I have the weirdest CA's ever!

[eds13]

so this CA i have...

HAS good compression, HAS fuel, HAS timing, HAS spark, HAS air, and yet it will not run! just changed out the Coolant temp sensor too. tried different ignitors, CAS's, wiring harness, ecu's.

if anyone provides info to get this piece running i will be paypaling you a thankyou gift.

this is a final plee of desperation. please help me!

[ca18detgabby]

I would guess(just a guess as I dont know anything about your situation) that you have an issue with ignition relay or maybe the switch under the clutch(god I can never remember its name) that is the safety switch under the clutch.

if you have fuel, spark and air......... you should be running regardless of the timing atleast you should run.

can you push start it?

though I hate starter fluid what does that do?

how is the fuel in the tank?(old or new)

is your ECU good?

is the maf wired properly?

could you start at what you have gone over, so that we can take it from there? I mean there is a million and one possibilities.......

is it stock trim? tunes?

I suppose you could have a massive vac leak if it is trying to start and never does? or the maf isnt hooked up correctly maybe?

[Bwana]

ZOMG! Eddie posting on NICO again?!!?!??!!

[eds13]

I'm disparate man, lol.

maf is wired correctly.

tried several different ecus that i know are good.

fuel tank is fine, with clean 93 in it.

havent tried starter fluid.

it has a front mount, and 3" downpipe, 2.5" exhuast,

stock turbo, and injectors, and everything else.

ninja edit: it also cranks fine.

oh crap! just noticed you finally have more posts than me! bwahahaha

[Bwana]

No fire whatsoever? How do the plugs look?

[eds13]

wet, almost overly wet, almost

[ca18detgabby]

what happens when you crank it? video and or images would be great.

[DALAZ_68]

maybe recheck timing

[articzap]

I had a very similar problem.

3/4 injectors were stuck.

[meminto]

Although it cranks fine, does it have partial combustion, or nothing at all?

[eds13]

cranks just like it should, with the occasional pop,( every 30 seconds?)

injectors aren't stuck...

[meminto]

Ok cool, have you performed the ECU diag 3?

[eds13]

ecu's givin me no codes

[trevr]

How about this guy? Is it working hard or hardly working....

[articzap]

How do you know the injectors aren't stuck open. You don't.

[meminto]

No codes at all or code 55 (ie normal no errors)

[eds13]

55.

i hear them pulsing... but i should be able to get it to fire, just not, not do anything.

[zmannz]

I know its basic, but check your grounds and all connectors to be sure they are clean, tight, and appropriately connected. I once picked a 90 supra turbo for 500 bucks with "electrical" problems. Turned out the MAF wires were slightly smashed and there was a ground loose, no other problems whatsoever.

[articzap]

I bet $500 that you're flooding the motor with fuel or you're not getting enough fuel.

[eds13]

check all the grounds a billion times lol. i'll double the mafs wiring....

ok...so throw another set of injectors in it?

[articzap]

If you have a spare set, I'd give it a shot. Check the resistor pack also.

A word of advice, you can change injectors without removing the intake manifold. Takes about 2 hours doing it that way.

[float_6969]

Timing belt jumped...

[greensx]

Any chance did you do a 5speed conversion? If so check you clutch neutral safety switch(if thats what you call it, basically the wires that connect to the auto shifter) in the cabin. Mine was giving me hell but once i plugged those up my car started turning on like normal.

yeah i know, i've done it, it sucks.

checked it, its fine.

nope, stock 5 speed.

2hrs?!? 40 mins tops for R and R

[Acecool]

Ill go with either timing.. or reversed fuel lines......

give me a picture, and a sound clip :-)

[articzap]

Always takes longer the first time. We all know this.

[eds13]

i'll see what i can do for a sound clip. i had to rob its ingnitor for a buddys car to get it running lol

[splintercell]

are all you relays still in fuse box? didnt remove them for anything? also check fuses under dash...for some reason my car was doing something similiar and it was some off the wall fuse that was blown. doenst hurt to check.
