me and a frind just built his single cam,and installed it in the car last night,the starter went bad o we bought a new one,it will not start for nothing,it is getting spark,it is getting fuel,the timing is dead on,all sensors are hooked up,its got oil and gas in it,i am clueless what is going on?the engine seems like it is turning over slower then normal but i am guessing it is because the engine is brand new.

 

battery?

 

we even tried a jump box,the battery has been inthere in the past.we pulled everyting out yesterday and it was put back together last night.

 

broken teeth on flywheel?

 

the teeth are fine.the engine is turning over but it is just turning slow.i am guessing because the engine is still tight.

 

re check the timing....

what ecu you guys are using???
did you guys mess with the wirings

 

maybe you over-tightened the bolts?

 

coil?

 

a chipped po6 tuned for his set up,he was running the same set up on the old motor but he just puta fresh engine in the car,nothing at all was chaged just a fresh head and bottome end.timing has been checked over and over again it is dead on.all the bolts wre torqued to the specs.the nly thing that i am worried about is the cam shaf bolts,the 10 12mm bolts that hold the rokers and cam in,what are they supposed to be torqued to?i found 14lbs is this correct?

 

Try pop-starting it.

 

it is my car,i think we may have found the problem after pulling the engine back out.

what i think happened was there are the dawl pins that hold the tranny strait on both sides of the tranny,well i didnt even think to look before i slapped the tranny on the block if they were there,well they were but on was in the tranny and one was in the block but they were on the same side and once we got the tranny up there and pulled it tight with the impact it smashed the pins together creating a shim on one side of the tranny.i am thinking that this put the pilot shaft,clutch and pilot bearing all in one big bind and making it hard to spin the engine over.correct me if you think this would not work,the tranny was perfectly fine before the swap and the engine is all brand new and it spins free on the stand.so this is all that i could come up with because all my connections are new,my batterie is fine,and it has a brand new starter.the engine is getting fuel and fire but it is just not spinning over fast enought and it was really loud like something was binding up.i shall find out tomarrow when it all goes back in and hopfully it will be fixed,if not..................does anybody want a boosted eg hatch?lol

 

make sure you check all your grounds to the will casue the motor to turn over slow.

 

I was about to ask if there was a chance the tranny was binding. Throw that ****** back in & start the thing!

 

so i am guessing that is the problem for sure,lol

 

well got it all back in early this morning,went to start it and it turns faster but still does not start.it doersnt even pop or act like it wants to start,it is definatly getting fuel and spark because i can pull all of the plugs after tryiong to start it for a while and set tyhem on top of the plug holes and turn it over and it will spit fire ***** out of the engine,lol i am totally lostman,i once again checked the timing and checked for codes and it is only giving me the 02 sensor but it has been throwing that code for a few weeks even with the other engine that was running.anybody near savannah,ga i will pay someone if they can get this thing started.

 

hey man check all your wires and all your connections one simple **** could mess up everything

 

check your compression? hey just a suggestion

 

try checking all fuses and especially ecu fuse

 

the onlything that i have not checked is the compression,i am doing that in the morning,if that doesnt fix it i am just selling the damn thing.i am tired of bothering with it.

 

patience

 

i have none,lol i bought this car and pretty much replaced everything on it,it was running fine but the engine was just getting weak so i replaced it with a brand new one and it will not run,just doesnt make any sence.

 

well lets see what happens tommorow...but i do understand your frustration....i had plenty of them moments ...lol

 

and besides there is a clean ef that i want to buy,lol but we will see what tomarrow brings.
