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) |

Good, but we are running out of things to check. Let's double check the continuity between pin one on the ECU plug to the neg terminal on the ignition coil. You are certain that you have spark at one of the plugs?

You are certain that you have spark at one of the plugs? Pin 1 and negative had good continuity between them. I have checked the spark via several methods over the past 2 days. I bought a spark tester... It lit up, I cranked and a buddy ground the plug, it sparked. Just to be sure I just pulled a plug and laid it down to ground it and watched thru the back window as I started... It also sparked: click, click click and I saw the spark jumping. There is ZERO fuel on that plug. The injectors don't seem to be opening up. I have heard about starting cars with starting fluid in the intake. We tried that last night too, but no luck. Any other tricks to at least burn some fuel? |
