Here is the problem.
My b20 vtec won't start. Here is the story and symptoms as well as what I have done so far.
It drove, started and idled fine up till now. I took a three hour trip in 70-80 degree wheather. About halfway I noticed a tiny tiny tiny drop of fuel leakage from the gage on my AEM fuel rail. I tightened it and went another 150 or so miles to my destination. When I got there I checked the leak and it was leaking a lot more, probably because I overtightened it. Anyhow I got teflon tape and fixed the leak. When I got done I started it and the gage read 40 psi and there is no more leak. I shut it off and did not drive it for three days. When I went to start it it started and died instatly then I tried to start it again and it cranked, but not close to the first time I cranked it. I checked fuses and they are fine. The battery is good. I Checked the gage at the rail and I am getting fuel there. I checked for spark and I am getting that. The spark is not a huge blue, so I figured I fouled them from driving 150 miles with that leak. I went and got new plugs and still the same. It just cranks. When I push the pedal and try to start it it can stay alive, but when I let the gas off it dies.
Any ideas or other troubleshooting ideas?
