the only thing i could think of thsat could be wrong is the firing order is wrong . anyone have a diagram of the firing order and cap order also ?

Welcome to the site man! Umm not sure on that , if everthing is hooked up right then there shouldn't be a problem.lol Did the engine come from a scrapyard ?

I think the firing order on any Honda 4 cylinder engine is always 1342? Let me get back to you with this.

Is the gas tank full or empty? How many times have you tried to start it?

Edit: Yup, from right to left

Does this help: It's suppossed to be for CRVs but I don't think it changes anything

Edit 2: It's the same on my car

the motor came from a running accord . compr. tested . everything is good there . which is number 1 on the cap i have. it wants to run just wont fire over .


ive tried to start the car 8 times , just keeps turning over and over and over and theres 20 bucks in the tank . new plug and wires new cap and rotor..

Yeah you have to run the plugs to their very own. 1 goes to 1 and etc so on.

Maybe that's why.
