Ok so last weekend 6 teeth stripped off the timing belt, took the head off had the valves inspected and luckly no bent valves being the the 02 lancer es engine is an intermitant engine. so i lined everything back up crack shaft btdc , timing mark on crank pully lined up with the mark on the oil pump, and cam timing tick lined up with the mark on the cylinder head. heres the problem im having now.

engine turns over but its not firing, changed plugs and wires still nothing. any ideas on why it will crank but not fire up.?

any input at this point would be helpfull. thanks

02 lancer es

 

Did you check to see if you were getting any spark at all before you changed plugs/wires?

Anything left unplugged?

Crank sensor okie? was it diry? unplugged? Same with Cam?

 

Are you getting any compression? Did you change all the parts correctly? Your coils may have gone bad?

 

ya everythings plugged in and still no spark, compression is there. the only thing that bothers me other then no spark is the crank sensor that plus in on the side wont snap in so you can basically unplug it with ease, so since the car is dead my plans are to just rip everything apart,

replase the cps housing completly, and swap out coil packs again and boost the car. if all goes well this weekend soon as i can find someone to make me a custom down pipe cause i dont have one as of yet.

 

At this time i would also check fuel delivery and that consists of fuel injectors and fuel pump or FPR and your filter. Also scan your car to see if any codes pop up. Let us know whats happening. Good luck.

 

once this weekend hits i will have more detailed info, on the dead es lol i work mid shift so its really hard to get to wrench on my car during the morning hours. thanks for your input.
