A little problem.. This is what I got. The Engine along with everything else is in the car, and functioning.
This is the problem. I go to start it, it back fires, sputters, won't barely even fire, and it floods.
This is what I did to check it over..
Everyone kept saying timing, so I took it all the way down to the OPTI, and turned the Crank until the Cam went to 9:00 position, which was #1 TDC, and placed the OPTI correctly on it(only 1 hole for it). The Timing Chain went on correctly(dots touching), so now there is no way the timing is messed up.
Then I re-set the lash on the Rockers since they now have oil in the Lifters, so that is good.
I checked all the plug wires, and they are in the correct spots. Fuel Injectors are in the right spot.
The Starter works very well, no problems there.
It fires a couple of Cylinders, dies, fires a couple more, and it's done. That's with my foot to the floor. I think it's flooded, so I have to check that out.
I think it may be a Sensor somewhere, everything mechanical checks good, but if anyone has any input, throw it in..
