NO GAS...This is a bad thing?

[JAU663]

Hi Yall,This drift truck that eds13 and I are working on has become a real pain...engine wise. Myself and several other mechanics have checked wires, compression, spark, etc and still we can't get the ca18det to run or fire. The fuel gets all the way to the top of the injectors, but no gas in the cylinders. The injectors are wired and pulsing normally, but still no gas. We have tested and traced all wires to and from the ecu and all are working properly. PLEASE HELP!Thanks,John

so it will run for a second or two on starting fluid?

[eds13]

we haven't tried that because of the massive boost leak it would have. right?

[driftin8ez]

nope... leave the maf umplugged and spray it directly into the throttle body. She should do something if you have everything else besides the injectors setup right. I drove my car open throttle body with just a cone filter about a mile and a half from where i swapped the motor in the second time and where i had the intercooler setup. LOL

hahaha thats sweet. will mess with it later on today, i have to go get some braided lines for my other CA today.

[driftin8ez]

Ya it was a trip all right. So do you have any pictures of this drift truck with a CA in it?

[eds13]

i have some of the body work, theres a thread in 240 gen. none with motor in, they are not uploaded yet

[driftin8ez]

damn dude! that was one sick thread. I was drooling none stop for about 20mins while i scanned the thread for more pictures. Hope you can get the little engine that could going so you can see how that thing does on the track. I know the motor wont let you down ones it gets going that is.

[eds13]

Im having the same problem with my CA, I have fuel to the top of the injectors but its not getting into the cylinder. I have checked everything and am running out of things to try.
