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)

You should of had 12 volts from pin 10 to 5,,pin 10 to 16 and pin 10 to 17. Being that you don't have 12volts from 2 of the 3, indicates a faulty ground somewhere. I'm not sure if those 3 (pin 5,16,17) are the same wires that goes to the tin? The schematic just tells me that they all tie to ground. In your case, it's not. Maybe Jeff can chime in and enlighten us to where these 3 wires tie to ground.

We shall see. I would expect somewhere to be IN THE HARNESS, right? I would hate to tear into my new harness, but it is seeming that is needed, or send it back and let Jeff do it. He can probably check his records and see if he put new wires in, or if not, maybe an old one broke.

Thanks.... (SO FAR anyway)
