I need some Help...

[DubsSuck]

my KA24de wont start...just got the new cams in and all t he timming marks are lined up but when we turn it over it just cranks and cranks...there is no spark whatso ever but the coil tests fine . what else might keep this bugger from firing correctly?

[DubsSuck]

well i just bought a ignition controll moduel.. i hope that helps if not i'll post again.

[DubsSuck]

The controll mod didn't work Now wer're thinking fule pump.. let me know if you know anything

[-RJ-]

can you hear the fuel pump prime when you turn the ignition?

[pancho y onions]

Double check and see if you connected all sensors back. Also do you know if your getting spark or are you assuming your getting spark? Also make double check your dist/rotor is pointing to the NO.1 spark wire on your dist cap at TDC.

[DubsSuck]

No the fule pump isn't getting any power at all. only thing getting power is the fule leve sensor

[DubsSuck]

we checked all the sensors and everything is pluged in.. we're not getting a spark at all.. the coils resistance was right and everything but something is telling it not to spark. we checked the timing markes and made sure it was TDC. Did this by using good ol chilton. also we checked the EGI pump relay and fuses and they are good...

[DubsSuck]

its so cold

[DubsSuck]

Ok so we pretty much got brainel fisted..We thought that the fule pump was bad to check we put direct opwer, from the battery, to it.and it works.. so we figured that it just wasn't getting any power.so we used a multi metor and checked the grownds and all the other wires and they are fine... Why isn't this thing getting power?!?

[pancho y onions]

Is therealot of rust ontop of your sending unit?Check your wires on the send unit. You might have a lot of rust on there check to see if any wires are loose. Also you guys didnt drop the Distrbutor did ya?

[DubsSuck]

we had to take the disdributer appart to make sure it was clean and at the right spot... as for the sending unit.. where might that be?

[pancho y onions]

if you look right next to your spare tire holder on the right side you will see a cover with i belive 4 bolts holding it and rubbergromet in the middle. Remove the 4 bolts and and lift the cover up. There you will see your wires.

[DubsSuck]

Oh the sending unit for the fule pump!yeah, we checked that and everything had a good conection

[-RJ-]

maybe your plugs and wires are bad? try switcing them with someone else ka and see if that works

[DubsSuck]

well the coil isn't getting any power, if the wires were bad they would have at least a small amount current, unless they are cut... which they're not. Im thinking maybe distributor, cause something is telling the ECU not to give the coil power.. am i right in thinking that?

[-RJ-]

i thought the coil was getting power, yeah that sounds about right or you ecu could be shot.

[DubsSuck]

i thought the coil was getting power, yeah that sounds about right or you ecu could be shot.

is there a way to check the continuety of the ecu cause i really don't think its getting power

[pancho y onions]

Did this all start right after you put the cams in or was it like that? Also open up your ecu maybe one of the circuits might of burnt out. Actaully if i remeber right it was kind of a common problem with the s13 ecu's.

[DubsSuck]

yeah its got a new head and cams

[tre4s13]

Check the blue relay behind your fuse panel (kick panel driver side), and also check the fuel pump relay (passenger fender well near battery.)

[DubsSuck]

you'd think the fuel pump relay would be the first thing i checked.... well it was. and if you would have read the whole thread you would have found out that its fine.

I'll check that other thing you were talking about tho.

[DubsSuck]

Oops that was some where else i thought i posted it on this one but i didn't.. sorry about that.. but yeah the fuel pupm relay is fine.

[DubsSuck]

ok im almost positive the ECU isn't getting any power. we tried getting codes from it and i wasn't doing any thing. the engien light is suppoesed to flash and that wasn't even happening.so how does the the ECU get Power?

[pancho y onions]

How are ya checking your check engine light? The way to pull off codes is be removing the kickpanle and look at the leds from your ecu flash. Also how postive ar ya its not getting power to the ecu. Just cause the CEL is not on does not mean its not getting power. Also check your IGN switch.

[DubsSuck]

sorry i forget to mention that we pulled the ECU and turned the pin CW the whole way waited 2sec. then turned it ccw all the way back. and none of the indicator lights flashed.

So ya.. what would be a way to check to see if its not getting power.

[DubsSuck]

i read some where that if the light on the ecu is burnt out the check engien light will flash as well.

you're my hero mani need a new ginition switch
