bump hi wats good!! ANYONE

 

Do you have spark or fuel? Possible problem with your distributor. Or maybe your wires broke on your injector harness

 

Is it even cranking? Some details on what you have checked thus far would help.

 

Yes fuel air sparking, and cranks, timming I dead on too. Everything torqued down to spec all sensors plugged coolant, oil level good..... Everything works but it just won't start

 

Well not everything is working, or it would start.

Have you checked compression?
Have you checked fuel pressure?
How did you confirm fuel and spark?
Do you hear the fuel pump priming?
Do you have power, [12V+] at the injectors?
Are the injectors pulsing? 94

 

okay i couln't find out how to start a new thread so i just used on of my old ones....lol


but anyone help!!

 

please anyone. HELLPPPP I'M SO FRUSTRATED!!

when you did the head gasket change did you resurface the head flat? you dont need to mill it just resurface it, did you hot tank and redo the head before you slaped it on? or did you put a used head that had oil and deposits in the head still? did you put the head gasket on right? did you use a new head gasket? did you torque the head in the right sequence and the right amount or torque? did you use the old head studs or upgrade to arp head studs? like you should of! the old head studs stretch once torqued at the factory by the machines, there usually no good to use after there removed! that can cause you to leak. also please tell me you put the the two dowels that go between the head and block?? they go on each end of the ex side of the block in the the corner head stud hole, if you forget to put them in your gona have a head gasket leak like a ****!!!

 

well the only thing i didn't do is take it to the machine shop. but would it be possile that i might have put the dowels in the wrong spots?? i remember putting them back in. would the head even fit on the block if the dowels are in the wrong plaecs?
