Need major help. Please!

By Gustavo
- Sun Jul 17, 2011 11:07 pm #263905 So last night me n my friends put my head back 2gether, put it back on time, n plugged everything back up. At 1st the fuel pump was not kicking on n we traced it down 2 a ground wire. So now everything works but my car won't start.
Heres wat we have done:
Rewired wiring harness n put it back on.
Replaced DSM 440cc injectors with stock 240cc injectors.

The car does crank n everything but won't start, at 1 point it wanted 2 start but didn't. I wonder if it could b my spark plugs that r done, but they were brand new b4 i blew my headgasket. My swap is a ls/vtec. b18b1 with 98 gsr head. I am getting fuel n spark. Why is my car not starting?

Double check your timing.

Thinking of getting a timing gun instead of doin it by sight.

So it was the coil? did u replace with new? if it's dieing after start up. that's you have to mess with the cam gears
move the tbelt by a tooth..

LS vtecs are never going to be in proper timing it will always be slighty off as mentioned in the other posts..

I've read alot about how ls/vtec timing will b slightly off. N the other day me n my friend swapped our main/fuel relay n his was messing up n we just remember i still have his messed up 1 on my hatch so i wonder if this is also the problem. He has a D series swap. Idk if that would affect it or not.
