it wants to start...but it cant

[Night Wolf]

I got good news!

It runs!

while I was checking the timing I noticed that the dizzy was 180* out of whack. so I took it out turned the rotor & its shaft 180* around, put it back & it came to LIFE.

all thats left is to add tranny fluid, add shims under the center brace & drivers side mount, and buy the drivers side CV axle. then I can drive it.

i was going to suggest that, had an instance with my friends celica where it would do something like that... congrats on figuring it out

yes it bolts down with a 10mm nut.. to the thermostat housing.. its easy to see when its on.. but if its off... it can be tricky to find it.. as it sometimes gets lost.. that lil bastard.. so make sure u have it... or use a volt meter and check for voltage to ur distributor and coil.. but still check the ground.. lol..


also.. when u turn the key.. do u have a solid cel... or does it turn off???

Damn Los where have YOU been...what are you rolling in now? Is it still the Civic?

aren't the dizzy's tapered so as not to make the timing go 180* outta phase? that's what it's like in my CB7's dizzy at least.

haha... ive been lurking.. civic coupe is wrecked (damn semi)...


driving bb6 and ep3 lately... ill be around..

glad to see u got it running but yeah the order for all obd1 hondas injector wise is

pass side... yellow blue red brown ....drivers side..

im glad u got it running.. definetly get a timing light and check ur timing... since u had to do the whole 180 degree flip on the distributor... makes me wonder if maybe ur cam timing is off.. the distributor is only suppost to go in 1 way..

same here on both my stock f22a1's dizzy and the h22 dizzy i got

True, but if you disassembled the dizzy at any time, you can put the shaft itself in 180* out of time in relation to the dizzy internals.
