Took off the camshaft cover to discover two intake rockers, one from cylinder 1 and one from cylinder two lying on the top of the head between valve springs. A third, on cylinder 3, was off the valve stem and jammed between the spring and the raised head bolt located in the center intake side of...

From what I understand, pretty much all Honda engines are interference. A timing belt jumping some teeth on either of the cams on the DOHC would result in bent intake or exhaust valves or both. What bothers me is that I get great compression on 1 and 4 and nothing at all on 2 and 3. I got...

Thanks a bunch. Head will come off tonight if it's not too cold that I can't stand working out in it longer than an hour or so.

Well I must have done this one to myself screwing around with the timing belt. I am pretty sure at one point I cranked it with belt on 360 degrees out on the crankshaft. Can you say dumbass! Compression test gives 180 psi on cylinders 1 and 4 and zero compression on cylinders 2 and 3. I am...

Yes. That's exactly where I had them and have made sure where they are supposed to go each time I took the distributor off to swap parts. The spark just seems weak on all cylinders but for some reason cylinder 4 fires. Playing the plugs in and out seems to get 1 and 3 to try to fire at times but...

Unfortunately they are. I thought wires that's why I swapped the wire on 3 to 4 and started the engine again. It will run on one cylinder. Pulled plugs and turned ignition to on. Fuel pump runs for 2 seconds and then stops. No fuel leaking into any of the cylinders so I am pretty sure it's not...

Well, let's see. Checked timing belt. It was newly replaced by me and timed when I did the swap. Belt is fine and correct. Checked spark and all sparked but plugs were worn. Did not spark test in low light to see just how blue it was on each wire (could be weak spark on all cylinders but 4 seems...

So I did do something smart. I did swap out the ignitor, coil, upper pickup, rotor, and finally cap (had to modify the key slot) from the D15B2 distributor. Note that the D15B2 distributor was put in around 97 and probably had less than 40K miles before I busted a piston rod. These changes had...

The swap went great. All rewiring is correct as the engine ran great. Didn't rev it too high, but at least up to 6000. Drove it off and on for a couple of weeks.. been waiting to put new tires on front since they sat on car in back yard for 6 years. I have checked on the engine codes for the PM6...

Have a 91 DX Wagon which I recently swapped the stock D15B2 for a used ZC that had been in a wrecked 91 CRX Si. Modified stock harness and took what was needed out of CRX (e.g., injector resistor, ECU, etc.) and put them in DX. Put in new timing belt, clutch, fuel pump, fuel filter, etc. as part...

Checked spark on #1 cylinder and it was fine. Looked at timing belt and it seemed to be off from when I replaced it before dropping in car. Readjusted based on specs I have and now the car will try to run when throttled but extremely poorly. Basically just reset the timing belt with crankshaft...

Haven't done that yet. Will do tomorrow. Just got dark and started raining and I don't have space in workshop to push it in.

Have a 91 DX Wagon with ZC and PM6 ECU from a 91 CRX Si. Swap went great. Car ran just fine but have not driven it much (40 miles) due to need for new front tires. Drove the car twice the other day, parked it, went to move it and it won't start. It cranks over but won't start. Fuel pump and...

Problem Identified 10A #14 fuse blown. Replaced fuse and ECU POSTs. Fuel pump removed and it is toast. Fuel tank has excessive rust above stale gas fuel level due to sweating over the 5 years of non use. Too bad CRX tank won't fit Wagon.

Please bear with me here as I describe the series of events. (note: DX was parked 5 years ago due to broken piston rod. CRX was driven on and off trailer and ZC motor was running good - no smoke and like a sewing machine) 1. obtained 91 CRX with ZC aftermarket to put in 91 DX Wagon 2. Bolted DX...
