i am stumped, and so are some very mechanically inclned people that i had look at it. i spent over 12 hours non stop 8am till 8pm attempting to figure this sh1t out and right now im pretty disappointed that i havent figured it out - godamm electrical shit.
i AM GETTING GAS, but no SPARK.
I installed a new external coil/cap & rotor and it worked perfectly fine, the car fired up on queue, and it idled smoothly for about 5 minutes. It just stalled in my driveway - it shut off/stalled. I tried to start it back up and it wouldnt start (cranks, but no life). The last life my engine ever saw since now. Everything visibly looks fine except it wont start so what the hell is wrong?
as of right now i am certain 100% -
Main relay - ok
igniter - ok
coil/cap/rotor - ok
distributer - probably ok (still want another donor - obd1 vtec)
tach - works
spark plugs - ok
plug wires - ok
grounds - ok, i basically have a homemade grounding kit
ecu - unsure, ran a few tests but i want to swap it to make sure (obd1 vtec - donors?)
No my alarm is not armed, although i still have not tested its (ignition, starter, fuel kill circuits), but im pretty sure this is not the problem.
i CHECKED all fuses (Uhood,drivers kick)- is there some ignition related relay or some crap that i dont know about???
i tried my old working stock ignition setup - still doesnt start
i have swapped working distributor components - igniter, coil, rotor, basically swapped distributors.
i have tried every test in the HELMS manual regarding the distributer, main relay, car not starting, etc.
i have enough battery power as my battery is freshly charged/i tried jumping it too.
i have checked nearly every wire going into the distributor via voltage meter, continuity meter wTH???
ecu throws code 43 (been there for a year now) and nothing else, ive been told if the ecu can throw a code it’s probably okay.
WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH THIS FUCKING 11 YEAR OLD FUCKING CAR?#)($)($)($##)($8)$#)$* LOL
