I picked up a 93 h22a1 prelude for a grand and can't get this thing running for the life of me. I don't really know what kind of info to give you guys, but here is what i have deduced from this point. The injectors are good, 95 cc for 40 seconds, the plugs all fire, the timing is at tdc, and I did a paper ball test and it has compression. It does turn over and the plugs are wet when I pull them, I'm at a loss here guys any help would be appreciated.

All right, I'm an idiot. I couldn't figure out where I could find which post on the distributer went to which cylinder, but anyhow got that straightened out, but the car is running now. Next question. My a/c pully is frozen, the damn belt is just burning rubber on it whenever the car is running, so what can cause this?

some dumbass before you didnt add frion to it when it ran out so without lubrication your compressor locked and now you have to put another 300 or 400 in it. you can message me back if you got anything else ive got some **** running before like chryslers even O.O

Does it make a difference whether the a/c is on or off? If the a/c is on, the pulley is supposed to spin freely. If it doesn't, there's a bearing inside the pulley that's most likely toast.

i ended up cutting the belt, and puting a belt from the crank to the alternator, but the thing is, the damn thing turns just fine now. i can spin it freely when the car is off, but when it had the belt on it it didn't matter whether or not a/c was on. i picked up a jdm compressor and a bunch of other random parts, just waiting for them to come in the mail. car also has a weird leaking problem, thing just dumps fluid from somewhere on the tranny or backside of the engine. if i just let it run for a bit(an hour) then shut it off it just dumps fluid right under the tranny. its a big enough leak and puddle that it covers nearly the whole area under the tranny. any ideas?

Hope you kept the old compressor, the JDM AC compressor uses a wider belt, you should be able to swap pulley's though. I did this with the alternator that came with my JDM H22. As for what I'm guessing you're calling an oil leak, clean everything and run the car again to see exactly where its coming from. It sounds like the rear main seal.

this is true. while you have the tranny off you might want to invest into a clutch and pressure plate as well so you dont have to take it off again later. good luck man. keep us informed

i started a new thread on the oil leak, if you guys wouldn't mind taking a look i'd appreciate it. seems to be coming from the dizzy.
