I've been rebuilding this POS for 6 months, just reconnected the gas lines.

I ran the pump a couple cycles to make sure I had gas in the lines. (Then I pulled the return line and it was wet, so I know I have gas).

I tried to start it...nothing. Engine turns but you never hear it try and start. Pretty much the same thing that you would get when unplugging the ECU.

I pulled a plug wire and put it near a ground to check for spark....I didnt have any and got a shock from holding the INSULATED spk plug wire and touching the frame.
I eventually got a spark from Cyl 1.

I changed the wires anyways with another set I had lying around, I still have spark in cylender 1, but I cant see any in the other cylenders.

This kinda rules out the ignitor, as I do get a spark...but it seems weak as I needed to get really close to a ground wtih the cable from cylender 1 to get a spark.

I pulled the plugs and they were fouled with gas.....I let it dry and tried again.

Still the same thing.

I know I have gas,

I seem to have spark....wtf?

I checked the resistance from my block to the neg batt pol and its 6 ohms, a little high....but shouldnt stop it from starting.


Clues?

 

Just cuz you get spark doesnt rule out the ignitor.. your obviously not getting enough spark..

 

From the circuit diagrams it should rule out the ignitor since the ignitor controls the current to the coils.


I fixed it....the problem was stupidity.

When I plugged the fuel lines back in, I reversed the feed and return lines.

Started on the 1st crank after I correct that

 

Glad you got it solved

 

me too...allthough I'm ashamed

On the bright side...I won the bet car did start on the 1st crank.
