I'm working on my buddy’s civic and having some trouble figuring what’s
wrong. The car was running ok until he came out of the store and it
wouldn’t start. After having it towed to my house I started to check
things over. His mechanic said it was the timing belt. Sounds like all
mechanics. I pulled the distributor and tried to start the motor to see if
the rotor turned. It did. I’m guessing that the timing belt is ok. I pulled
the spark plug to check for spark. I got spark. I checked the fuel pump
inside the gas tank and can hear it running. I checked the fuel lines
coming into the manifold for flow and pressure, Its OK. I finally read the
codes off the computer. I got a #16) fuel injector system & #17) VSS
error code. Now the kicker is when I try to start the car it just turns
and turns. Now if I pump the gas pedal as fast as I can the motor all but
starts. As soon as I stop pumping, the engine dies. I then put some gas
into the carburetor and tried starting the motor, no luck with that. This
91 civic hatchback DX has about 160,000 mile and the 91 model has a PGM-FI
system on it. Any Ideals……..
