have you looked at the timing belt??? if it's broken, sounds to me like your running into valves...time for a new head...better yet, just get another motor...if i am correct that is

i just put this motor in and replaced the timing belt. this is the first time i have tried to start it.

typesiracing · 05-28-2004, 11:19 AM

have you tried to start it before???? lol j/k

are you sure you put the belt on right and checked all the timing marks?

Floydy · 05-28-2004, 11:20 AM

Did you make sure that the timing is correct and not a couple teeth off?

jbird · 05-28-2004, 12:00 PM

the timing is right on and the motor turns freely by hand.

jbird · 05-28-2004, 01:59 PM

well i got it to turn over now it wont start. this sucks

racingtopher · 05-28-2004, 03:58 PM

is gas going to the injectors?

Citizen_Insane · 05-28-2004, 04:44 PM

Check for spark.

Check for fuel: crank it over a few times then remove one of the sparkplugs and see if you can smell gas

Just keep crankin it! Mine wouldn't start for the longest time and you know what was wrong? NOTHING!!!! It just needed to be cranked over a few times. Most of these motors have been sitting on a lot for 5 yrs or more so give it some time. Now if it won't crank after like an hour of cranking, you have a definite problem.

Floydy · 05-28-2004, 06:55 PM

It might be your fuel pump. Use a volt meter to check if the fuel pump is getting power. If it is then the fuel is cashed. Also check the main fuel pump relay under the dash.

jbird · 05-28-2004, 07:21 PM

it is getting fuel. im checking the spark now

jbird · 05-28-2004, 07:56 PM
