fresh sr i'm thinking no spark?

[nissandriftky]

ok my first post here i've lived off the search button up until now so....help nobody with in 2 hours of me owns a 240 with sr20det red top so i come to the sr gods... neway i just put in my sr20 in my 90 hatch that had obvioulsy a ka24e....ect. got it in smic in wired battery...and cranks and cranks sounds good but never catches am i missing something?i've got to find a way to test my ignitor it was ebayer i know stupid but 80.00 sounded better than 250.00. i'll buy a spare if any bodys got one. well i just need to know if there's a way to test the ignitor and or coil packs i used the heavy throttle swap guide to do my swap and the rssport wiring diagrahm everything was easy as pie i'm just stumped. is there maby a ground i'm missing somewhere i'm grounded to the firewall with the little weived ground wire on the back of the head and of course the motor is grounded to frame, (by the alternator) thanks and if i missed it with search no flaming

you can easily test ignitor and spark by taking coil pack off of spark plug and placing maybe a phillips head screwdriver in the coil and lay it on top off the head. now either you or a friend can crank the ignition and look for spark.

ok i'll got try that i was just reading leroiboy's post,i believe he said he had fuel at the injectors but still wont run i don't know maby i'm looking in the wrong place for the problem.i'll check back

After you check your spark, check your wiring.

Also, have you pulled the CAS out and reset it? If so, did you go by the S14 CAS installation guide? If so, the S14 guide is 180 degrees off from the S13 in my experience.

Hey, Tenkawa, do me a favor when you get a second look at leroiboys problem on his post...please...im super confusedhttp://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread?id=245021

i did not reset the cas i'm not sure where to begin with that i could not get a freakn spark from my coil pack with or with out plugs attached...i'm going tomorow to meet someone to test my ignitor on his car so hopefuly it's bad and not other problems...

where is the how to for the cas reset thanks

thanks i'll try that after my ignitor test

[nissandriftky]

well i tested my ignitor chip today on someone else's running sr and it fired right up so my ignitor is good...next thing, him and i talked about going back over my wireing. there is couple sensors i don't think are hooked up on my transmission do to different wiring connectors does the 5-speed have a nuetral sensor that wont let it spark if it's in gear just curious?

i guess i take my harness back out and start over and see what i come up with

[nissandriftky]

ok i fixed my harness now new problems... great spark!!! fuel at rail, will run with starting fluid but but doesn't seem to have fuel being injected...is there a way to test the injetors i read the leroiboy thread and damn i hope my ecu istn't bad cuz his issue 's match mine to a tee...any one around the danville /lexington ky area they can let me plug up there ecu to see it that's the problem thanks for the help

[leroiboy]

well man, let me know what you come up with. yea, test the injectors by taking the CAS out of the head and reconnecting the wires to it and turn the rotor shaft by hand slowly-you should hear each injector click, and from my understanding this indicated two things: 1, your injectors work and 2, your CAS is good. if you have fuel sitting in the rail, turning the CAS will probably cause an injector to work and send the fuel down and it will ignite just as a caution(it kinda scared me,lol) hope this helps ya and if you get this solved soon, let me know because mine is at the shop now and maybe i can save some money. later...

[leroiboy]

oh yea, try posting in the regional section to see if anyone in your area is willing to meet up with ya.

[nissandriftky]

ok well i didn't do that but i did take the fuel rail off with everything connected tried starting it and only the injector on the fire wall side injected fuel the other 3 just stayed dry... kind of dangerous but whatever works. i put a voltmeter on all the injectors they all read between11.3 and 11.5 so i think there good and if one injector is working i would asume that the wiring is fine, please correct me if i'm wrong about that , neway my last resort is ......a new ecu? hope someone has an idea thanks oh red #62 ecu

[nissandriftky]

this is cool replying to myself ok well after i took the fuel rail off and did my injector test i swaped the wires and only the one (4 near fire wall) injector will fire, which might mean i have some bad injectors i had the fuel lines crossed at first so maby i got some trash in them.. neway to clean them or just buy new ones....anybody?

[S13FASTBACKSR]

if the injectors arent putting out fuel then it doesnt matter what they read they obviously dont work..definately would seem like thats the problem to your engine not starting is lack of fuel..I would replace the 3 injectors and probably even the other one for the heck of it..you got to go with what you know and you know 3 of your injectors are bad so obviously that has to be taken care of..replace those and let us know what happens good luck man

[nissandriftky]

well i went home and on top of all this i swapped #4 injector with #1 and now i have juice at 1 and not 2 3 4 , so i ordered some injectors i let you know what happens thanks

[S13FASTBACKSR]

ya so you definately have a few bad injectors hopefully thats your only problem good luck man let us know

[nissandriftky]

wel put injectors in and she runs like a dream sweeeet! took out for a spin and she pulls real hard.. i like!

[S13FASTBACKSR]

awesome glad to hear that man congrats

i'll try to post some pics in a gallerey so you guys can see what you helped me with.
