I have a 1999 civic ex with a turbo b16 with a 5speed swap that i just got rebuilt. Since i got it rebuilt iv had a couple small problems cause the place i got it rebuilt obviously did a shitty job(it was in another state thats why i cant take it back). But now i have a new problem. Iv only drivin the car about 10 miles since it was rebuilt. Today i was driving to another county when the car just shut off and wouldnt start back up so i had to wait 2 hours on the side of the road (next to my turbo civic looking like a dumbass) for a tow truck. Any ways i need ideas
something is wrong but im not sure yet
here is some of the obvious problems that i had before this happend
The car had been sitting for about 2 years (before i got the money to fix it) with old gas mixed with new gas and some gas treatment to get the water out. causing a knocking sound
I checked the spark plugs and there was oil ontop of 2 of the plugs above the 3rd and 4th cylinder area cleaned and tried to start but no luck
The battery is brand new and connections are tight and clean so that cant be the problem plus i had the alternator checked from a prior fuck up instalation that i fixed from the prior machanic and it tested and works fine
I had the pistons replaced and are brand new
tomarrow im going to check a few things to see what i can find out
if the timing or valves where not adjusted correctly could this cause the car to turn off while i was driving it?
i know if the valve lash isnt correct it shouldnt start but it seemed to be fine besides the trashy knocking sound that it was making i just figured it was the old gas though
there was also a ticking noise as well
anyways i need ideas asap im moving at the end of the month i dont want to have to sell my baby please help
what should i check
the car also has a integra gsr computer i took it up to advanced because an engine light had come on and stayed on sunday night but the meter wouldnt read from the plug in to the ecu im guesing because of the integra gsr computer
i also just replased the deltagate wastegate that was sticking with a tial wastegate but i dont think that would have anything to do with it
