ok, heres my problem. i just droped the engine and did some work to it. after i put everything back together, and try to turn the key, it wont start. it just cranks..... and cranks.... not only that. when i turn the key foward the four ways turn on in the dash. they dont blink. they just come on. along with the high beam light. can anyone help me out? also if anyone can come help me out that might be located here in san antonio, i would be extremly happy.

 

Hmmmm?? Sounds like maybe a ground problem.. Possible engine to body ground problem maybe. Engine cranks because it has a good ground, but possible body ground issue, hard to say.... That's crazy!

 

which ground do you think it could be. ive checked them, but maybe im forgetting one. this only my third time droping the engine. and the first this is happened

 

oh and i appreciate your help.

 

Check the grounds on the back of the driver side cylinder head

 

Make sure the crank sensor is plugged up above the starter. Has happened to me before. And make sure the 3 wires I believe are hooked up on the back of the driver head for a ground. Also the body to Motor strap is Hooked up on the front drivers side of the motor to the frame rail. Also make sure if u unplugged the wires for the harness inside of the car u plugged all of them back up. Good luck I hope u get it worked out

 

 

All the ones that I can think of near the engine. Hope that helps....

 

HI,
GAS/FIRE/COMPRESSION = STARTING...........
CHECK: FUEL TANK/FUEL FILTER/WATER IN SYSTEM
BATTERY CONNECTIONS
INJECTORS
IMPROPER GAP ON PLUGS/FOULED
BROKEN/LOOSE WIRES IGNITION/COILS
TIMING CHAIN FAILURE
CRANK SENSOR

THESE ARE USUALLY THE MOST OBVIOUS BUT NOT ALWAYS TRUE.......
BE PATIENT AND USE A PROCESS OF ELIMINATION.........
PULL A PLUG WIRE TO CHECK FOR SPARK.USE A SCREW DRIVER AND WATCH AS YOU CHECK FOR ARC AS YOU HOLD NEAR EXHAUST/THEY ALSO HAVE AN INLINE TESTER. I HOPE THIS HELPS YOU HAVE A BLESSED DAY..JIM

 

You mean fuel/air/spark? lol

OP, I see your car is a '99. Our years are known to be an electrical nightmare. Most likely it IS a ground issue. I can't tell you how many problems I've had due to faulty wiring.

 

Well........ I got it. Turns out one of the groung wire connectors to the d-side cyl head broke. Prob solved. Fired right up.... thank u everyone for the help..... I was gettin pretty upset
...lol

 

Glad to help!
