doesnt want to run??
i have a 97 accord 2.2 non vtech at, i did a top rebuild got all back together and started right up, heres my problem it has very rough idle on start up and acts like it doesnt want to run also the no. 3 has lot of carbon build up on it , replaced cap rotor plugs wires, cleaned egr, double checked vacum lines and checked for any leaks using dishsoap in a spray bottle, i am at witts end please help
#3
dishsoap I use to check for leaks in positive pressure applications, like tire leaks - where the air is coming out and makes bubbles.
negative pressure - vacuum, sucking the air in - wouldn't create the bubbles.
$.02 = too basic

Is miss present at all engine speeds? If yes, it may be #3 has lost compression. Check compression on that cylinder? Low compression could result from improperly seated valve, cracked head, or poor ring sealing.
good luck

i checked compression on no. 3 it read 172 thats normal right? i ran back through all sensors and had no change when they were unpluged or plugged back in, checked all vacum lines again all connected right, i dont know where to go from here
#7
Is cylinder miss all the time? If yes, then either ignition or injector issue since fuel is getting to other cylinders. Suggest checking for fire w/ a timing light connected to #3. No flash means no fire.

Does the miss ever go away...sounds like it based upon your post.
So my next question, once it starts and runs and the miss goes away, if you shut if off and restart it within just a few minutes....is the miss still there?

upon restart miss was still present, doesnt matter now, got new compression tester just because and re-tested all cylinders, no. 3 was reading 85, no. 4 was reading 89-90, i have since pulled motor and swapping in a v-tec 5spd from my first project that is my daily drive, wanting to do a cd6 clone but not sure yet i am still open to suggestion, wanting power, reliability, and to feel vtec
