I can't figure out why my car won't start. I blew my head about a month ago and finally got it all put back together but now it won't start... I've tried everything that i can think of and that other people can think of but it won't work...
Just throw out some ideas and/or questions and i will tell you if i've tried it and if i havn't i'll give it a shot.

What have you tried so far?

 

spark plugs checking the timing(kindof), checking to see if there was a spark and there was.

 

Did you hookup the thermostat ground?

Alot of people forget this small wire. I've done it before.

 

were is it at?

 

when you say it doesn't start, does it still cranks and struggles to start? ground wires? proper valve adjustment?

 

It should be around the thermostat somewhere. It has a ring terminal on it to hook to the thermostat. I wish I could explain it better. Maybe someone else can or provide a pic.

 

is your ecu throwing any codes? what exactly is the engine doing when you try to start it? what all have you done to trouble shoot? is this a new swap or an exhisting one? more info please.

 

it is the exhisting swap and when you turn it over it just cranks it doesn't even try to turn over. there is one wire harness that has no home though down kindof under the battery? could that be anything. I don't know if it is throwing any codes i looked at it and it just blinked once when i turned it on and that is it but i might not have checked it right

 

if your ecu blinks once and thats it you have power to it but no codes

 

dont forget the ground on the starter and the one on the tranny

 

I didn't take any of those grounds off so i don't know why i would have to put them on.
What is the firing order and were is the #1 plug supposed to be on the dizzy?

 

okay maybe i'll try this how do you time the zc?

 

Obviously you have checked everything to do with spark but it sounds like your car is getting spark but no fuel. Check your fuel pump, fuel filter, fuel rail, injectors, ect... That may be the cause of your problem.

 

Thanks everbody but i just had the timing just a LITTLE off but i got it fixed
