the car was running perfictly before I ventured on this project. so I can only assume after I connected everything back it should start up and run just fine. but it doesn't. about the distributor.. I removed it to get out of the way so I could get to the coolent hoeses.I disconnected the fuel line running from the fuel pump. but never touched the actuall pump. could my spark plugs go bad even though they worked perficly before I began. sorry for the terminology I'm kind of new to somewhat big engine projects. but I do appreciate your help.

 

Remotely diagnosing an issue such as yours is close to impossible.

 

distributor could be so out of time it wont start?
and check your grounds!!! hondas hate when you dont re-connect their grounds. check your valve cover ground, tranny ground, frame ground. all of them. even the little ones that look important....they are. and uhm again, make sure there is gas in the car. i know it sounds dumb but i built a hatch years ago, put alot of time and money into it and it wouldnt start because the gauge said little under half but had nothing in the tank. just check stupid shit cause thats what im guessing it is, something simple and overlooked

 

very true. but sometimes its worth a shot

Now.
I dont have any of the vacuum lines conneced. ran but not connected. (waiting on my vacuum manifold)

i don't know if everyone missed this but if i read the thread correctly, the car did actually start AFTER the turbo kit was installed, ran for a very short time, then shut off and hasn't started since? if that is the case i would suggest doing all of what everyone above stated and RE-CONNECT all vaccum lines/hoses to the correct place. the car should start up, it may run crappy considering it is on a stock fuel system and stock ecu tuning... i would suggest upgrading both of those before you really get into boost on a stock bottom end. also give it a full tune up, change the spark plugs, wires, oil filter and change the oil, just to be sure. also to make sure your fuel pump is coming on, when you click the key into position you should hear a humming coming from the back seat of the car. PICS WOULD REALLY HELP OUT. take as many pictures of the engine bay from as many anges as possible, this will help give us a visual of what you are working with... free bump and g/l

 

Thanks for the ideas guys. I rechecked everything, and i think when i disconnected the dizzzy, i did through the timing off. thats the only thing that i havent fixed, that can explain why my car is acting this way. now tell me if im right, but positioning the engine in top-dead-center. is the only way i can re-time my engine? Im not sure, thats why im on here in the first place.

Thanks.

 

the dizzy only goes on one way

 

If youved followed this thread....
Ive put gas in it.
ive checked all harnesses.
Ive checked it all.
And im still stumped.
The car wont start...

Ive removed the dizzy. Now could the removal of the dizzy through off my timing enough that it wont start. The turbo still has no vacuum connected, so no boost. but could the extension of my air intake, throw off my air/fuel ratio enough so it wont run??

Fellas youve been tons of help, assisting me in this shit.
Thanks.
