Need Help, Car Will Not Start!

Fast98Mitsu · 02-04-2005, 10:23 PM

I have recently replaced all belts, plugs wires, coil pack, etc. I have a 3'' exhaust with testpipe, cold air intake. The timing is on(perfect), engine turns over but will not start. I'm getting spark to the plugs, the fuel is getting to the injectors, oil is in the car, but can't figure it out? Help!

how do you know spark is getting to the plugs? do you have the plug wires on backwards? how do you know fuel is getting to the injectors? do you have all of your sensors hooked up?

When you say all belts, do you include timing belt? Whoops you say the timing is fine. I presume that it ran before you did the replacement so I would lean toward criss crossed wires or you missed a disconnected sensor. If stumped some more, take a little time to see where your arms were positioned when you did each change. I have spent some time trying to find a problem on my install when it was something that I accidentally disconnected.

I know I'm getting spark because I took each spark plug wire out and put a spark plug on it then had someone turn the engine over briefly and all the spark plugs work, also, fuel is obviously going into the engine because I took eack injector off and watched them spray when the car was turned over. I will definetly check every sensor and all wiring to see if there are any loose or disconnected sensors or plugs. Thanks

You might have checked this already, but I know that before I had my alarm on my car and I was in a place I didn't feel my car was totally safe, I would unplug one or two of the plug wires. When I would get back to my car I would try to turn it over, and I could here the engine turning over, but that is was miss fireing. Like I belive the firing order is 1,3,2,4. and if one wasn't in all the way it would miss and not start up.
Make sure your plugs are plugged into the coil pack in the right order too, and that the plugs are all the way in. It sounds like your past this point, but everytime I've had trouble with my car turning but not starting, its allways been the plugs.
Good Luck
