crx b16a won't start after sitting...
Where to start,
about 3 years ago i joined the army... parked my crx, and did my thing... germany, iraq, germany, kuwait...then back here to the states... in that time, my father had started the car... once in the first year. never after that.
I ask him to get the car so when i get to GA, i had my rex...
he couldn't get it started... got it to fire a few times with starting fluid, then nothing...
I get it... do a once over, find out the solenoid valve fuse was blown, replaced it, no fuel pump on key on (2 sec)
installed new main relay... still no pump....
new pump, old relay (was good)
it had 8 gal of fuel-like liquid that i removed from it, smelled... like varnish
NOW...
i get a new battery, (old was was crapppppy)
thing cranks over...
i get 2 sec fuel pump prime...
i get fuel out of the rail, if i remove the return line, and remove vacume hose on FPR.
and that's it.
no start.
injectors have power, injectors have proper 2.5 ohms...
UPDATE :
100% Brand new...
ngk iridium 9's
EFI relay,
injectors (1991 'teg b18)
all installed...
runs like a charm with starting fluid..
still seems like a fuel issue... (fpr BAD?.. clogged lines?)
anyone got any more ideas?
UPDATE2 :
I have no fuel pressure..... as in, after the prime, i can crack the
filter bolts loose, and it doesn't squirt out.... just leaks out.
installed a aem fuel rail/fpr combo, to no added improvement..
fuel pump def runs, before (prime), and after key release (a second at most after)...
I think no pressure is my issue....
but i am doing a full wiring test tomarrow...
going through the entire wiring trouble shooting list...
going to hardwire the pump to see if it starts then....
i'm thinking perhaps that the pump i got doesn't work right.... (guessing of course) a fuel pressure gauge is enroute, but it might be monday before it gets here...
