hi 2day me and my dad was trying to start my car so we had to get some battory from my dads van and we have a battory was low on power. so we are here trying to get the car started. we omost got it started we can get the motor to turn over by it self i will let it do the vroo vroo vroo sound the sound of it turning over. or wan you go to start it it makes that sound that starts. well my motor will not start. so can any one tell me what can i do to make the car run?

 

Maybee if you put gass in it it might start.

 

ummm there is gas in it and if there was no gas the motor would not turn by it self

 

ok was it running b4? has it been sitting? is there gas in it lol? fill us in a lil bit more so we can help

 

????????????????

if there was no gas the starter will still turn the motor over

 

flooded..clean plugs..blah,blah,see unflooding procedure..expel fuel..

 

yeah its flooded ..... try on pumping on the gas more...lol

 

the car have been sitting for 10 years i think not running i was told from the guy i got if of. and i remember my dad puting gas in it

 

ok thats helps a lil.......check to see if gas is coming out the carb,also you will want to change the fule filters..put a little oil or atf down the carb unhook the coil wires and turn the motor over a few times wate a few min hook the coil wires back up and start it up..its going to smoke alot and you are probley going to need a strong batt or another car jummpin the batt i know i did mine didint want to start and it only sat a few months they dont like the cold either good luck

 

If you have spark and fuel, pull start it. Make sure you use a long tow rope and the brakes can stop the car. I assume no liability for any incidents you may have.

 

lol and dont get gas happy when the car starts
i would save this way for the last try... the oil or atf and a good batt should do the trick

 

ya with 81 on this one...a car that hasn't started in ten years ..maybe a touch of lube ..hell knows..it can't hurt the damn car..10 years ..damn..I've got socks that old!

 

how bad can the cold affect the rotor and can u use any automatic transmission fluid
does it do any harm or just eat the carbon and how much ya pour down well im sure i read befor thats why u put atf down da tube.myns going but seems to decied to not go sometimes sorry 4 jackin just thougt might get some clarifacation

 

I certainly hope you have changed them.

 

thanks guys. there is one more thing i need to ask. what do's GSL mean?

 

rotary motors do not like cold weather at all and a carbie rotary HATES cold weather they are just alot harder to start....im really not sure what it is about it but i konw some ppl that cars wont start in cold weather if they dont start them once aday if they let is sit for a week its a pain in the ***.......and the ATF trick works very very well there are alot of post about it tho some ppl dont like it caz of the lack of lubrication and its ruff on the the rubber seals...but it does a very good job of eating off the carbon build up and any oil or anything else that is on the apex seals...when you let a motor sit for a long time the seals sick for the gas dryin and leaing oil in its place....atf has been used for a long time pistin guys use it for sticky valves



GSL is 1 of the 3 models of the 1st gen there is gs....gsl....gsl-se they all come with diff options gsl and gsl-se have a LSD and power everything sunroofs bal bal bal the list goes on in the honda world it would be like si,ex,dx,cx,vx hope i help and didint get you more lost

if im wrong someone plz correct me

 

S is the base model, GS has a few more options, with the GSL you get a sunroof, lsd and 4 wheel disc brakes. The GSL does not have power everything, those are options. The SE has the FI 13b.

S-Sport
GS-Grand Sport
GSL-Grand Sport Luxury
GSL-SE-Grand Sport Luxury Special Edition.

 

thanks i hate putting out wrong info i never head of the S........did the gs ever have a sunroof?

 

Couldn't get my '85 to start and got some good advise on this site and got it started.
Look at the plugs. If they have gas on them your engine is flooded. Clean the plugs and leave the plugs out and turn the engine over for a few minutes (car is outside isn't it? Don't leave the plugs connected to the wires and close to the engine as thats a fire hazard!) Squrt some oil in each plug hole or down the cab. Replace plugs, try to start. It took me three times to get mine started. You will probible have to recharge your batt. a lot between turning the engine over. Best to do this at night as the people living next door to me almost called the fire dept as there was so much smoke.

 

Yes they did, by the dealer when they couldn't sell them. Stock sunroof is a GSL, you can tell by the screw **** to raise the roof and they have an air deflector inside that looks like a big sunvisor. The aftermarket ones have neither. The S is the basest and lightest model of all. It has no badging at all. Some of the early GS's didn't have badging either.

 

So is the car now running?

 

no the car have not started we are going to try all the ideas you guys told me. i need to right now is not charge the battory

 

my dad yesterday said that i think i need a carbrater repar kit. i think that mit not leting my car start up and the spark plugs had gas on tham.

 

your motor is flooded..............

 

spark plugs had gas on them = flooded
