My civic with a d15b7 was running fine a couple days ago which I started & stopped to keep the battery alive. Couple days afterwards I tried to start it but the battery was flat, turned over but didn't have enough momentum to start
So I tried jumper leads which only made the engine turn over but it still didn't start. Which resulted me to change the battery from my other car around to see whether it's the battery. Still the same, i can hear the fuel pump going, so I checked the sparks yes it's firing it starts off sounding like its about to fire but it doesn't. & with the cranking there's slight smoking from the exhaust. Also afterwards when I checked the plugs I realised it also had some smoke coming out of the sp hole.
Any ideas to what it may be? I'm unsure about the compression but I guess there is since if it didn't & it was turning over the rpm would sit at zero while mine went up slightly. I'm out of ideas as of this moment but any suggestions of what it may be would be great.
