Code 21,34,82

[streetspirit7]

My 240 won't start, It turns over I'm getting spark, and fuel. I pulled the ecu codes and came up with 21, 34, 82. I had the distributer out and put it back in, i think I did that right. I turned the engine over till I felt air come out of the #1 cylinder, then set it to top dead center mark on crank, then set the distributer to #1 plug. is this right? If it is why wouldn't she start? It ran before I pulled the distributer. I've searched but not found a problem like mine. I thank you for your help in advance.

pull dist, turn motor once around to tdc again and reinstall. it may have been on wrong stroke.

[streetspirit7]

But if I had my hand over the #1 hole while someone turned the engine then it should be on the right stroke when it blows air out, right?

[s13sr20chris]

it will blow air on the compression stroke and the exhuast stroke.

[streetspirit7]

Is there a better way to tell what stroke you're on? Because if I try to start it, how will I know if it's not back on the exahust stroke again when I set it again?

Also, I was looking at my crank angel sensor, and the connector for it won't click together, will the car start if that's not hooked up?

[s13sr20chris]

you can pull the valve cover and look at the cam sprocket to see when you are at tdc on the intake stroke.

it will not start with that unhooked.

[streetspirit7]

If the Crank angle sensor is not hooked up will it still be getting spark?

[s13sr20chris]

nope.
