ca18det no spark help

[aaronscomp]

Ok so i put my ca in the other day the apparently the front cover was on crooked so how shredded the timing belt i replaced that its all good now but im getting fuel but no spark. Is there any way to test the coil packs ive got a spare q45 igniter do u think it would be worth wiring that in and trying any input would be appreciated would really like to wrap this swap up soon

I would be checking out the CAS.

did you check codes?

did it work prior to cooking the belt?

how did you find the toastt belt? did it do any damage?

The CAS looks fine my ecu doesnt have no led light because its blitz chipped and i dont no if it worked prior because i just put the motor in yesterday turned it over and roasted the belt there was no damage done to anything but the belt i found out because my brother was like it doesn't sound right wen u turn it over so i let him turn it over so i could hear popped the front cover off and it looked like a cheese grater was in there lol. i no i suck with grammer

Check your compression to be safe. You guys didn't wire the car correctly. Check the wiring job on the engine harness.

ya ill commppresion test it today but ya i redid all the wiring it was hacked up bad so idk something could be wrong with that but im pretty sure its all wired up right now

I did that with my timing belt.....it was from over tensioning the belt, and by doing so the belt was touching the top timing cover. It wouldn't crank up, so i pulled the top cover, and the the belt was chewed up from just turning the motor over with the starter. Bought a new belt, tensioned it up and put the top cover back on and turned the engine by hand...and I could hear the belt rubbing on the cover. Took the cover off, loosened the tension slightly, put the cover back on, turned it over by hand and the rubbing was gone. Been fine ever since

ya it sucks idk my front cover was missing a few bolts or something i thought i could get away with out them and i think thats what did it but i peaced some bolts together now and its all good

alright just did the compression test it checked out way better then expected Cylinders1 - 1652 - 1703 - 1704 - 165 After that i went head and wired a q45 igniter in im still leaning towards the harness due to how bad of a hack job it was

very likely.

though those tuned ECUs are the bane of most people's exsistance.

ya i think im gonna try coil packs and cas first just because i can get those parts for free then probobly a harness
