ok wired everything up today and turn the key and it just cranks and cranks. its getting fuel cause i undid the fuel line a little and fuel came out. how do i check if theres air/spark? im using the same dizzy off my 88 hf to a sohc zc plugged right in. may the timing be off? no spark? someone help me out please!

 

running on a pm6 and throwing no codes!!!

 

Quick check for spark would be to just pull out a spark plug wire and put the end of it very close to the head or block and look for a spark while somebody is cranking the motor over.

Did the motor run before you got it? If so I would say to check the distributor... You may have put it on the cam at 180* out. I've done it before.

 

180 off is a good suggesion, also check your grounds.

Can you put those on 180* off? I know on the b series one of the pins on the key that goes into the cam is larger than the other, preventing you from putting it in backwards. I was under the impression that's how they all were. Forgive my lack of knowledge of d series.

 

Double check you plug wires. Make sure they are in the correct firing order.

Yep. The only thing to let you know which side to go by is a mark on the dizzy.

 

maybe a stupid question but do the axels have to be in the tranny? cause i havent put that on yet since i wanted to see if the engine would turn over.. help!

 

"bump" for the guy who needs to get his zc running...

 

bump still not running~!

 

was it originally a dual piont motor? if so did you wire up two more injectors. (convert to mpfi)

 

im using my hf wiring harness... m-p already.

 

ttt

 

should i use the si harness?

 

Si harness isn't going to help you. You'll need to convert the DX harness.

 

why would i have to convert when i have a hf harness

 

If you have an HF or Si you don't need to convert it's already MPFI. What swap are you using??

No but damn son, keep that clutch pushed in and dont forget to fill it with tranny fluid after you get the axles in.

Check the rear transmission ground.

 

Def dont change the harness at all

 

do you have your hf engine harness on the zc engine, because when i did my dohc zc swap in my hf i was trying to use an si engine harness on the zc and no luck.... got fuel but no spark, as soon as i swapped over to my old hf engine harness on the zc she started right up

 

im still using my hf harness but there 1 thing unplugged. and its that thing in the pic' above someone tell me what that does!

 

?

 

ok changed spark plugs and spark plug wires and a new sound is "JUB JUB" wat else&gt;?

 

Get that timing on the money bro!
