Well I am getting spark... I tested the number 1 and 2 cylinders plugs and they both have spark. Now Im really stumped. I even checked all my fuses and relays with a continuity light tester. Now it has to be a bad fuel pump(even though it turns on and still gets fuel in the rails), bad Cranks Sensor, and or bad camshaft sensor. I need to check my fuel pressure, just dont have a guage yet. How much fuel pressure is adeqaute to start the motor? OR maybe Im not getting enough spark? What tool do I use to see the level of spark im getting?

Another possibility could be my fuel injectors are shot, I havent replaced them, and they sat in my back yard for a year when my car was down.

My car ran for one month after the engine swap and then it just one day started to loose power then would just crank but wouldnt start.

Im getting lost on this problem I have no idea what it could be I'm stumpped.

Might be a long shot, but check that your exhaust isn't plugged up. Have someone feel the exhaust tips while you crank it over.

 

yea well i would change the ignition relay thats what it was for me it was driving me crazy

 

I already swapped my fan relay for the Ign relay and still nothing. How much fuel pressure do you need to start the motor?

crank position sensor or timing chain

 

Well the Timing chain is brand new, its a double roller btw, so i doubt that is messed up. I guess I'm just gonna buy a new crank sensor and replace it and see what happens....

 

any other ideas?

 

double rollers have gone out before. just search user name caribe

 

well according to that guys post he would hear a clank in his starter preventing the motor form turning. My motor turns/cranks fine, just doesn't fire up. I don't thinks thats it. Its either a electrical problem, insufficient fuel pressure, or insufficient spark.

 

ttt...

 

help.

 

I would try pulling off your starter motor and checking the Crankshaft sensor, try replacing it. Check the grounds on the back of the heads.

 

Got it running again. It Eeded up being loose grounds on back of head and no fuel pressure due to shitty tune with cracked weld on the header. It even picked up some more ponies after all the little **** was fixed. It is still smoking though... I guess Ill driver it around now that the tune is right and hope my rings seal since the motor still has roughly 2.5k miles on it.
