Car not starting.

[LX Rida]

Sup guys, well a couple days ago i replaced my plugs and my PCV valve. After i installed it everything went good. Later on that night i start my car to use the car lighter and it started fine again. Then the next morning i go to start my car to go to school and it didnt start! Its turning over but no spark. I tried replacing the battery and jumping it...still not wokring. The plugs look good, starters working, theres oil in the motor and i can hear the fuel pump turning on. Today i switched the Coil from my other cb7 and they both are working fine. Im guessing it has something to do with the Dist? Maybe the Ignitor or Cap?

Have you pulled the cap off to take a look?

could be as simple as loose plug wires on either end... or it could be the ignitor or the cap & rotor...

[phatdoughnut]

you checked all the plugs? to make sure they werent sparking?

yeah i think your dizzy toook a big shitter on you! for the price of the ignitor, you can buy a brand new distributor from this guy

yeah that'll do it. sounds like your belt jumped a tooth or maybe the TDC sencer went up.

What do you mean the TDC sensor went up?

Could my Dist just be fucked up too?

Also when im starting my car while hold the key tryin to start it...the CEL will come on a couple mins later.

But....

When i just sit there tryin to click it over...the cel doesnt come on.

yeah sounds like the dizzy went up.
but this has never happend to me. I'm sure someone else had the same problem before. hopefully they'll post up shortly

[LX Rida]

I just noticed that everytime i try to start it. The rotor is always in the same place. Is that normal? Could my dist. be messed up? HELP ME!

watch that rotor..if it dont turn then ur timming belt is gone.

Did your distributor make funny noises and then just died out????? I think its your distributor mine died out on me before I went to go get some gas at the station and then it went.

timing belt snapped.

im hoping that none of my valves got bent.

is there a way to check without taking off the head?

i hope there not bent because that morning when i tried to start my car i swear it didnt even turn on. at first i thought my battery was just dead but who knows.

[accordztech]

he forgot to add that the timming belt had oil on it..

so i suspect cam shaft seal leak killed the belt...

hehe if things do suck put a f22b =)

If you changed the belt and tried to start it and it didnt start but felt like it wanted to turn over 9 times outta ten it may have do a c/r test or be prepared to pull the head off .
