check all your lines, make sure your fuel pump is turning on, the motor should start, but u may need to upgrade your fuel pump

yea all fuel is getting to the rail just not the spark plugs i think its because i need to replace the o rings for the injectors only because of some leakage but would that not make it crank over and start up

i said to upgrade, because depending on the swap, or whut he swapped the motor into, the pump may not be good enough to supply the fuel for it, like if its a vx hatch, and you swapped in a H22, its a good idea to upgrade your fuel pump, because that pump was made to supply fuel for a 70hp motor, not 200, ass. yea, shitty O rings are kinda of a big problem dude, or your injectors could be blocked/clogged, forcing the fuel to seap past the o rings. if your plugs are makin spark, and you're timing is right, then your culprit is your injectors.

what kinda car and what kind of engine.

sounds like your injectors are firing put your fingers on them while you some one cranks the car you should feel them clicking.

70hp to 200hp motor. ok I can see where your tring to go but the problem is the injector flow rate for the hb is about 240cc and the prelude motor is 1992-96 Prelude non-vtec Peak and hold 240cc , or 1992-96 Prelude VTEC Peak and hold 345cc , or 1997-up Prelude VTEC Saturated 280cc . and since the oe fuel pump is good to handle up to about 320cc to 350cc the stock pump may be enough since the only motor close is the 92-96 vtec. the car would still start it would just run lean.

your help and advice is appreciated and it is good to make a stab " fuel pump upgrade" but before you start to call someone as ass you might want to sit around and find out whose who on tr since your just some jack ass noob you might want to shut the fuck up with the name calling since you don't know jack about 60-1ek or what he knows, but lets get you started if you need a harness to swap anything into anything else with a different ecu he is who you see, hondata tuning ( street and or dyno), I can't tell you how many hondas he currently owns or has owned but he's no idiot when it comes to this shit.

not to say you can't stick up for your opinion and try to support it with facts ( you need facts since as I just showed the stock pump would still start the engine) but don't start calling names when you a fucking noob with no clue wtf is up on tr.

basically the "ass" and the whole 38 days that you have amassed on tr makes you out to be a hot head little punk that needs to reach down, grasp his ears, and pull real hard to get your head out of your ass.

you may also want to look at the names for the moderators here to make sure you don't step on your dick and call one of them a fag or something. just some friendly advice from above.

I'll disregard all the n00bie flaming, cuz that's always the easiest thing to go for first. i guess the fact that ive been a member on H-T for more than year doesnt mean anything, especially since i just moved back to florida after being away for 3 years, and found out about this site. all of a sudden, i have an IQ of 3, and get no respect, but i guess respect is earned by putting up a bunch of posts and having an early sign up date, right? and i knew i should've put that the stock pump would at least get the motor started and up to idle, i was just waiting to be flamed, cuz we all know (hopefully) that when you click ur key over to on, ur fuel pump kicks on and pressurizes your fuel lines with fuel, which will be more than sufficient enough to supply fuel for low rpm's. but i, meaning myself, would upgrade to a better fuel pump, so i dont run lean when i do rip on it.
