Okay I did a mini me swap b7/z6 the motor is fine i would say i mean i got spark and fuel but it just wont turn over. bought new spark plugs and wires and a brand new distributor. but i just dont know what may be the problem. can some one please help me out..Been working on this stupid car for almost 3 months and still dont know whats the problem. Went over the wiring like 100
times. I know the timing is dead on. I just dont know why it dont start. Please someone help me! Thanks.

 

At any point does it act like it wants to start like even a little sputter like it wants to start or does it have the same tone just cranking over?

Throwing any check engine lights by chance? Which ECU are you running? OBD0 or OBD1?

 

obd1 p28ecu, yea i sputter once then after that its just the tone of the cranking

 

you sure your spark wires are insatlled correctly?

what kinda injectors did you use?

if you used the z6 intake mani did u use the high impedence injectors or low impedance?

if you switched them at all have you checked you wiring on them and made sure there firing correctly( i had an issue with this so figured id ask)

 

Yea everything is firing right.. its just i dont what else is wrong..

 

is your battery dying? lol or you alternator????? figured id ask


seriously though, like said above( i didnt see an answer) are you throwing a cel a.k.a ecu codes at all?

 

Yea the battery is charged, we used jumper cables and still dont seem to start. i just bought a new alternator. and the ecu isn't throwing any codes

 

can you try a known good ecu?

 

yeah try using a friends p28 or even a p06 will start it, but are you sure in time, and for that specific mini-me you need to use a z6 timing belt. keep up updated

 

the z6 timing belt is way to loose so i went to go get another timing belt i think i a vx timing belt.

 

the vx belt is tighter but has a diff. teeth count there for it will not allow you to get it in true time. so that could be your problem. try getting a new z6 belt that isnt stretched, ive done 3 of these mini-me's and all times ive used z6 belt

 

+1

 

Yea Z6 belt is the one to use.

I have done 3 or 4 mini-me s, the firing order is always a problem for me. All of my swaps have not wanted to start with what i thought was the right firing order. I would try moving plug wires around.
