    H22a will not start! 93 accord lx 5 speed

    All plugs are receiving spark and all injectors are receiving sufficient fuel, the distributor is brand new as well as the tps. Using p13 ECU but also we tried my friends chipped p28 ECU from his cb7 and still the same thing, codes thast were pulled are for vtec and coolant temp sensor. The spark plugs are brandnew NGK iridiums also. Timing has been flipped 180 and back. We pulled the plugs and they had some black soot on them cleaned them off and still same issue..it turn over it just wont start..PLEASE HELP

    Black soot on new plugs?
    You may have a mechanical timing issue. The fuel is partially burning leaving that soot on the plugs.

      How did you try timing 180? Distributor should only fit into the cam one way. Have you checked firing order? Make sure your rotor contact is pointing at no.1 at top dead center. There are a lot of honda firing order diagrams that do not apply to f/h motors.

        For one the car must be at top dead center also if that distributor is messed up with the teeth sheered off the car won't start either let along crate apart to fire I would check that too. Also check the ignitor and fuses the distributor could be fried check that spark.

          i should have mentioned that i did have this motor in my 95 prelude before i decided to put it into my accord..both cars ran perfect i just like my cb7 so much more and wanted the power it had from my prelude..thats why im so confused as to why it wont start now..all ground are golden and connectors connected..damnit..could there possibly be a short in the harness? i hope the timing isnt whats off..and if it is i hope the valves arent bent..

            Since the engine was running fine before being pulled, I can't imagine there being a cam timing issue unless you replaced the timing belt or had the t belt off and back on for any reason. Otherwise, I would rule out cam timing. Were the plug wires, distributor off during the swap? Is it sputtering/backfiring at all when you try to start it? Did you do any kind of internal/external coil conversion?

              when i had the motor in my prelude i had the external coil..in my accord it is also external coild..both motors are obd1..the belt was never taken off nor were any pullys..when i go to start it theres sometimes a little soft pop sound but thats it..i swapped the motor completely intact with trans connected still..this is seriously keeping me awake at night

                  This isn't related to your issue I'm just curious, why do you like your cb7 so much more than your prelude? I've never driven or been inside of any prelude ever.

                      Glad to hear you found the problem and there wasn't any harm done.

                        Just so you know the reason the Prelude pulled to one side was very likely due to a blown shock.

                          Or tie rod, or ball joint, or upper (or lower) CA bushing, or... you get the point. There was a weak link in the suspension system on that side of the vehicle. Comparing CBs to Preludes is apples to oranges, though.

                            Those things would cause a pull at all times. Under braking, a dive to one side is almost certainly a blown shock.

                              *UPDATE* she runs beautiful, the timing was off, the hydraulic tensioner had failed during the swap, set timing and replaced with the KS tuned manual tensioner
