well couldnt get the car to start .. here is the problem

i have

spark
fuel
fuel soaked plugs
brand new cam sensor (cam plug has 2 worn signal wires on it)
brand new crank sensor


what i do not have

car starting


list of my mods:

built 2.0 motor
rc 1200cc injectors
hta86
stock coil packs
magnecore wires

 

Sounds like what happened to Rob when the crank position sensor plate was installed upside down. So the car would spark and get fuel but was firing at the wrong time so it wouldn't start without gassing it and then die.

I'm not sure if the cam angle sensor can do the same thing someone else may know though.

 

crank sensor is dead ***** on! my car was starting for the past few days now just today it hasnt

 

i have magnecore wires and stock coils have not been changed in 62,000 miles could that be my problem. we have checked the spark n its there just jumps around the boot on the magnecore wire...

asked my buddy and he said his have 80,00 on his with abs no problems, but then i talked to another person and they said 30,000 n there junk

 

just went outside i put in my oem wires with no more then 20,000 miles on them and still no turn over..

 

is it crank no start, no crank, extended crank, can it start after sitting, does it backfire, is the check engine light on? if you want a free diagnosis, you gotta have more info. otherwise, its off to a shop you go!

 

What about the cam sensor was the metal piece inside it moved when installed or was it previously installed before the car died?

Anything else you can tell us about the system like ignition amps etc?

 

car has been running all week(im at the tunning fase of my build) just today it decided it did not want to start..

 

crank no start...... no backfire, check engine light is on...

 

Can you pull the code?

 

Pull the code. That may be the problem.

 

the check engine light has been on since the brand new motor has started before..... that could not be it....

i do not have a way of checking the codes:

my buddy is tunning the car with dataloggit for the power fc

 

go to autozone or ebay and buy a code scanner so you can tell us the problems the car has. its really hard to guess at problems. the CEL is on which means you definately have problems, so its pretty simple to start there.


if the car was running and now doesn't run, and you have spark and fuel, i would be checking compression because those are the only 3 things you need to make your motor go.

 

I think i had this same problem. Keep cranking it bro. Mine just stoped starting. had everything hooked up, and would spit fuel but not crank (just like your Problem)
next time get a full charge battery, next time you crank it, just hold it for a bit longer then normal. Should start after that.
I went 2 weeks before i figured it out.
Also running PFC

 

im going to clean the plugs tomorrow just to double check , charge the battery up a bit with a trickle charger and give it a try... if not ill make some phone calls see if i can talk to anybody who does this on a daily basis
