it is getting gas but itz not getting fire throw the sparkplug wires need help!

 

Remove and inspect the distributor cap and rotor. If there are signs of carbon deposits, cracks or excessive wear, then replace them. If that doesnt work, then you can replace the wires and spark plugs. If that doesn't solve the problem, it's either the distributor itself or something more serious.

 

try pulling the disrtobuter off and flip the tab that connects to the cam....

sometimes its just off 180

 

i belive im just going to put a new distributor on it an if that dont work do u think it would have anything to do with the ECU?

 

i doubt the ecu crapped in the car that was probably running before the swap.

are you getting no spark at all or is it not firing off?

 

Check the ground on top of the thermostat housing. If that ground isnt good, you wont get spark.

 

check <U>all</U> grounds...especially the one connected to the negative terminal on you batt

i bolted mine to the wrong place and i wondered why it wouldnt start

 

is it getting spark or not is important. then we have something to go form, not whether it is firing off or not.

 

it ran after the swap and ran great it just stoped fireing all at once,not sure why

 

where is the thermostat housing?

 

The thermostat housing is, lo and behold, covering the thermostat. Almost directly behind and below the distributor, from the front of the car. The black rubber hoses go into it...

I think the problem is more likely the ignitor in the distributor. Either replace the ignitor (cheap and relatively easy) or try another distributor (not so cheap, but very easy)

where did you bolt it and where is it supposed to be bolted? just finished my swap and bolted the ground to the engine bay below the battery tray. can't remember where it's SUPPOSED to go to i doubt this is the reason my car wont start, but i'd like it to be in the right place anyways.

 

Nice enigne choice. i got me one and i needed to clean the injectors with a wire brush and cahgne the ignitor in the dizzy. but just double check every thing. pm for q's.
