90ls having timing issue and need some advice

[jarvalarv]

i have a 90 acura integra ls it has fuel and spark i replaced the ignition switch dizzy cap the rotor the coil the main relay the spark plugs has brand new fuel pump and the main relay clicks three clicks check engine light comes on three secsonds then turns off. the car when getting jump since the battery is dead now the car wants to start it chuggs and turns over very strong you think it will start then just never does has backfired white smoke out of the intake not sure where else to go or what ti check next maybe the timing is of either the ignition timing or the belts of a few teeth? please if you have any ideas of what to check nest i am absolutely tapped out and about to get rid of a b18b with vtech head with only 155,000 on car

before i replaced all that this happened the car lost almost all power while driving i couldnt go over 30 even with the pedal to the floor then i just it off and coudnt get it started again a honda guy told me to hold the pedal to the floor and see if itll start and it did drove it the rest of the way home at 25 mph then shut it off again then it started but would die or run like crap then stop starting and just would crank so i replaced all those parts and now it still does the same thing just turns over almost starts but just wont.



how do i do the timing and is it just the timing on my distributor thats off or is it my timing belt slipped teeth
i have no idea how to do timing should i even try this my self or just have it done at a shop but i see that costing me a buttload of money i dont really want to spend on it

My 92 integra is doing the same exact thing! Check the Cat. converter after you drive it for like 10-15 minutes.. mine was CHERRY RED!! Yours could be plugged up bad too!! Also check the main relay and ecu along with the throttle body!

Who built your LSVtec motor?
Check the cat like mentioned above.
White smoke sounds like a possible coolant leak into the cylinders. They might have used the wrong headgasket when they assembled the motor.
It's difficult to diagnose an issue like this without knowing more about the motor.

i never thought about the cat its bad i know that i need it replaced so that could be my non start issue

and i have no idea bought it from a guy who had no idea what he had bought it does seem like the gasket on the head isnt in best of conditions
