So, this is a very perplexing problem.

I was driving the car then it started to cease up so I pushed in the clutch and the car died instantly. I tried to start it up, but it just kept cranking and wouldn't start back up.

So far, I have checked the fuel, fuel is fine.. pump works.

Sparks work perfectly fine.

So, what am I missing here? I will be running a compression test on it tomorrow to see what that brings back.

So, to sum it all up:

1995 Del Sol S (D15B7 motor, SOHC no Vtec)

The car cranks and turns over perfectly fine

Fuel is perfectly fine, pumps into the engine

Sparks are fine, they spark well

My fear is that I slipped a bearing and maybe the piston is stuck. I am hoping for something simple but with my luck it never really is. :P

Thank you for anyone that contributes to this thread!

P.S. I need a diagnostic flowchart and wiring schematics for 95 del sol s (d15b7) I am going to go through all of the electrical to see if that's the problem before i scrap the motor.

Thanks,
-Steve

 

Timing belt could have skipped. Remove the upper plastic cover so you can see the marks on the cam pulley when you set the crank to TDC.

 

I will post my findings when I return. I am currently gathering all the information I can off the internet because I have absolutely no idea!

Thanks for your input!
