80LS1T Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Are you sure your timing is on? If not then try rotating your distributor a little bit at a time until it starts then set your timing. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zguy95135 Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 Did you mess with the cam? If the cam is even 1 or 2 teeth off it wont run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshepard327ci Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 i didnt mess with the cam, ill try and mess with the distro. i didnt touch it but who knows if it was turned off or something. anything else to check!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 24, 2004 Share Posted August 24, 2004 So you just installed new injectors, thats it? Was it running before you took it apart? Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pshepard327ci Posted August 24, 2004 Author Share Posted August 24, 2004 no the motor has not started yet. i got it from a guy at the beginning of summer said just had bad turbo, replaced that now running into problems. im getting spark and 12v at coil, im gonna try to mess with distributer but dont know if thats the problem, it just doesnt smell like a motor missing, no smell of gas just exhaust, a lean smelling exhaust. any thing else Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
80LS1T Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 Well there are a few basics to check first.... 1. Timing 2. Spark 3. Fuel 4. Compression on all 6 cylinders If all that is good then you might have a more complicated problem, more than likely something wrong with the wiring or maybe something isnt hooked up and it should be? This is where it gets really hard to diagnose over the internet. Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Zachb55 Posted August 30, 2004 Share Posted August 30, 2004 i just got done replacing much of my ignition system due to my car not even budging at wanting to start. turns out the last thing i thought of replacing, the plugs, were the only problem. Fuel fowling is very easy to do so maybe your injectors sprayed a bit to much in there and now your plugs are fouled, usually when this happends you get no popping though.. maybe a couple cylinders are still firing though, just some of my experience i figured you might be able to benifit from... -Zach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
