Z-carforlife Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 Hey guys my Turbo swap with turn over catch and die, i get fuel, i have spark on all plugs, injectors fire..... it will catch but it dies almost instantly.... It has caught and run for 20 seconds and i shut it off after that it catches and dies. Seems like a timing issue to me but i have never had to set initial timing for first start up before..... and a timing light is useless without being able to idle it. 1979 n/a 5spd With an 83 harness, coil, ECU, HEI, turbo motor/T5 Motor ran good when pulled from donor car. The guy who started this swap for me did pull the Dizzy no marks to line it back up. Please be patient here guys, i'm a newbie (i have searched for these answers) FSM,Hanes,Z-car.com and here) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meph Posted July 23, 2010 Share Posted July 23, 2010 if your concerned about the timing, check ti with a timing light. Princess auto has them cheap, work jsut fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-carforlife Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 Oh ya i have a timing light i'm just not aware of a way to use it if it will not idle long enough to use the light. Just looking for any tips on setting timing as if it was a first start up. Thanks for the input though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
