92 Civic Won't Start
 

I posted a thread in Honda/Acura but no people replied yet so i thought id try in here because its important i get this engine running. i have no idea whats wrong with it.

i videotaped me trying to turn over the engine.

www.egpower.piczo.com

thats the site with the video of that.

I will be willing to pay the person that can help me pinpoint the problem. it makes a strange noise when turning over and i cant get it to start. also one time the #3 spark plug wire popped right off the valve cover when i was trying to start it. can someone watch the video and give me an idea.

I am not sure
but it might be your dizzy
but also could be your main relay too

that sounds fine to me. but its an online video.

If your near oakville ill come check it out, if not, goodluck. have you even checked for spark or fuel or compresssion?

i ran a compression test and it was fine on all the cylinders but 1 which wasnt getting passed 50. has lots of fuel and sparks. one time i tried starting it i heard a pop and noticed the #3 spark plug wire popped right off the vavle cover. what does that usually mean?

probably a back-fire.. you may have a burnt of burnt valve

well i bought this car just because it was in great condition and the motor wouldnt work so i think i might just rip out the d15 like i originally planned and swap something better in. i dont know if its worth spending the money to get this motor running seeing as it already has 299XXX on it.

goodluck

thanks im gonna need it. im starting to remove everything tomorrow and ill be taking pictures and posting the progress on my webpage www.egpower.piczo.com
