Hey guys,

Dropped in my freshly built 2.4LR block in my Evo 9, went to start it up, and it just cranks but wont start.

I have a fresh break-in tune from Tom AKA TSComp so I don't think it's a tune related problem.

I pulled a spark plug and verified that I have spark, and I pulled the return fuel rail, and fuel poured out. I can hear the fuel pump and activate it via the actuator in evo scan too.

I attached some pictures of my timing belt, but I think it's spot on. Tom advised me since I'm using the stock cam gears to have both gears 1/2 tooth advanced.

Checked the fuse block in the bay and the engine fuses checked fine.

Anyone have any ideas on what could be my problem?

did you do full 3 revolutions and marks aligned?

you are getting fuel to the rail but are your injectors firing?

@egis - Yes! I made sure of that. I rotated it about 20 times, and let it sit overnight and cranked it a few more times to ensure it was still in time and the tensioner was fine.

@1UpMoto- How would I verify if the injectors are firing?

random, silly question: is your crank angle sensor plugged in? i'm assuming so, otherwise you would have a CEL and probably no fuel in the rail.

just tossing out ideas.

is the crank pos. sensor and trigger wheel installed properly?

Yes! I definitely made sure to plug it in. I wish it was something silly like that lol, but that's not my luck.

Thanks man, I'm going to have to take a look into that.

I'm almost 100% positive that it's all installed correctly. I will see if I took a pic of that in my engine build album on my phone but I'm pretty sure that it's correct.

Have you checked compression? If thats ok are you positive the fuel is good? Good luck buddy.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem? He said it's a fresh build. I'm quite sure that isn't the problem.

It's just me but your one picture it looks to be off time but what do I know. Why did he say to run it half advanced? That doesn't make any sense. AFAIK they should be dead on. My intake cam was off by a tooth and it wouldn't idle for crap. It did run but poorly. Both of yours look out.

immobilizer related from the tune?

I'm going to check compression in the A.M. for the hell of it. I would think I should get at least something.


Like I replied to 4G63u, I'll run a compression test for the hell of it. I'm sure I'm not going to get healthy numbers but I think I'd get something.

What picture were you referring to being out of time? the trigger wheel? My cam wheels are 1/2 tooth advanced because it's a 2.4LR so it makes up for the 6mm difference of blocks is basically what I was told, and since I'm not running adjustable gears thats how to make it in time is how I understand it.

I'll edit the post if I didnt specify 2.4LR.

I'll double check but Tom disables the immobilizer so it shouldn't be it. Appreciate the suggestion though man!
