SR Dies out after a few seconds, help (searched, video inside)

[idahotuner]

i really hope you figure it out so i dont have to deal with it farther down the road. liek when i get my new cam that needs installed. lol to replace the oen i broke. but timing is going to be a PITA.

waht happens if the cahins skips a link on the crank.

[duffman1278]

Yea I hope so too, this s*** is pissing me off already.

[White Comet]

^ i totally hear u, my friends car didnt run for about a year while we weeded out all the possible reason til we turned the cas and boom, worked like a charm

[drftsx]

cams will be easy to install if your timing is already right.

[idahotuner]

haha yea if i new all of this infor befor i took my old cams out then it would be.

[duffman1278]

Ok so I aligned it just like I showed you guys on the pics, and still NOTHING. I dunno what else to do

[White Comet]

this is one heck of a mystery than

[duffman1278]

This is getting ANNOYING, I'm just going to try different things. But it takes SOOOO long to keep taking off that stupid valve cover

[White Comet]

i have no idea any further than what i already suggested, i havent dealt w/ many timing issues so im not an expert or any thing. good luck figuring it out though

[duffman1278]

I'm about to go count each link from the gold to see where the silver ones should be at, wish me luck and I'll let you guys know how it goes, most likely i'll fail lol ftl

[White Comet]

oh well, at least ur optimistic about failing

[duffman1278]

Made an interesting observation! maybe this has something to do with it, so if anyone could help that would be awsome. I pulled out all the spark plugs and noticed that no. 1 and 3 were wet, you could smell the fuel on them, however, no. 2 and 4 were bone dry, even the pistons were dry. pistons 1 and 3 however were not. Could this be a possible suspect?

[White Comet]

could be, its the best lead u have right now

[duffman1278]

Hmm, read somewhere on the net that it might be wet because of no spark, better try another ignitor?

[White Comet]

perhaps, unless coilpacks are bad, ive seen that before

[duffman1278]

Yea, I had issue with the coilpack before I was able to start it, but I don't want to buy any, better test for spark on each one first.

[White Comet]

yeah def check em, but it wouldnt surprise me if thats part of the probedit- nevermind, that wouldnt prevent it from running, it just runs liek ****

[duffman1278]

Well I checked for spark, and sure enough, there was spark on both, so I'm going to let the gas evaporate tonight and see what I get tomorrow, but I doubt thats it. maybe new spark plugs?

[White Comet]

too much fuel? flooded?

[duffman1278]

Yea, but I realized something, I took out the fuel rail a few weeks ago to replace an injector, I didn't however, replace the o-rings on the rest of the injectors, I believe I'm probably leaking from the o-rings from those injectors for that reason. So on friday I'll got pick up the o-ring kit and replace this all.

[White Comet]

that sounds like it would account for ur issues, ive had this happen b4 on another 240 and it wouldnt run either so hopefully thats its

[duffman1278]

wish me luck man!

[White Comet]

indeed im really anxious to know now

[idahotuner]

dude i hope you get this figured out.my new cam should be here sometime it seems ike. lol then i can try to get my timine on too.

[duffman1278]

I went to the dealer yesterday to pick up my o-rings and insulators for the injectors but apparently they couldn't find the insulator that fits the SR Redtop because its different from the blacktop and up. So I have to wait till monday because this one guy that works there can look up the JDM parts so hopefully I can get them by next week and install them

[White Comet]

yeah, any luck. im so glad my timing's where it should be

[danstachet]

ok, this definately sounds like the problem. i had one injector that kept shredding o rings for some reason lol but got that fixed and the car ran fine... but that was only one injector. if you've got 2 then it definitely wouldnt run at all. good luck!

BTW: as for setting the CAS... you dont need to line up any of the chain links with anything. you just have to have it at TDC on the intake stroke (cam lobes on Cyl 1 facing away from each other. you can see the intake one through the oil cap) and then insert CAS appropriately. line CAS in about the middle and that's a good enough gestimation to get it running and THEN set it exactly

[idahotuner]

did duff man get it fixed yet.

[duffman1278]

Waiting on my insulators, they should be at the dealer by tomorrow, or if not, friday the latest. I'm going to install them as soon as I get the insulator.

[idahotuner]

aw i see ok, hurry up and get that fixed.
