car wont start
hey so here is my problem. i did a simple head swap because my head was tapping. i had the extra head so its all good. dont tell me to do a valve adjustment
anyway, my problem is..
my car idles at 1400
i can pull my #2 spark plug wire and the rpms do not drop. every other wire made teh car drop and almost die.
and i hear this tapping noise.
i cranked the motor over with the valve cover off and all the valves move

Re: car wont start (thebleek)
i wont tell you to do a valve adjustment, i will ask you if you did.
did you?
ok so you are doing a ghetto power balance and #2 is dead.
did you check for compression in #2 or look if the plug is wet?
wait a minute your head was tapping?

Re: car wont start (GT40'dLS)
car wont start/work right should have been the title...
i didnt do a comp check but it should be good.
i just looked and one of the injectors wiring looked a lil [freak]ed up cyl #2
does anyone have a diagram of a y7 dizzy and the correct firing order?
ill go check and see if the #2 injector is plugged in 100%

Re: car wont start (thebleek)
the engine is making noise so you throw a head at it. the cyl is dead, and you dont do a compression test.
plot thickens.

Re: car wont start (boostedcivicsir)
well check this.
i re wired my injector, now the cylinder works. now the tapping noise i heard is gone. now the only noise is the timing belt.....
im still idling around 1300-1500 it doesnt jump..its pretty consistant.
i got the firing order right, i think the tapping might be my timing belt, it looks way too loose and i cant get it any tighter!?

Re: (thebleek)
bump, car idles at 1500 and CEL keeps flashing.
but besides that it seems ok? its hard to start still have to give it gas but it will idle.
i think the gflashing cel is bad tho!?

you're making no sense, is the tapping gone or not? also you said you're getting a cel. have you seen what cel that is yet?

Re: car wont start (.Grimace)

How loose exactly is loose? If its the right belt theres not reason you shoudn't be able to get tight enough.

The mail relay should click 3 times before it starts
Turn ignition to ON (but not to START): Click 1
Check Engine light goes off: Click 2
You now turn the key to START: Click 3
