No, I don't have the software to do it. The engine won't rev past 1000 or so, so I can't do the re-learn properly anyways

How about the grounds in back of motor, and fuel delivery, did you test pressure at rail.
Try contacting Katech for some advice.

You should get a real scanner tool like a TechII hooked up to it to see what's really going on or try and find someone with some tuning software around you. I think that's your best bet thus far. PredatorZ has a good point with testing pressure at the rail though.

Fuel pressure is good. Grounds are good, I'm triple checking the ones in the back of the head right now.

Fuel pressure is good while it's running and while you press on the throttle? Did you have someone watch it as you tried to give it some gas?

Well, I checked the teeth on the reluctor wheel and they look good. BUT, I compared pics of my crank as I was building the engine to my stock shortblock and the teeth are off by about 20 degrees. I assume a crank relearn won't fix this, I can't even get the engine to rev so I can't do a relearn anyways. Is there a way to manually set the crank position with tuning software?

Do you have a damper with timing marks or an electronic digital timing light? With it running this could give you an idea of how far off your timing (reluctor on the crank) is if @ all. I have done no tuning so my advise here won't be very good but I would think you could advance the timing via tuning. This probably won't fix the tach tho. Good luck and glad to hear she's runnin anyway.

I have a feeling the tach not working is related to the bad reluctor wheel. I have no timing marks on the balancer.

It kinda of sounds like what mine did. I couldnt rev past 2.5k but I uplugged my TPS sensor and threw it into limp mode and it revved all the way. Unplug the TPS sensor, throw it into limp. It if revs then its a PCM issue. My tuner told me whoever did my bench tune turned on ?boost management? whatever the hell that was. All of your codes are probably from you messing with the wiring. Unplugging a sensor will trip the code and wont reset until you either disconnect the batter or clear them through a scanner. Clear the codes and rescan it. I would also try unplugging your maf just to see what happens.

Are you running big fuel injectors on a stock tune? That can cause all kinds of problems.

With the TPS unplugged, the car wouldn't start at all, a few putts but thats it. Plugged it back in it it starts and runs the same.

Ferocity02

No, it has been tuned for the big injectors.

Ok, I took the motor back out and popped off the headers. I found that cylinders 1,3, and 6 had never fired. There was no soot AT ALL in the exhaust runners, and there was a heavy smell of gasoline. Cylinder 2 looks like it may have fired one or twice. The other four cylinders are covered heavily in soot. The motor has about 2-3 minutes of total run time so all the exhaust runners should be black from soot. None of the intake runners have any soot. These are just more signs of seriously messed up timing.

Your coil packs aren't plugged in the wrong order are they?

Ferocity02

iTrader: (60)

They are all on correctly. All the spark plugs work, just REALLY wrong timing.

are you running a double roller timing chain?

Ferocity02

iTrader: (60)

Yes I am, I am the one PMing you lol.

Well I got the crank out, and it appears the "professional" engine building shop installed the reluctor wheel on backwards, which is easy to do I guess. The teeth on one side are a mirror image of the teeth on the other side.

sorry to hear that that is what it is.. that means you gotta dissasemble..

glad i was right though

Ever since they said they had to take the wheel off and put it back on, I've been weary that they installed it incorrectly. I never checked though which is my own fault. But hopefully it will be running correctly by Wednesday.

It's pretty damn sad how little you can depend on people anymore to know what they're doing. Honest mistakes aside, if this shop was anything close to knowing what they were doing with these cars, they would know that this mistake could have and should have been easily avoided. I'm sorry to hear about this crap as I've been following your trials and tribulations since you started havin troubles. This is an excellent example of why so many people, including myself, do their own work when they can. It's just a shame that not all of us have the time or energy to be engine builders, and when we rely on someone else who says they are, things like this end up happening. Good luck man.
