Hello all,
As some of you may be aware I am having a b16 swap into my 96 coupe, after various problems and setbacks, everything is now hooked up and connected and it looks SWEET!. Today was the day to start her up.
For those that don't know, i'm swapping out the non-vtec d16 for a b16a2 from a 1999 VTi (UKDM Si), including a p2t ecu and loom. The ecu is a odb2a (one plug on left and two on the right, not odb2b where left three are used)
(and before anybody says anything I know the battery isn't connect, neither is the power steering!!)
I'm having the work done by a garage, and relying (sp?) on lifts etc.. haven't been able to get down there today to take a look, but will be going there tomorrow am, so if someone could help with what I should be looking for.
Basically what the guy is telling me is that the engine turns and cranks, all plugs are sparking, fuel pump is primed and ready, but engine won't start. He didn't say if the injecters were pulsing, and didn't say if there were any lights on the dash. If there was a light, he would have said, but next time I speak with him i'll ask the questions.
He has changed the dist cap and rotor for the fun of it, checked all the wiring and plumbing etc.. followed all the wires and all checks out ok. Basically he can't find anything wrong with it... apart from not starting.
Could this be an immobiliser issue? is there a way to tell if the immobiler has cut in? or could it be a ecu fault, corrupted or something?? how can I remove the immobiliser.
I'm going down there tomorrow to use my limited understanding of cars and will check for myself:- cel's, battery, all connections and wires, check for injector pulse, distributor ignitor, earthing on the thrmostat and timing.
Anyone had similar problems, suggestions of other things to check or able to help??
Thanks very much.
Tim
