okay i have a 92 integra rs i plan to use to road race since i totalled my last one. i have a big problem. i tryed to crank it over and it wont turn over. i picked up this car that was sittin for 2 years so i took the tannk down and emptied the tank of all nasty gas cleaned out rail and injectors. i cranked it and it turned over it ran for about a minute and shut off i turned it on again it ran for about 15 sec then died again after that it wouldnt start again! i changed the distributor because it wasnt gettin spark so now its getting spark but wont turn over sometimes it sounds like it starts but dies immediately!!!! i also changed plugs wires and valve cover gasket also changed the fuel filter so thats all new!!!!! i dont know what else it can be i also tryed using another ecu but the same thing!!!!! another weird thing is that the ecu in there wont give codes but the other ecu i plugged in threw codes so i am very confused!!!1 please help thanks in advance

 

Road race, do you mean street race? Keep it on the track. As far as the car problem does it turn at all or just not start?

 

no i mean track road race dude. but it doesnt start at all it did but now wont!!! just cranks and cranks but wont turn over just keeps cranking until battery fukin dies im very frustarted i wanted to take it out the 29th but now i cant!

 

Thats you're problem...

By the way, how did you total your last one?

 

its my problem remember so ill worry about how i totalled it!

 

Only 3 things required for the car to run. Check fuel, fire, and air.

You can pull a plug, sniff it for fuel. You can spray some ether too, that's another good way to rule out fuel.

Ground the connected plug and have a friend crank. check for spark. You can voltage check at the end of the plug wire as well for proper spark voltage.

Disconnect the air intake at the throttle body. Then you can observe the throttle body opening under WOT. Might be stuck/gummed up.

 

so i can spray ether! should it start? and if it does then what does that solve. thanks youre very helpful! cuz i checked for spark and it has spark!

 

So.. your getting Spark / air.. all that's missing now is fuel. When you put the key in and turn the notch before turning the car on... do you hear the fuel pump priming (could be simply fuses).

A way you may want to test this situation is to get a can of starter fluid (any parts store). Spray a bit of that in the Intake manifold or air filter (however you want to do it) and then if it starts.. runs a bit and dies then it's a fuel dilivery problem.

 

yah the fuel pump primes!!!! but i tool the injectors out and spray brake cleaner inside i dont know if that damaged em!

 

If it fires with ether, then stalls, that usually means a fuel delivery problem.

Since you already cleaned out the tank and checked the injectors maybe it's time to replace the fuel filter.
