is it firing on all cylinders? Fouled plugs?

ebach007

whats the simplest way to tell if all cylinders are firing? unhook plug wire and check for spark??

I dont think my plugs are fouled up...didnt want to take them out if possible. I might just go buy new ones for the heck of it tho...

Took off intake and sprayed starter fluid into intake manifold, car would still not turn over. Could this be a timing issue??? if so, whats the simplest way to check the timing??? I dont own a timing light...

Have you even verified spark yet? Pull one wire at a time, put a screwdriver in it and place the screwdriver near any good metal (unpainted) ground. Observe spark while cranking. Do this to all four. If you appear to have strong spark pull your plugs and check their condition and smell for fuel.

no, sure havnt. wouldnt a small bolt work as well, instead of a screwdriver? Im almost positive I have spark...I will check for spark when it cools down alittle bit later this evening...and if i do smell fuel where the plugs go, whats that mean?? forgive me for all these NewB questions...

Ya verify spark, dont guess, diagnose. If you do smell fuel then that means you are getting fuel which is good.

Spark plugs are about a 5 minute job on a Honda. Check them.

Yeah I know. Checking spark as soon as my friend gets here at about 10pm tonight. So Im kinda at a stand-still right now.

ok I have spark and fuel to all four cylinders. plugs were fine too, just alittle dirty... Whats the easiest way to check the timing?

I opened my ECU to see if anything was fried, nothing was. But I did notice a green sticker on one of the components that says Skunk2. whats that mean?
