steve260z Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 Finished my stroker project and started up on New Years Eve. (What's a little more loud noise huh!!!) Thread located here in member projects: http://forums.hybridz.org/topic/103487-san-antonio-31l-z/ I got the car running for 20 minutes for break in that night but having problems. I can get it started but runs for about 30 seconds and abruptly shuts down. Its not a fuel problem. Float bowls running to SUs have gas. I checked. It just plain shuts down. I can start it back up but same thing happens. I can't tune the timing in 30 seconds. I shoot the timing gun while the car is running at about 1,500 rpms and its showing around 22 degrees. Plugs are not fouled and battery is charged. I'm thinking the coil or something else electrical but just wanted to bounce it off you guys. Any ideas?

motomanmike Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 (edited) So its had one heat cycle and now that you've came to try it again you are having problems thats it? Does your timing light stop firing when the car shuts down? Is it a sputtery shut down or an abrupt one?

steve260z Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Yes, the timing light shuts down with the car. No sputtering. Just off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
