Ok, i have this problem with my car starting up. Befor all this problem iam having. I put new piston in my motor and set the timing and started up fine runs fine. The following day after that i notice loose timing belt. I attempted to fix the loose belt. But the bolt for the tensioner was f-up. I then weld a stocket to the bolt and got it off while the motor was still in the car. Put new belt in new tensioner and bolt, line up the timing belt. It turn on but iam having this idle crazy problem. I then think its my timing. reset my timing again. now the car wont start. i reset my timing like 5 times already samething. i put a 5mm pin in the camshaft to hold it in place, line up the crank on tdc mark. i also check the first piston see if its in the up position, and everything is good, but now the car wont start. When i gas it while cranking it, it started but die as soon as i let go of gas. I also have CEL to. tps code 10 and iat code 7. but will that cause the car not to start. any help will be appreciated.

Do a compression test at the very least, or a leak down test if you have access to one. Your valves may be bent from kissing the pstons when your belt came loose.

Timing belt wasn't really loose just loose enough for someone to think that something might go wrong with it. i try unplugging injector at a time and the first injecto and second injector made no different. Car still dont want to run but when gas it, it run. soon as u let the gas off it dies. could it be my injector. If two injector die, will it make the motor not turn on.

fix your tps code and iat code, if your tps is bad it could cause the car to have problems starting

sounds like time is off on the cams if no start, does it sound like it has low compression? ive done this a couple times in the past and fixed the time on the cams and fired right up. if the head of block have been decked at all the arrows on the cams wont face straight up anymore

Ok. Here wat I did. I took out my fuel rail and prime the pump while. The rail was out. I no fuel injecting from the injector. Change ecu same thing. Change injector same thing. I haven't check my wire to the injector. But if u check it. Wat is the reading on those wire output.

priming the pump doesnt do anything for injectors, you have to be cranking it or engine running for the injectors to have signal from ecu.

Ok when I crank the motor while gassing it. It turn on but run really rough. When I let go of the gas peddle It dies. Wat can cause that. Help.

sounds like cam timing is off

avotegra

Is there a special way how to fix cam timing. When I set them there both r on the up postion.

Ok I did compression test and when the motor is cold. I get 210 212 210 213. This is good reading. Stil car don't want to run only en I gas it. But die as soon as I let the gas peddle off.

Is it Spark or fuel that cause the no start. Help. I just got my turbo car running after a long SIX months n was going to tune it. But tis happen. Any help.

check ground on thermostat housing make sure its not loose

avotegra

check all the ground. i even double ground the motor just in case the other ground is bad. but the thermo gound is nice and tight like a virgin. i dont know what else. only i could think of now is either the injector or the dizzy. any help please. also when i crank my motor to try to turn it on, it wont start. i then took out the sparkplug and there was fuel on the sparkplug.

check for spark?

avotegra

Ok. I check for spark. It seem as iam getting weak spark. And miss spark a lot. With the engine on with slightly push down on the gas pedel to keep the car running. I then took out the spark plug wire touch it on gound. I can see spark but very weak to somtimes skip spark too. Is it the coil or the igniter

make sure your grounds are good too.

avotegra

I fix it yahhhh. I can't believe it its a loose wire connecting my ecu to my harness. It is the conversion harness.

most of the time its simple things that give you the hardest problems to find
