Honda Car Forum

I am having problems with the engine. after changing the timing belt,
distribuitor cap and rotor, wires, the car sound like acelerating but is not
doing a shit and some time when is a little cold do some bounces like the
pimp mobile.
i Neeed HELLLP

So the engine is revving but when put in gear it isn't going anywhere?
Not sure what you mean by the "bounces"..

Wow, quite a description!

Do you have a carburetor?

Have you checked the ignition timing?

I truly mean no offense, but you are a little hard to understand. Maybe
some more questions will help us understand your problem better:

This is an automatic or standard shift?
With bouncing, you mean like jerking? Like if someone hit you from
behind with another car?
When the car is finally moving, the engine speed is very high -- it is
making a lot of noise, but you are not going anywhere?

If it is an automatic, what sort of automatic transmission fluid do you
have in the car?
Hondas will not run right with non-honda approved fluid.
If non honda, you could have your dealer power flush the transmission
to see if that makes a difference.

it's probably the timing belt not set right. mistiming of the valves
drives like that. re-check your work.

yes that would be the answer man, the valves mistiming is fu.... ovious.
I heard the valves working, but the car is hardly getting speed, after a
little of time the car is taking more and more speed but the sounds of the
valves are notorious, i dont have any smoke comming out from behind or bad
gas economy.
How can i set the right timming???

if your d15b2 is the same as my 89's d15b2, then the crankshaft pulley
has to be at zero degrees & the camshaft pulley has to be set so the two
grooves are dead parallel to the head top and the word "up" is at the
top of the pulley wheel. when retensioning the belt, remove the spark
plugs, then torque the pulley bolt enough so you can rotate the crank
anti-clockwise, like you're trying to undo the belt. make sure the belt
tensioner spring is free to do its job, then tighten the tensioner.
rotate the crank half a dozen times to be sure the belt is set right,
recheck the timing marks, then retension the belt again just to be sure.
note: /never/ rotate the crank clockwise.

check tegger's faq site - think there's a link to some of the service
manuals that you can download.

You can move it clockwise a tiny bit, such as when you're trying to get the
valves just-so in order to adjust them, but rotate it any further than that
and you run the risk of placing all the slack on the long straight run from
crank to cam, and the crank may skip a tooth.

Honda's D17 apparently is the ONLY Honda engine that turns the OTHER way,
so the danger comes when turning the crank COUNTER-clockwise.

The link I think you're thinking of is:
http://www.hondahookup.com/manuals/

It's added to the FAQ now under the "General" category.
