94' starts, rough noise/idle
#21
Aight, got a new problem. After finding out that putting pressure on the timing belt cover that the sound would change for the better from what i can tell. Tried taking it off. But it catches onto the valve cover. So took out spark plug things, unscrewed the valve cover and took it off to get the cover of the timing belt off.
Trying to check the timing belt if the cover was off, but now the car wont start.
So put everything back to way it was and still it wont start.

If you only left the timing belt cover off & everything else was on...Did you make sure you connected the grounding wire to the valve cover from the body?(should be somewhere near the driver's side headlight I believe..maybe closer to the AC fan)
I'm no mechanic but the cranking without starting happened to me before when i forgot to connect the ground wire from the body to the valve cover & an co-worker at work(who been a mechanic for 25 years) told me if that ground wire is not attached to the valve cover then it can fry your ICM or even your coil.
But of course..that's just my car...

Question.....When you took the valve cover off and the timing cover..What was left off when you tried to start your civic?

Ignition Control Module...sorry..

Unanswered question: Can an aftermarket alarm prevent a spark? And if so is there a way to trace it be the reason.
