Ran well before storing in a dry shed.
Evaluated the fuel system and installed new: fuel tank fuel level sending unit fuel tank screen fuel filter Cohline 2240 & Gates Barricade fuel hose rebuilt Bosch 3 port fuel pump (4) Standard Motor Products JF67 Injectors Verified the stainless-steel tunnel and engine fuel lines are clear. Applied 12 volts directly to the fuel pump to prime system. Fuel is circulating (can hear the gurgling of the return in the tank). Ignition in the ON position the fuel pump primes (can hear running for 1-2 seconds). Ignition in the START position fuel pump runs (verified with voltmeter, can't hear running due to engine cranking). Ignition in the ON position apply throttle can hear fuel injectors click. Engine will run with starting fluid. Could it be fuel pressure? Fuel pressure regulator go bad from non-use or E10 fuel? (E10 fuel destroyed my Cohline 2134 fuel hose and Bosch fuel pump) Don't know if this could be a factor, sometimes in the START position, nothing, have to return to ON position and retry. Failing ignition switch? What else should I look for? Found a video from May 2017, started after sitting for 5 years. ![]() ![]() |

Not sure I am understanding certain phrases being used that are not clear to me.
To crank the engine, spinning the starter, requires the ignition key to be in the engine start position. The engine “start” position and the ignition are not on when the key is in the accessory (“on”) position. Is that what you are describing? The DJet ECU operates the fuel pump only for a couple seconds until ignition occurs, and if the engine does not start the ECU turns off the fuel pump. It’s a safety feature to disable the fuel pump if the ignition is off. As in an accident. The trigger points spin with the rotation of the distributor, they ride a cam on the dizzy shaft and are always on duty when the engine is spinning. They initiate the fuel injection pulses to each of two injector banks, once each bank is fired, the ECU processes the info from the other sensors, to calculate and control when the injection pulses stop. All this to say that when the ignition switch is in the start position, with the engine cranking, the noid lights should light up. If only in the accessory position how is the engine crancking? If you are using a remote starter switch to engage the starter, I am not sure if the ECU is including the trigger points to start the injection cycle and fire the injectors. |
