tworkman Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 The car runs..but not well. Have not tested every sensor/component...but have new fuel pump, injectors, cap, plugs...basically the tune-up stuff. The engine misses and we're having trouble setting the timing...but my real question has to do with starting. We can get the car to run (not smoothly but pretty strong). If we shut the engine off, then try to restart it, it turns over but won't start. If we then disconnect the injectors/cold start valve electrical connectors...and crank the engine, it will run (briefly) until the apparent residual fuel is burned. We can then reconnect the injectors, crank the engine, and it runs. There are no wires from the Water Temperature Switch (a new one is on our list) and trying to follow the FSM's steps to adjust the timing is not working. We turn the distributor clockwise to its maximum and we cannot get to 13 degrees...and the rpm goes to +/- 1000. Would these be symptoms of a timing chain that has jumped a tooth?
