Yet another cranks but no start thread

[Hatchman]

Before everybody flames me and tells me to search I searched my balls off(not literally).I have a S13 blacktop its getting fuel and spark and the ECU is giving a code 55 but its still not starting.The spark plugs are a little wet with fuel and they have some carbon on the tips.I checked my injector o-rings and they looked pretty good and it seems to be in time.Please help I know everybody gets tired of seeing these threads.

Air, Fuel, Spark, Compression, On time, right amout. which one dont you have

[Hatchman]

Im not sure but i just took off the coolent temp sensor and it looked pretty good but when i put it back on the ECU is giving me a code 13.

If you are getting fuel and spark,id probably say check timing. Just because it is sparking doesnt mean it is sparking at the correct time!

does it even sound like it wants to start?

Leaky injector, and please, "looking" at your o-rings and other such parts does not automatically mean your parts are good. Trust me, I went through this BS on my SR. I ended up changing my o-rings out yet my old ones still looked good, but they were causing a leak. Since you said your spark plugs are a little wet, that most likely means their leaking. Replace the o-rings, allow the gasoline to evaporate by removing the spark plugs for a few hours. Don't forget!!!! Lubricate your o-rings with oil, plenty of it. Make sure you install the injectors RIGHT, don't walk them in with the caps, you have to pop them in.

Also, before you start it up again, crank it a few times with the fuel pump off by removing the fuse for the fuel pump. You also should check your compression, and recheck your timing just like 240_sex mentioned

Ok tomorrow I'll fiddle with my timing and go down to the nissan place and get new injector o-rings just to be sure.Can't you use 95 and up 300zx tt upper and lower o-rings.

[duffman1278]

The upper o-ring is part no. 16618-10V05. I don't know the lower one but iirc, the injector from a 91-96 TT Z32 are the same.

[Hatchman]

Alright thanks man I hope its just the o-rings, I've been messing with it for about a month and im about to go crazy

[duffman1278]

haha try going 6 months!!! And post up the results to let us know what happens

[Hatchman]

I've had my car since march 6 2006 and ive drove it a total of three times and that was with the ka.Its been taunting me every since lol.I'll tell everybody what happens when I put the o-rings in.

[Hatchman]

Finally I get the o-rings in and its not the problem it does the exact same thing so now im stumped does anybody have anymore ideas?

[goalguy02]

Mine was doing the same. Had fuel and spark at wrong time. My Crank Sensor was out 180*.

Set motor at TDC (second mark from left on crank pulley), pull Crank sensor out, then rotate the motor one complete revolution (until second mark lines up again) re-insert crank sensor. The correct way is to look for two dots on end of crank sensor. There is a small line also on the end of the sensor. Line up the dot to the right with the line. Make sure that is pointing straight up and insert CAS. Tighten it down and try it again.

Good luck!

I tryed that but it does even worst (it backfires really loud)but when I turn it back it starts up but it doent stay running unless I floor it but even then its like its idling really ruff.

I was just reading morgasmo's wont start thread and he said he had a type x harness and 62 ecu and thats why his wouldnt start.I have a s13 blacktop and when I sent my harness off they said I had a type x harness but I have a 62 ecu,do you think im having the same problems hes having.

[kooboi]

prob ur plugs r still leakin?
