Problems with wiring eg b16a.

well i guess you are making progress..

If you are sure everyhitng is there.. ie, fuel, spark, crank..

There its proabably sometiming issue which i am sure you already know..

Check as what everyone else has said ..

I would do it in this order:

Visual only check Spark plug firing order...

then
timing belt as if this is off you could end up with bent valves..

To do so.. jsut remove rocket cover...
Set to it TDC... ie. 2 up arrows to the top and the indicators (or slit) on the cam gears facing each other..

then get under the car and make sure your crank pulley's red line is align with that triangular prism on the lower timing belt cover..

Then if its all correct..

Go for the Dizzy...

i'll definately check the belt tomorrow... kind of worried now.. hope there's no problems with bent valves and such...

royce:(

just want some opinions... i'm thinking of removing the power steering from my si... should i keep it or should i dump it???

sorry blitz but thats wrong info


if the cams are set to TDC and the crank is set to the red mark then the valve timing is out

the cams set to TDC and the crank must be set to the white mark which is TDC not the red 16deg timing mark.

Iv seen lots of timing belts set with the red mark mistaken for TDC and the engine will still run ( like shit ) but you wouldnt bend valves.

good call..
I am not sure anymore than...
I always thought there was 3 marking and the red one being the middle one.. and the 2 outter white ones being the thresholds..
But what i noticed is that.. when i set to to red line and TDC... then i tighten the tensioner the maarking slightly moves off .. does that sound correct?

hahaha... guess what guys... the above was the problem... mechanic labelled the leads incorrectly and didn't plug it in the right way....

WOOT WOOT !!!!! the engine starts... well at least all the other stuff i have done made some sort of reassurance that my car is in good working order apart from code 14.

Now problem... code check came up with Number 14. iacv. Danny took it apart and gave it a good clean, but still threw the same code. What should i do?

note: [d a n n y] helped me heaps on the conversion. but he may claim to be king, (which he's not) but i'll give him a little credit.;)

thanks again guys

get out of here.. lol

That makes me king your books mate :P

I'm onto like my 15'th conversion and that happens to me when it's late at night ;)

Pull the plug off the IACV & see if there is 12V on the yellow/black pin with ignition on.
Then test if other pin(colour?,black/blue i think) is continuous back to ecu pin A9 on OBD1,A12 on OBD2.

A quick test is pull the A plug on ecu off turn ign on & ground the IACV wire on & off, & see if u can hear the IACV click each time u ground it.
