Yeah its a shoulda have would have but didnt situation. well i did have some of the old pictures of when I was doing the swap and ill post before after pics. when I get the car maryland state inspected it will be on the road finally. anyone live around md and know of a place were it has a easy...
Damn Timing! argh but i cant say im mad because finally to hear it running has got to be a beautiful thing to anybody who has been stuck hearing only cranks. thanks guys you helped alot and I should have checked it earlier just couldnt get that damn crank bolt off to save my life. =]
Im sending in my car to JEimports to have it checked out. since spring break i havent been able to look at it but tomorrow im installing everyhting back on and having it towed. it could possibly be the timing and if thats the case im just throwing in my cam gears and having them tune and fix...
Yeah man. The engine is reinstalled minus the alternator and radiator fan right now. Yeah i stried starting it with starting fluid again and checked the spark once again but no go. The car cranks strong but no signs of it actually starting. Im trying to get someone who does swaps around the area...
good to hear from you again. Yeah i am thinking electrical so i took the motor out once again and cleaned off any ground wire sites and rewired the sensors that were throwing cel. I dont know about the cloggage because wouldnt the engine start on starting fluid? my spring break is ending soon...
yeah im running an obd1 ecu and obd1 dist. im drawing a blank on the ecu number but it works because it was in the 92 hatch along with this obd1 motor. why you ask?
Yea man its been killing me so i decided to lay off it awhile and concentrate on school and work. now that its spring break and im not going anywhere ive dedicated the week to finding out what the heck is wrong with it. Maybe the motor needs a hug or something...i dunno ill try anything. Im...
yeah i just got back inside. couldnt get the crank pulley bolt off while the motor was out. Fuel injectors i dont think clogged because i could smell the fuel on the spark plugs when i first installed it (about a 2 weeks from when i pulled it out of the donor). the ground wires i just checked...
Yeah I have spark coming out on all 4 plugs when out and grounded.
Let me bring you up to speed. Spark is good, Air is good of course, Fuel doesnt seem to be the initial problem because it refused to start up with starting fluid. (plus let me remind you both motors were running perfectly before...
Yea so guys I just got out on spring break and I also took off work to solve this problem.
I took out my motor once again but before I did I tried to start it with some carb cleaner and starting fluid. Didnt seem like it did anything. no sputtering no nothing just cranking with no signs or...
yea mine is 2 gallons of 3 year old gas and 2 gallons of fresh gas. haha maybe some fuel injectors may work out. ill keep you updated. im thinking of taking the engine out again and just installing the cams myself. aslo about to buy a skunk2 intake mani and some cams. got any recommendations for...
Hey guys i just remembered something... remember how i told you the car has been garage kept and not driven for 3 years. well..so has the gas. it ran fine on the barely alive b16a so i guess i might have overlooked it. the gas was about a gallon maybe 2 gallons left in the tank when i swapped...
not yet its been snowing and freezing rain here for the last 2 days... ive been writing down everything to do so it should be soon. im going to pep boys or some kinda store like it to see how much the compression test will run me. also with all the cranking finds out my "new" battery i just...
okay so i definetly fell victim to food coma haha pass out. alright i checked the car out again and i do have clearance to check it. ill take it off tomorrow and btw how much does a compression gauge cost?
i will probably have to cut into new intake manifold money if its over 100. =( (the...
Okay so i looked again and tried to find out what was wrong and i noticed that the arrows on my cam gears dont point to each other when they come side to side ( >)(< ) . this could be the reason but i dont know as to how it became like that... damn . its not too hard to change cam gears and time...
oh im sorry i meant the way they are on the engine. yeah my motor is hooked up the same way. im 100% positive that they are on right. unless rywire lied to me and for some reason my motor can run on a different firing order. =] yeah im sure its still something simple its just not coming to us...
ill check them on my way home from school. got test in history and math today sucks.. imma do major recheck of all things involved with start up on thur but it would be so sweet if it were just a blown fuse. ill buy some cake and dhl a slice for you haha
