Finally Got It Started

[H22/23cb7]

Whats up guys? I just got this piece running two days ago. Tell me what you guys think!! My header isnt connected to the downpipe so its open header. The balance shaft belt got removed.

aren't you even the least worried of running that motor while the t-belt covers are completely gone??

Its just for now. As it sits, it has clutch issues. The clutch pedal dont return back up when i press on it.

Have you bled the clutch? That should get pressure back to the pedal unless the is actually a problem with your system. I also recommend getting the exhaust bolted up asap, see if that slapping sound goes away at all (may just be video quality not sure).

I have tried bleeding but unsuccessful. I might just get a new slave cylinder and clutch master cylinder. Also whats taking so long to start up when im cranking?

Was that the first time you started it or does it start hard like that each time?

It has a hard start everytime i have started it. I have yet to get it timed and hook up a fuel psi gauge to my fuel rail and check how much cranking psi i have. How can i check fow how much of a good spark im getting??

It could be a few different things I would be just guessing. Try googling : hard start site:cb7tuner.com and there should be about 10+ pages of threads with issues and I bet you can start diagnosing the problem after you've read about the problems of others.

Thanks dude!! Ill check it out today. My guess its not getting good spark cuz when I pulled a spark plug to test for spark, the flash from the plug wasnt all fat and bright. The color of the spark was yellow/white-ish.

I would test the coil, I noticed in the vid you have an aftermarket setup. I've read of people having trouble with those suckers but I have zero experience with them. If I was you, I would convert to a factory external unit and be done with it

New distributor cap and rotor wouldn't hurt either.
