Check for spark and compression.

****, did i just feed another troll?

Well, i'm bored, so ill continue.

You need three things for fuel ignition (4 in an internal combustion engine, ill get to that later)

1: FUEL, you should have fuel unless the ecu somehow doesn't know when to inject the fuel, or no fuel in the tank or bad fuel pump.

2: AIR, theres really no way not to get air unless you stop up the intake.

3: SPARK, easy to check for, hard to find if it doesn't spark.

4: COMPRESSION, this is necessary in an engine because it wont expand enough if the air isn't compressed.


Check the fuel pump, personally i would just pull it and bench test it, but there may be more ways.

Timing may be off.

Any CELS?

PLEASE type like a normal person, I wont help you anymore if you don't use proper English, ill assume you're a troll, and flag you.

wow ***** ok yes i did check for all those things we believe it may be the crankshaft sensor since it does want to fire up

I'm not a *****, this site has been having several fake threads lately and many trolls, spammers, etc. Its been really frustrating and its hard to decipher what you're saying if you type like that.

I was going to say crank position sensor, but if you don't have a CEL it must've went out while it was shut off, it could also be unplugged, you never know.

I'd try to get a junkyard one, since they are pretty expensive and see if it fixes it.

Mayan-Si

oh ok im sorry well we took the crankshaft position sensor off and were searching around for a new one so were hoping thatz all it is and that it will start

mac25

even if the cel is not on i'd suggest trying to pull codes from it. you never know if the LED is dead or if the problem is also causing the electronics to not work, it could save you a lot of time.

secondly what happens when you turn the key?

Mayan-Si

when i turn the key it does crank the engine the engine wants to turn on.but it seems like something is not giving the motor enough spark.we hooked a obd2 to it and it read the code which we looked up and we figured out about the crankshaft sensor

Replace the sensor, and check sparks, could be something wrong with the ignition coils too.

Why did you change the timing belt and tensioner? Did the old one break?

bluhonda

ok so she wont start. all the things were checked and still the same result. check the ground at the motor, the batt, or the main relay. those are most of the main problems why hondas wont start.

Mayan-Si

yea whoever owned the car before me obviously didnt take care of the car the cam gears had skipped a tooth because the tensioner was just hanging on without a bolt on it

You could have some major internal issues from the timing being out of whack. When you changed the belt did you make sure ALL the marks were properly lined up?

Mayan-Si

yea we took a full day and a half to make sure everything is in proper order and that everything was lined up properly right now we are waiting for the crankshaft position sensor to come in the mail

Mal2000Si

so you did a compression test? i would hate to think that mr piston kissed the valves...

Mayan-Si

yea we did a compression check and everything seem fine we bought a new pcv valve plus hose to make sure we checked the valves n pistons while doing the timing and that seem good too

Sounds like everything overly expensive has been ruled out which is good. Good luck with the sensor, hopefully it gets it going.

Make sure your fuel pump is working correctly

And check the ignition coils

Something's not making the gas light up as it should
