Hey guys so i have been putting a b18c motor into my car that last week everything got hooked up today ready to fire up...so it turns and turns but it wont start doesnt have that BOOM!...any ideas on what it could be...fuel is getting to the spark plugs and the spark plugs are new :S please help!

 

Are you getting a spark? Maybe forgot a negative somewhere?

 

I think fuel getting to your spark plugs could be a problem :P

 

Its getting the sparks and the fuel to start... Some people are saying my ICM or Timing is off :S More comments would be nice.

 

It could be the timing isnt linedup. But if your getting a spark and gas, its your main fuel relay

 

even if the timing is off a tooth or even 2, the engine should still start, just it will run like a bag of ---- tho. Check you ground wires to make sure they are all tight aswell, because if one is a little lose, the car will not even crank

 

wouldnt it be the main relay? or no

 

The ground thing is very plausible. when my friend and i swapped a d15b into a bubble back, it wouldnt start and we tried EVERYTHING! we had the valve cover ground connected properly, but like 3 weeks later, after almost giving up, we realized that the rubber grummit was not allowing it to ground properly. so try not to spend any money until you check things, or you'll end up like us with about 400 bucks of unneccessary spending.

start from the intake up, doing even stupid things. just do the "path of combustion" and make sure everything is in check.

 

Main relay sends a signal to ecu to turn on the fuel pump. If he's getting fuel then its not the main relay.
Though this was almost 4 months ago, so I'm sure the problem has been solved.

 

Yea ur right. Im starting to learn more and more though

 

lol i didnt even notice the date. hahaha. need to pay more attention.

 

lol you guys are funny it has been running since late september...check the date overdose why you post here lol.

 

not to carry this thread out but what was it?

 

i change the timing which was off and it just started after it was just right.

 

I was just curious
