OK so here is the deal...
I ran my car outta gas at the gas station (lucky me, eh? long story) so I fill her up and go to start the car. engine turns over just fine, really healthy sounding, never fires up. So I figure my fuel lines have to be purged... so I bypase the fuel pump relay and open up the pressure release screw on the filter to get all the air out.. there was a lot. .. go to start up... still nothing. So I check the rest of the fuel system... disconnect the fuel pump (which on my car is in front of the left rear tire) and check it... it's fine... fuel comes out of the tank fine... all the lines are clear... then I go to the fuel rail.. I take it off and fuel spurts everywhere... (mind you, I am doing this all at the gas station parking lot) I take a look at the injectors and all of them seam to have this black grit on the injector end... strange. anyway... two of the o-rings are bad on the injectors (not sure where to get new ones? these are mugen injectors)
anyway... I am thinking, with all the fuel in the fuel rails like that, maybe the injectors weren't opening up like they should... and I think that my disty has gone bad because that is what determins the pulse of the injectors, right? Ive heard that honda distributors have a habit of just quitting (mine is only 10k miles on it) KamiCRX said he went threw like 3 distys on his integra.. I've never had one go out so I dunno if this is the problem or if I need a new ECU....
I can't check the ECU codes cause my ECU was custom made with no LEDs (very smart, eh?) I guess I'll hook up the stock ECU and see if I get any codes.... but I dunno if the ECU can check that stuff? well... any help would be appretiated... maybe I'll just get a new disty. they can't be that expensive, 200 or so?
thanks guys and girls!
