Crank no start
Hello all, purchased an fc vert na with a 13b. Has crank no start issue. It's an 88. So far has fuel and spark that I have checked. Anything else I should look for aside from air and compression? From what I was told the rear rotor was loosing compression as t was smoking on cold start but hasn't turned it on in about 6 months. Thanks

Yeah we did we set the petal all the way down and cranked and even pulled out the trailing and leading spark plugs to clear all of the gas. Sorry I should have mentioned I forgot that part. But yeah we can't get it to crank over we even tried push starting it

Have you done a compression test? I know you were told the compression was questionable, but you may want to quantify that.

well I haven't acquired the car yet I'm trying to see if we can get it to move before my last resort of towing it. I didn't try the starter fluid because it's getting fuel but I'll try it anyways. Oh okay good to know, guess I'll remove the fuse to clear it like he stated earlier

Not that I'm aware of. Car is stock just minor bolt ons (short shifter, exhaust, aluminum radiator, t2 trans and final drive, t2 front brake calipers). No I haven't, I'm going to get to it next weekend when I head over on my days off but I have a good feeling that the compression numbers aren't going to look good. Only reason I didn't get to it today was because I got there kinda late and I was assuming the car would be running but guess that's my fault.

You need to clear the engine of any excess fuel,and that means to remove the plugs.
Pull the EGI fuse out(engine bay fuse block)..roll over the engine with plugs OUT for 30 seconds.
now squirt in a bit of oil(like a tablespoon) in the spark plug holes.
Roll the engine over again for 10 seconds.
Put in a Set of CLEAN or NEW plugs,Put the EGI Fuse back in and try to start it.
IF the engine is just flooded and was in good operating condition it should want to or will start up.
