I put a 6.0 in an 80 Trans Am and it just wont start.. At first I forgot the engine ground, fixed it and still wont start. Then the pump went out, still wont start. Drivers side coil bank isn't getting power, hot wired it but still wont start. Found a broken coil pack and two broken wires, fixed and still wont start.. So now I have all the little things fixed and I can't figure out what to do now, do you need an alternator and maf for it to start? I don't want to buy all the accessories and **** until I know it runs.

The computer has had everything deleted.

Cranks/no start? No crank/no start? You do not need a alternater or maf to start.

What is the tac module and break switch wires for? Would that be an issue?

Check the injectors. I tried to start mine for two hours until I figured out the injectors were stuck. I took them all out and tapped on them with a small rubber mallet and soaked them in seafoam for about 30 mins. I then put power to each one with test leads to make sure it was pulsing, when I put them back in after getting them unstuck the engine fired right up.

The TAC module controls the DBW pedal, don't think it'll keep you from starting.

The tac module is for the dbw. It might keep it from startin. Have you tried any starting fluid.

It starts with starter fluid. Im about to pull the injectors, im pretty sure they have power because one caugh on fire because of spilt gas lol.

Fuel pressure?

Was 55psi with the walbro but it burned up, haven't checked it with the new stock pump.

I bet your injectors are stuck, seems like its a pretty common deal if these motors have been sitting any amount of time at all. Mine fired up with starting fluid as well when I was having issues.

How much power?

Dman03GT

Just a 12 volt battery, the prong closest to the nipple for the clip on the injector is positive, and the other prong to a ground will pulse the injector. You'll feel it click in your hand... and if they were soaking in seafoam itll spit some of the seafoam out.

Check your fuel pressure before you pull your injectors out. I have also heard of people boiling their stuck injectors, seemed kinda strange to me but I guess if their broke can't really hurt. Might get a noid light to make sure you are getting a good signal to the injectors.

From the way that engine looks, it came from a j/y??
If so, you can about bet the farm the injs are stuck...I have done many sets of j/y injs that were in that condition. When you pull them out, if the tops are badly rusted.. most likely they are junk...

Boiling them??? A good way to melt the insulation on the coils...

That's what I thought, I think it should prolly be a last resort.

**** as many sets of truck injectors that get taken out. Might be just as easy to pick up some known good one for cheap.

Yeah it's a junkyard motor, but the truck was ordered just for me so I could have motor so it probably hasn't been sitting that long. Didn't see any rust anywhere. I'm about to soak them in sea foam, would it hurt them to leave them soaking 4 hours? Was gonna soak them till I get off work.

Simple check would be to just pull the rail (leave injectors on the rail) and turn the Key to the 'On' position. You should see a priming pulse out of the injectors. If you dont, then the injectors are clogged or they werent commanded to pulse. Check for command to pulse by hooking up a noid light.

I agree with everyone else, they are probably clogged.
