75 LJet will not fire, finishing restoration Options

[malcolm2]

Ok I think I am good on the seat belt relay. YLW and YLW/red are spliced. And I have checked for continuity all the way from the starter to the key on that wire.

I have spark, points checked too.

I have fuel pressure, about 40 psi, checked between p-side fuel rail and cold start valve.

Starter works fine

oil pressure builds, light goes out on the dash

Engine timing is still at rebuild setting...0 TDC.

Re-built FI & Ignition & Alt harnesses

I did have trouble with the key switch, so the steering wheel is out, levers are not connected and I turn a screw driver on the end of the key connector to fire the starter, should not be an issue, correct?

I got the L-jet trouble shooting "no start" pages to try tomorrow.

Any other ideas? I am baffled. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Can you post a few pics, so we can rule out anything obvious

anything specific you would like to see? I'll snap a few of the items I mentioned.

The Rats nest that is the seat belt relay, mostly. YLW and YLW/red are spliced. Anything else of concern here?


fuel pressure gauge (temporary) between the pass. fuel rail and the CSV. going down quickly after 2 15 seconds tries at starting.


coil and connections


Top of engine shot.



Relay plate, uncovered.


no steering wheel, control levers, key switch. turning the switch with a std screwdriver.


I can take additional shots, just let me know what.

Thanks,

Clark
