WizardBlack Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 Pull the injectors and have them tested. Check your oil for level and fuel content. Test if you can turn it over completely by hand. Do a compression test. Check the ECU for fuel control. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WizardBlack Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 That has happened to me before and it just bent the rod and kept running. That sounds like incredibly useful information you should share. If something bent a rod, I would blacklist everything until I confirmed it was working.

skirkland1980 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 Yes. If I kept trying to crank it I would have damaged the starter/ motor assembly. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted February 14, 2014 Author Share Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) The engine that bent the rod was a small block chevy in my old camaro. I had to cut a hole in the hood to clear the air filter (carbureted engine). It had rained and water soaked the air filter and dripped into the intake and cylinder head. The engine fired instantly and bent the rod. It was cylinder #7 or 8. It immediately started knocking because the crank counterweight would hit the bottom if the piston at bdc.

skirkland1980 Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ok this just happened to me again with a brand new ms2v3.57. I think I figured out what happened. When the engine got hot one or more of the injectors shorted and then shorted the injector driver in ms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skirkland1980 Posted September 29, 2014 Author Share Posted September 29, 2014 (edited) Ok I was wrong about what happened. I unplugged the ecu and turned on the power supply to the injectors. I disconnected all the injectors and connected a digital volt meter to one of the injector connectors. I found 11 volts while wiggling the harness. That means that the signal wire from the ecu was shorting somewhere. I removed the entire harness from the car and looked for a short. I didn't find a problem but I taped up the harness and reinstalled it into the car and have not had this problem again....just a timing problem for now.
