy from mine just to see if it would help-didnt. ive also swapped the main relay.

any ideas? also any way of telling if the injectors are pulsing? or if the ecu is broken?

the cel light goes off after a few second when the key is on

any help would be appreciated thanks in advance :)

it could had low compression, do a compression test. If you have sparks fuel you will need compression.

yeah checked that all 4 range from 210-220psi

yeah checked that all 4 range from 210-220psi
code- 21 Throttle Position sensor error (signal high)
could be main relay
Do you hear the fuel pump prim ?

Starter or Battery maybe? might not have enough charge to crank the engine over? or maybe the starters screwed? If its a manual you could try push starting it? worth a shot I guess.

yeah swapped the main relay with the one out of my integra didnt make a difference, i cant hear the fuel pump but i did loosen the fitting on fuel rail and it squirted out when the key is on, could the fuel be off as i dont know how long it has been sitting for?

could be anything i guess =\ pretty hard to tell, is it cranking over of just a loud tick?

Immoboliser isnt letting the car turn over?

[v-teg]

its cranking over sounds like it is about to start but doesnt, ive checked the timming at tdc all is good, no problems with the imobiliser.

Check the main fuse it's under the bonnet next to the battery. It's called ECU it controls the fuel pump etc

Let somebody turn the car and go under the car beside the fuel tank and listen to the pump if it's working

[JohnnyJohnJohn]

yea try what DC2 suggested sounds like its the ECU, i think its a 15a (Green?) fuse?

[v-teg]

ok will replace it today see if it works thanks for the help. i bought some start ya barstard so ill see if that helps aswell lol

[dc2r-0636]

Also swap the plugs over and make sure the firing order is correct

[v-teg]

got it going i sprayed start ya barstard down intake-massive back fire burnt my hand so i pulled the dissy apart was all cracked and metal shavings everywhere swapped it with mine but its obd2 so swapped the loom plugs and it started straight away, then i stepped on the imobilizer button and broke it any way to get around imobilizer :(
