Ca18det not starting
Ca18det not starting
CA18det getting little to no spark after running for 2000miles began running rich then stopped running altother what could cause this loose install wiring , bad CAS, IGN CHIP,COIL PACK(S),BAD IGN AMPLIFIER? , OR DEAD ECU ??? can anyone help a brotha out
Hard to tell with this little info but these older ca18's had problems with the dist module that would go open when hot. If this is the case it should restart when it cools down. Also check the harnesses that run along the top of the engine and along the back of the firewall for breaks or bad connections by wiggling the harness when trying to start the car. The running rich could be coolant temp sensor but is more likely caused by your lack of ignition.
well ill let you know when i find out nijak84, this is a ca18 im buying this weekend and its not starting... but i think i can get this fixed for fairly cheap.. but the guy selling an i both think it could be the install wiriing or an ignition problem im leaning towards the ign amplifier my self but it could be any thing the motor has i belive 55000 on it so im sure its still alright
actually its not even starting any more i havent seen the motor myself im goin up this week somtimes to check it out an then pick it up. ive got some friends to help me diagnose it and well probably end up pulling it an rewiring the harnesses an starting from scratch to see if its just in the wiriing... or maybe its the DET sensor, but we all suspect bad ign chip wiring
well im buying it, cause ive talk to the seller n they think they have the problemn about fixed any how its most likely in the install wiring an its a good strong motor... its local an cheaper then a front clip or motor set from Jap so i said what the hell an he seems on the level. and its going to be a winter project
