'96 Lude Won't Start
Ok so here's the deal...'96 Prelude SR-V. I regretfully sold it a year and a half ago. After longing to have it back for over a year, I tracked it down and bought it back from the guy. When I sold it, it was in tip-top shape and ran like a dream. However, when I re-purchased the car, it was not running. I figured it would be an easy fix since I've been working on them for a little over 5 years. Anyway, the motor will turn over, but WILL NOT START. I have tried everything to my knowledge to get this thing running. It is driving me nuts. Like I said, when I attempt to start the car, it turns over, but just wont start. When the key is turned to the "on" position I can hear the fuel pump pressurize and I even loosened the fuel line to make sure it was making it to the injectors. Along with that, I have also replaced the injectors and "o" rings and made sure all wiring/fuses are good. The engine has no sign of water damage in any way. No water in oil or gas, but both have been replaced regardless. I even added several cans of octane booster to the unleaded 93. Both sets removed clean with no oil. The engine has no problem turning manually therefore I know it is not hydro-locked nor stuck from sitting so long. I have thoroughly checked all ground wires and vaccum lines with the guidence of a repair manual. I even ADDED grounds. I have also replaced the Main Relay AND the Ignition Switch. Along with that, I have also replaced the distributor. I tried JDM H22A internal coil dizzy w/ oem and msd rotor and cap. I then tried USDM H22A external coil dizzy w/ OEM and MSD rotor and Cap. I replaced the spark plugs twice with new NGK plugs. I even tried OEM plug wires alond with my already installed Nology Hot wires. I also tried using an MSD Blaster 3 external ignition coil. With and without the already installed Nology Powercore hooked up, still no START. I pulled the spark plug and touched it on the block while trying to start the car. NOTHING! I know motors are NOT THAT COMPLICATED. You need air, fuel and spark. I obviously have air. The fuel is there, so for some reason I am not getting a spark. If anyone has ANY INFO that might get this damn thing running, please let me know. Thanks.
