ok
well definately getting fuel pissing out
how do i check for spark?
yes i bridged those points
firing order is fine
with the CEL - how do i connect it up?
wire one side to a light bulb and ground the other side?
should FLR show up with a test light?
check for spark by pulling a lead off a sparkplug and stick a screwdriver up it. then put the shaft of the driver really close to the valve cover. u should easily see a nice strong spark. if its faint or none at all, u can start ur trouble shooting.
to wire up the MIL
A13 of the ecu to a globe, then the other end of the globe goes to IGN power 12v
you can test the FLR signal with a test light, but its a ( - ) trigger. so you have to connect the aligator clip of your test light to +12v then the tip of your test light to the FLR.
ok well part of the reason is that my timing is off..
when my cam pulley is pointing upwards
the cover for the water pump isn't aligned with the notch on the crankshaft pulley
the notch is about 1-2 cm to the left of the pointer on the water pump cover..
i tried turning the engine over a few times....is there a chance my valves are damaged?
thanks for the tips guys i will also try the other things that have been mentioned.
another question - as soon as i wire my CEL; will it flash immediately with the code?
no. turn the ignition to 2nd click ON (which primes the fuel pump etc) - then the code will show
can it be anyb type of light bulb?
like a regular house bulb?
obviously it wont be permanent
cant find a small one at the moment
oh, and there is spark i just tested each of my plugs
thanks for the tip WEQ..
if ur motor has not been running for a few months u may need some aerostart to help wake it up also u need a efi feul pump to run efi and u cannot use a carb pump as it has very low pressure
ignition timing at this stage is not important but if ur worried push it all the way back to optimise the timing for low revs making starting it easyer
cam timing is very important and should be set correctly but if its off by 1cm u prob dont hav to worrie
but try aerostart!!! or some feul in a spray pack and spray it through one of the spark plug holes then QUICKLY skerw the plug back in and cranck over
ok i will try that
yeh my timing is off by about 1 or 2 cm
how much off would it have to be for it to affect the starting up?
if timing isn't the issue i'm going to have to look into other problems
i know i'm definately getting spark and fuel flowing (yes i'm using efi pump).
My injectors are also fine AFAIK,
As I said earlier the ECU would start compensate for off timing at 16 to 24 degrees. Any more and it won't start.
