CAR- 91 EF with B16a and LS trans





Before hand info- I bought this car not running, the old owner said the tranny was bad so i swapped a LS tranny in. It has been sitting for a few months.

I try to start it - nothing






So i get a used starter from a friend i test it outside of the car and its good

try to jump start it... i hear the starter clicking but motor doesnt turn over.



THE CEL DOES NOT COME ON at all ???

the light on the ECU flashs once when the key is in the ignition

I check with the volt meter... batteries good

grounds good

fuses good


motor turns over manually

not getting spark and i hear the fuel pump coming on

im getting volts to the starter

and the ground is good



thanks for any help!!!!! or any suggestions or test

 

You getting spark?
Fuel pump priming up?
grounds tight?
Starter nuts and connections clean?
Got yer daisy dukes on?......lol

 

try to get new spark plugs and wires plus a new distibutor and change the all fluids

 

lol not getting spark and i hear the fuel pump coming on

im getting volts to the starter

and the groung is good

 

make sure the rotor is in good shape andnot just flopping around, and make sure its got the screw in there... and the cap is in good condition as well.
If so get your helms or chiltons or whatever.. lol.

Diagnose the ignitor/coil...

 

yes the rotor seems to be in good shape. the cap seems to be ok however i can jiggle the shaft on the inside of it if i pull the shaft out some.

im thinking of replacing it to be safe

 

took the dizzy off to see if the rotor would turn.... it did not



anyone selling a dizzy?


thanks for all the help guys

 

There it is.... shaft bearing.. wow.. Itt must be shaft bearing season..LOL!
Mine went out.. And like 20+ EF'ers I seen on forums these past 2-3- months..

edit: wait.... you took the dizy off first to try and turn the rotor right?.. just making sure. :-D
