Talking Got Clear Corners, Now Car Won't Start

I know its a coincidence, nonetheless, the car doesnt start... my poor ek. the engine light came on when i tried to start it the second time this evening, and the starter is fine, but no catch...any ideas?

this is a new engine to the body, its only been really driven a day or so...

if it doesnt magically start working, off to the mech that sold it too me..good thing hes my friend

i doubt it would be the clear corners obviously.... your best bet is to just take it back... even if it magically works again still take it back cause clearly something is not set up properly

Haha... funny story

first of all you say "my poor ek", but if you have a 90 civic, that would be designated an ef platform.

about your engine, under the head, to the pass side of the exhaust manifold, where the tranny bolts to the block, you'll see a flat area with a code stamped in. What's the code say... how about a pic of the engine?

Yes is it a ZC....see the seven page thread for more details.

Seems like you EF is confused ek......perhaps you confused the car and now he doesn't know how to start.

My bet the car engine is a ZC. Does the timing belt cover hit the hood slightly? If so....definitely a ZC.

Oh does it look like this?
