Hay folks I picked up this project for my nephew.
93 Black Hatch. I had, what I thought, a good KA24de motor in my garage.
I cracked open the valve cover to lube the cams prior to installation.
I damaged the gasket and was at the store when I noticed that the valve cover gasket for a 93KA was not right for my cover. I asked for a 96 gasket and it was a match.
I never came across, in reading, that there were differences. There are.
The power steering and bracket are different.
The distributer- is different connector instead of 2.
After engine installation; it would rotate, but not fire.
I rechecked the compression, reset the timing, Not firing
I discovered there were unconnected vacuum lines in the back- Research showed a different configuration for vacuum lines between generations.
Worse yet- my wire harness was missing the 2 connectors for the EGR system.
I Blocked off the EGR system with an Enjuku Kit.
At this point the engine rotates freely but will not fire.
I have 3 sets of injectors all were wet in the fuel rail.
My plugs smell wet.
I can only think that I might need a 95 and up ECU because of my distributor now only needing one plug.
Any help would be greatly welcome.
Thanks.
