- Sat Jun 25, 2011 7:24 am #260909 Okay so over the winter I pulled the motor on my hatch to shave and paint the bay move battery relocate the fuse box just little things. Well I put the motor back in and went to start it and it will not start just sits there and cranks over will not start main relay is good I can hear it click and everything the car has fuel and spark just won't start! You can crank forever and it won't start. It backfired a couple times well trying. Its got brandnew plugs and brandnew wires. Any input will help please help me get my b16a eg hatch back on the road. I Want to drive it so damn bad! There is a code for ELD? No idea what that could be?

And if you relocated your battery and only ran one hot wire that could be part of your problem. one wire taking all that load over that distance is a bad idea. get two wires and run one to the starter and the other to the electrical for the car.

Yeah thats where I was going.



The increase with added oil like that means it is your rings. Your going to have to replace them.
