alot of the time the disributor is at fault on the b16a, try checking to make sure its working properly.

Dude, either you can't read or you don't know jack about cars. He said he isn't getting a spark. even if the timing was off it will still spark.

And my opinion is the distributor BTW.

This is what he said and like everyone is trying to tell you if the timing's off it still sparks and will start. The idle will be jacked is all. Dang man!!! Do you know anything???

actually, if your timing is way off it may start, but it will not stay on. i've had that problem once.

IF it starts and won't stay on then it's getting saprk and yes it's your timing. How does that help this guy.

he should of had someone who knows what they are doing to do the swap for him in the first place.

I can't believe you just said that. I have lost any hope for you. They way you learn is to do and everyone here will agree with me. You get a sense of pride when you do things yourself. Swap problems do come along but then you fix that shit yourself and get even more pride. As I said in the 92+ civic forum. I have to wonder if you have any of the mods you claim. Your mods sound like you copy and pasted my mods on there. Every mod you supposedly have you post pics off the net. Are you for real or what? Prove me and everyone else who thinks you're full of it wrong and post some pics.

regardless of if you put the engine on yourself or someone else did it for you. the engine is the same. boo-hoo. Building the engine yourself and bolt on the parts that you want to acheive that 1/4 mile time. That's pride. just so you know, you will eat these words you said,

i have taken pics already but the quality of the digital camera sucks. if i'm going to post pics, i'm going to post good ones so you can clearly see what i got. not some blury ass pic. but, "YOU WILL EAT THOSE WORDS YOU'VE SAID"

i cant believe anything that sirII is saying at all, he thinks he knows what he is saying, but everything is wrong, do you even have a car man?

yes i do. and not everything i've said is wrong. was it really the distributor? do you know that for a fact. the only way to find out is if the originator of this thread posts what the problem really was.
