motor not starting

[oneslow240se]

okay after about two months i finally got the sr20det black top (s13 chassis ) to where i can start her up.... so far the motor cranks but won't start....

my vaccume lines are not all hooked up since i'm still trying to see where everthing goes....... a few of the ka harness plugs are not used till trying to make sure which one it is......

first try all the motor does is crank , my only guess right now is that when i changed the oil pump i had to take out the distributor? not sure what its called since i don't think sr's have distributor.... is there suppose to be a way to set this thing before it gets put back in? .......

was wondering if anyone has an engine bay shot with good views of vaccume lines and ground wires.....

you need to check the crank angle sensor and make sure its in time, do you have any fuel comming out of the injectors?

crank angle sensor? only sensor i remember taking out was the cam angle sensor and the crank pulley...... i think i rotated the gear on the cam angle sensor after removing it, is there suppose to be a way you line the gear up when you install it?....

sorry for the newbie questions, im not familar with nissan's and sr's so this is a learning curve for me....

cam angle senor is the same as crank angle sensor.

update: lined up crank to #1 piston and cas is lined up.... now motor starts ........ but idels rough then dies... i'm sure its because all my vaccume lines arnt hooked up and my ic not hooked up yet.....

anyone have diagram for vaccume lines? and im considering getting an fmic kit off ebay, any suggestions on which to go with? i've seen 3 that looks complete ......

thanks for the help sr swap allmost done and on the road ...

what plug is this? its located near the shock tower on the driver side has 1 wire......... does it get used?

[oneslow240se]

pic 2..... this one is located on the power stearing line lower front driver side and i can't find what it plugs up too.... unless i may have taken the unit it plugs too out?

[oneslow240se]

pic 3...... there's actually two plugs........ the brown tip and the blue tip smaller one and i have no clue where these went....

[oneslow240se]

pic 4........ on this one the blue line was T'ed and one went to the canister bigger line with rust clamp but where does the other one hook up too?and the next to it was also T'ed and one end went to the fuel pressure regulator but the other end goes to what?

btw..... not pictured ,there is also one vaccume fitting on the opposite side (lower) of the throttle body that i have no clue to where that hooks up to aswell....

[oneslow240se]

pic 5........ sorry this one is alittle messy........ this piece came with the motor..... is this the ignitor? all the plug the plugs where used but there are 4 vaccume ports......... 2 on the little green unit and 2 on the other one..... where do these hook up too?

sorry for the huge pics but i figure its a better view of what i'm trying to find out.....

[oneslow240se]

bump for some info...... especially pic 5..... do i really need those solenoid? one loos like an evap purge solenoid or something on each side of the inigtor?

[Rosco]

Yes the black piece in pic 5 is your ignitor.....

[oneslow240se]

and do i need the other two sensors on each side of it?

[Rosco]

I don't think you do but I'm not positive....I have a Q45 ignitor and it doesn't have any sensors wired into the harness.

[oneslow240se]

reason i ask is because some one had a drawn diagram and it shows that it is used but then some people say that they don't use it...... i followed the lines that get hooked to the two sensors and its all vacume lines.. is the purpose of this for emissions? i don't want to take it off not knowing its function or purpose for the car to operate normal....

thanks.....

bump for some input on the top ^ question and just to get my car to idle does all my vacc lines and i/c need to be hooked? ..

right now as is.... my car starts rpm would jump to about 2.5 then it would start to surge lower ..... motor shakes pretty rough as the rpm drop then dies
