Are you sure you plugged everything back in? Are you getting power? Is the car doing anything when you turn it over?

jpalamar · 01-10-2011, 01:58 PM

Check for vac leaks, TPS, and your MAP.

It cranks and wants to turn over. But give me a flashing engine light

scottsworld717 · 01-10-2011, 11:34 PM

check the flashs and see what the code is make sure you dont have the map and tps plugs switched and check all your gounds

jaybrown945 · 01-11-2011, 03:12 PM

Were they short or long flashes.

Google OBD-0/OBD-1 and come back with some more info so we can help.

jaybrown945 · 01-11-2011, 04:04 PM

3 short on an obd1 from my understanding its my map sensor and tps

jpalamar · 01-11-2011, 04:27 PM

Is it possible that you plugged them in wrong? Maybe you put the MAP connector into the TPS. I've made crazy simple mistakes that took me for ever to figure out before. Not sure if pulling the battery for a few a little would make a difference or not. Maybe resets things?

Can you install and intake mani and bigger TB without a tune in the first place? I would think that along would throw things off.

SovXietday · 01-11-2011, 09:55 PM

You flipped your MAP and TPS sensor plugs. Happens all the time.

Honduh · 01-12-2011, 04:11 AM

Plugs look the same probably switched.

jaybrown945 · 01-12-2011, 08:39 AM

i think there may be a bigger problem because this not starting stuff has been going on for awhile i think while its winter imma pull off the whole top end and do a new head gasket, timing belt, check all valves, seats, seals, warpage and anything else that comes up so when my license comes im ready

jpalamar · 01-12-2011, 09:49 AM

Why would you make a thread, my car won't start because I modded it rather then fixing it....

You know how I know you're a Honda owner?

scottsworld717 · 01-13-2011, 08:22 PM

How did you blow your headgasket from switching your intake manifold and blow your dizzy

OutToWinPAHC · 01-13-2011, 08:33 PM

Yeah? How is this possible? Did you perform a cooling pressure test, and compression test? 99.9% of head-gaskets don't just fail, they fail due to a bad surface to boot, mistorquing, reusing TTY head bolts, and head warp. Trans is out, I can help.... oh and FYI we weren't running that night.
