Engine will not start
Friday, May 13, 2005 7:55 PM
Ok, here is what is going on. I just built up my engine with a supercharger and top end. Got the reprogram. Drained the tank and put 92 in it. The car will not start. It sounds like it is backfiring still. 2 or 3 in a row. The engine turns over. You can smell fuel from the tail pipe. I am getting spark.

How to you check the injectors, is there a resistance check you can do?
Also, this is what I have found out over the last two days.

Coil Packs are good (verified at autozone)
IDI computer is good (autozone)
Crank Pos Sensor is good (Tech2)
Cam Pos Sensor is good (Tech2)
No codes are being displayed
Tech2 says my car should run
Spark Plugs are brand new
No major nioses
Lifters are tapping (they are new)
Cams and Crank are turning
Car exhaust pops more when you open the TB


I'm getting very desp. about this.

If you can give me an idea on how to get this engine running and it works I will send you a $20 check in the mail.

Please help me out. This is getting stupid.

Can you specify more on what you mean by "will not start"? Like, what happens when you try to start it?

Turn the key and the car turns over. Car pops some and thats it.

my guess would definitely be your cam timing.




I was a retard, and now I'm permanently banned.
