oh and i forgot the mechanic that did my water pump eliminated a bunch of vacuum lines and the one that goes on top of the intake mani next to the map sensor is missing there is no vacuum line there would that make a difference??

 

are both plug on the distibutor plugged in

 

yes sir...

 

what all did you take off to push it back in?

 

just the spark plug wires and the valve cover then i went ahead and used the tool that is used to open cans of paint and pushed in the seal then put it back together an tried to start it and nothing... it just turns over..

 

check the firing order again. and when your done, check it again.



once you are 1,000 % sure, check the timing and make sure it didnt jump, also if you have cheap plug wires somtime the wire pullout out of the tube thingy, pull the wires and make sure the metal part at the bottom is low enough to tough the plug. i dont really know a better way to explain it without showing you.

 

ok ill go check that ill let you know.. i know what you mean by the spark plug wires ill check them too.. and about the timing, how can it skip timing? how does that happen? i haven't driven it anywhere since i got my water pump got done.. and it was running fine, can it happen by trying to start it with out a valve cover while not having the spark plug wires connected?? thanks for all the help guys..

 

oh you tried to start it without the wires connected? that will kill your coil, check and see if you are getting spark.

and yes it can just happen, whenever the motor is turning, if the belt isnt tight enough. but if you turned it over with the wires off, im leaning twards the coil

 

ahhh shit where is the coil at?? do i just have to change the whole distributor??
oh and the belt is really tight cuz i had my water pump done this weekend.. i check the wires and the order and nothing...

 

Take it to a reputable mechanic. It sounds like your not mechanically inclined to fix it, or go buy a honda manuel and read up homie
