Motor will not start.

Hello,
I have an 1988 Acura Integra. This car will not start, we checked the timing and it is perfect. It has been sitting for atleast a month. We replaced the clutch, filled it will new gas. The oil level is fine. We are just stumped on what is wrong. What i am asking is, to all the elders or anyone who knows, could you tell me possible problems or things i need to do or look for. Thanks alot.

Intergration

well, does it turn over? can you freely spin the crankshaft? be a little more specific, and try to pick up a manual for the car.

yes i can turn the crank, yes i have a manual, the car will crank but wont turn over, i have no idea whats wrong, eletrical seems to be fine everything on the dash lights up, when i try to crank it, the engine make like a winding sound. that pretty much all the info i can give

spray some starting fluid in the intake while turning it over, if it fires then dies you have no fuel, if nothing happens then grab a screwdriver and start checking for spark
hope this helps

Yes i have spark, i tried what u said and nothing happend, the gage reads half a tank. Please help me anyway you can. Thanks

Sounds like fuel problem. Check your fuel pump , fuel filter and see if you can get the injectors clean. If anything, check your cap, rotor, and coil. Check the wires and spark plugs.

I changed the spark plugs, and new wires, new fuel filter, cleaned injectors, and it keeps winding, but will not turn over.

check for fuel pressure at the fuel rail.

I don't know if your car will be the same as mine but the exact same thing happened to me. I took it to the shop and it took some time for them to figure the problem. It was a crankshaft sensor. The part for mine was around 600 bones. Me being thrifty i picked one up at the junkyard for 75. It works great no starting problems.

Hey somedue,

Where is this crankshaft sensor? And what did it take to remove it?

It is on the side of the motor it took removing a couple of bolts and connecting 1 plug you could easily do this yourself.

can u hear your fuel pump turn on?
could be the main relay assembly.

best i can say is check all sensors and smell (sound stupid but trust me) if burnt smell then thats a start and check all fuses in fuse box it could be a little fuse that burnt also check egnition switch and wires check starter that by your trannie under your intake also check for shortage in wires
thats the best i can say:sly:
