MaTTSuN Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Sold my winter car so its time to dust the Z off When i turn the key it fires but dies right away. No matter what i do with the throttle it will not run. At first i had a burnt injector fuse and it would run on 3 cylinders, but when i put a new fuse in it would fire and die right away. It was doing this to me before when i had it on the road but goes away after trying to start for a while. Now it just wont run Any ideas? I have MS2 running fuel and ignition on a stock 81 turbo motor with larger injectors. It also has the 81 CAS not the later style dizzy one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dexter72 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Maybe check your ignition switch?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLOZ UP Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ditto. Probably too lean if the throttle doesn't do anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Ill Look into those settings, thanks guys. I know its not the ignition switch because i can get it to run on 3 cylinders when i take one of the injector fuses I have next week off so hopefully get it back on the road getting excited about the old girl again after a long winter sleep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 ok so i charged the battery up. and started playing with settings. I changed fuel settings, timing settings and just about everything i could think of. One at a time of course. No matter what i did the best result i could get was the same, engine fires but will not idle and i can not use the throttle to do anything. It just dies... could it be a wiring problem? i re wired the relay board but it looks ok. what wires would do this if they were wrong?

Matt I found the problem... problems. - It the wire coming from the coil to the MS it must have been wanting to let go for a while, finally did and i found it. -The Other was the switch 12v 4ohm resisted wire to the MS it also broke She is running strong now, This might be a sign to rewire the MS again, since its been 5ish years and ive learned allot since then. Its also a good time to re route the wires to help clean up the engine bay Thanks for your help Hybridz......now to pass aircare "smog check" Last time i failed, maybe it was due in part to these loose connections not giving enough spark...

loy Posted June 5, 2012 Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just wondering, did you end up doing the 81 cas grounded down with a hall effect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTTSuN Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Just wondering, did you end up doing the 81 cas grounded down with a hall effect? Havent yet, I want to get everything running perfect before i change anything. But i really want to do it to get it to start better.
