fuel air spark, you have 2, check the third. Is anything disconnected?

More details are needed.

[fastass]

ok well everything is connected and grounded the guy i bought the motor from removed the egr and all that on the back of the motor.. and i am having trouble figuring out where he said put the lines that run into the charcoal can.. but other than that its all together..

You didn't mix up the fuel lines did you? Is the starter good?

Like OutToWinPAHC said, more details are needed.

i know the fuel lines aent mixed up i made sue to mark them befor i took it out. pretty much what its doing is turning over and popping a bit. and right when i let off trying to start it, it kicks over once. but i think its out of time. just firing at the wrong time maybe?

[OutToWinPAHC]

are you positive you have spark?

[S13_love]

Hmmm ok...

Are the spark plug wires in the correct places on the distributor?

Im just throwin some ideas out there.

[fastass]

yes they are all in the correct places so i think, its in order from the manual..like i said im going to set my distributor and see how that works. and im absolutely positive im getting fire pulled #1 and put it to a grounding point and had good spark.

[kouki munster]

If its popping and kicking your timing is most likley off, search for a fsm and follow the direction on how to set the timing.

[fastass]

ok i got her running. but bad mews its idle is about 2 grand any input?

[fastass]

now i have it at the idle i want now.. but now when i rev her up it has no power. any input?

[OutToWinPAHC]

Fuel injector, Fuel rail or ring leaks, bad plugs, faulty maf....... check codes now she is running.

[fastass]

well it ran fine until i put my exhaust on as soon as i put it on and started it it just didnt have any power.. i think it may just be that my timing is off a tooth.

[OutToWinPAHC]

02 Sensor? Clogged cat?

[fastass]

and i have elminated my egr s***.. is there anything now that needs to be hooked to the charcoal canaster?

[fastass]

02 Sensor? Clogged cat?

no cat.

[fastass]

i know all i have vaccum wise is brake booster and the one that goes from the fuel rail to the mani.

[OutToWinPAHC]

CODES!

[fastass]

ill have to check..

LOL This thread is hilarious... You are one tough guy to work with.. I have to say.. PAHC has got some definite people tolerances...

and how is that?

[PyR0NiAk]

and how is that?

Let's see... You started by giving minimal info. Then, he tells you to check codes and you keep digging for more answers instead of just checking the codes. Your car needs 3 things to run. Fuel, Spark, Compression all at the same time. If you have fuel, spark, and compression, something's out of time. When you installed the motor, did you set the timing, or did you just leave it how it was?

yes i did set the time but i think im one notch off.. that would cause it to have high idle right? and with the exhaust on, causing back pressure now it has no power. timing right? bc i have went trough everything else and it all seems to be fine.

[PyR0NiAk]

I would def. check that timing again. Takes like 15-20 minutes at most.
