sounds like the starter is just turning freely. can't hear it cranking try hitting/tapping the starter with a wrench

 

I already tried tappin it maybe its a single starter?

 

cam timing off? sounds like the engine is turning and you have ZERO compression. Verify if the engine is actually turning over or not. If not, then the bendix gear on the starter is not engaging the flywheel. auto starter on manual trans maybe? If it is engaging and turning over, then cam timing is off.

 

my buddys teg did the same thing when we put in his new motor turned out there was no key ways in the cams gear an just the cams gear were spinning an not the cams them self.

 

I never even thought of that
how far off is that gear if that's the case lol ?

 

Yeah I had a single starter on it changed it out already...timing was way off adjusted now and it sounds alot better...it cranks but don't want to turn over.

 

are you getting fuel and spark

 

Here's ah new update after changing starter and re did timing

Fuel I'm getting spark I'm not sure...what's an easy way to test without electrocuting myself lol

 

the 'best" way: via a spark plug/HEI tester but on the go if you have a spare plug pull one of wires/coils put the plug it ground it(lay it on the VC) try starting it and look for the purple spark seeing as it's night time this should be rather easy just be carfull that you'r not touching the frame you'll be fine sitting in you'r seat. just curious do you have a fuel pressue gauge ? are the plugs wet with fuel after cranking ?

 

I think I'm not getting any spark...I took number 1 spark plug wire and and shoved a screwdriver into and onto the valve cover then I tried to start it and didn't c any spark? I checked all 3 grounds are good and dizzy is good...brand new oem spark plug wires with new ngk spark plugs...any other suggestion?

 

That's not the smartest thing to do. you've got to use a plug heck if you really don't have a spare pull one from the cyl will work also just not as good as using a spare.

 

Yeah I'm not getting any spark...what could
It be now?

i had an issue like this fuse 15 was blown may not be you'r case but have a look it's the ecu fuse in the box in the engine bay look at the 7.5 one also.

 

Checked all fuse and turned out all good..gonna change dizzy n c what happens

 

Changed dizzy n it fired right up!!

 

How sad brand new dizzy failed on me :/

 

What's this sensor called? And can I eliminate it?

 

that is the evap purge solenoid

 

Since I'm not using a gsr manifold anymore u think I can just completely eliminate it? Or just leave it plugged n zipped tied somewhere

 

if you are running obd1 then just unplug it and you're done.

if it is obd2 then just hook it up and hide that ugly sob outta the way! regardless of manifold, if it is obd2 then you need to leave it connected to not get a cel

 

I'm gonna run a jump down harness to obd1...and what about the pcv outlet on the manifold? Do I just plug that up n leave it to?

 

shouldn't even have to plug it since it has a ball valve in it and it only opens when u try to suck thru it otherwise the vacuum of the motor will keep it closed so just cut the hose off of it and ur done same as mine
