Problems with wiring eg b16a.

Is your car cranking ? i dont get it?

If its not cranking.. the first thing to do is to get it to crank..
you dont need antyhing for it to crank.. no fuel or spark needed..

Once that is soughted (maybe it is?)
Makle sure u got fuel...
Remove you spark plugs and crank the car abit first... this should give it some pre start oil pressure..

once done... put your nose on the plug hole and smell for petrol...
If not go to your back seat and listen for the fuel pump churning...

Once fuel is soughted check for spark...
Rip out one spark plug wire.. attach a spark plug at the end and place it need a rock cover nut..
Get mate to crank it.. you should see spark..

Once confirmed you will have starter, fuel and ignition.. then it should start..

Else.... im buggered..


Free to correct anything i say.. after all im a backyard mechanic... but all this has worked for me in the past and will just be the basic.. Further trouble shooting can be had once you figure what is missing..

Injectors wont be flashing if its not cranking...........or am i misreading all this as well?

Check the signal wire from the starter motor. I had this proble when i did this conversion.

It should crank over without fuel and sparks and etc.

Look back a few pages, there was a guy having similar problem. I've outline how to fix the problem in that thread.

are you getting spark.

do a spark test. if your ICM is not firing. the dizzy might not be getting power.

well ok.... here is the low down on what i have done so far...

first - fuel pump is priming...
second - head compression tested good
third - spark present with lead and spark plug test

just to clarify... the car is cranking, but the engine won't start.

so to sum it up i got fuel, air, and spark.

The engine has been sitting there for months now... could there be a blockage somewhere... [i have done a full service all fluids and filters has been changed and a new belt thrown in for good measure]

change the spark plugs

when you say new belt do you mean timing belt

please check the ECU for fault codes

yeah new timing belt and new plugs has been thrown in.

i'll check for the fault codes first thing on tuesday... hopefully not too many will pop up.

timing could be off

did u install the belt urself?

the belt was done by a mechanic at the shop. how can you tell if the timing is off... and would that cause damage to my engine?

that could be the problem.

It could damage your engine if you keep on cranking :(. Get the timing all checked.
