hey i went to get gas on my way to work and after i filled up i couldnt start the damn car. its getting fuel and spark. i didnt think about unplugging the est wire. maybe bad knock sensor? but besides that what else can i check? i have a previous thread about the car feeling like its been missing the last few days, but its never had a problem starting till today.

 

1. fuel
2. spark
3. compression
4. timing


which one do you lack? my guess is 4.
how old are your plugs and wires though?

 

plugs are about 2 months, i pulled one last night and it looked just fine. the wires are the same age.. msd 6mm. I do believe my headgasket is leaking oil near the front left cylinder but thats the plug i pulled and it was oil free.

 

If you are getting spark and fuel try unplugging your MAF and then starting the car.

 

thanks ill try that too.

 

Hehehe I would try it first if you honestly have spark and fuel. Its easy to do and costs nothing. It will also eliminate the entire MAF system(relays and all) right away. By the way the ECM does not look at the KS on initial startup. About all the KS will do is pull timing out to a max of 15 degrees on your chip.

 

ok i took your advice and had the injectors checked, heres the results

*firewall*

16.7 | | 16.7
16.7 | | 1.2
11.3 | | 6.2
10.8 | | 16.7

*front of engine*


i hear its supposed to be between 11-17 and those others are bad?

after the car sat for about an hour it started again. but now when i got home this evening it wont start.

time for the 24# svo injectors i guess. right? they can take a 100shot of go-juice huh?

 

Is it cranking or just sitting there? Just want to clear that up. Also, did you try it with the MAF unplugged? Second thing to clear up.

Those numbers are not good. Send them to Rich or get the SVO's if you need, or will need, them.

 

Strike that, don't send 'em out you have the multec fecal matter. Get the SVO's.

 

i havnt changed injectors since i bought the car so either they are stock or stock replacements, i know for fact one was replaced right before i bought it.. something about shorting itself out and frying the ecm...

but anyways.. these SVO's.. i am running dry shot nitrous so i need to make sure they can take the psi its getting pushed to. not sure what it is but its about 50-60psi im sure.

its the zex dry.

 

Big thick bulky and blueish color, like the ones in the first post here?

They suck. I used mine for target practice. I don't think Rich'll even try cleaning them. I certainly wouldn't use them in a nitrous application.

hth.

 

yup those are them, they suck *** eh? guess so cuz they started acting up after polishing off my first bottle of go-juice.

 

Luckily the go-juice didn't polish off your motor.

 

hmm i read that whole thread and all that argueing i cant decide lol.. i guess i better go at least 24# and just bring down the stock pressure. cuz i dont want to be too rich for daily driving.

also i was short on time but i compression checked my front two cylinders (drivers side) and they both read about 150 which i understand is normal?

 

than go with stock size injectors

 

no i gotta think of the future hehe.

plus doing the math it came to like 25.XXX so really to be super safe i would need 26# so i am gonna stick with 24's
