#222315 Did you check the timing again.. on the crank pulley. made sure TDC1 is aligned to the cover and the TDC up mark is UP on the cam gear?. with the 2 lines on the side aligned to the top surface of the head where the valve cover sits?

i havnt checked the timing yet. work picked back up so i have been driving my truck around. the civic is just parked in the garage now. i drive it around town though. it still has the same problem. but yesterday the car wouldnt start for the longest time. then i realised that the fuel pump wasnt kicking on. i had to put the key in the ON position then OFF, and repeat several times pefore i heared the fuel pump kick on. its just one thing after the next. hahaha.

By SLOW92CX
#249069 I put in a new air filter, fuel injector, fuel pump, thermostat, all hoses and belts, batterie, spark plugs, complete new gasket set (including head gasket), pcv valve, all fluids, tried all different octanes of gas. I think that's about it.
