Hello guys, New Guy here,
Not sure it’s the right place to post this or if this is answered somewhere so excuse me but I’m fairly new to the DSM scene and I’ve looked for weeks through search and topic by topic in the forum and couldn’t find a solution. I’ll try to relay as much info as I can and will post photos later.
Little intro: I have a 2G that was broken so I bought a 1G and I’m trying to make a swap to get mine working.
That isn’t my problem though. I’ve been working on a 2G of a friend for a few weeks now and the car won’t start properly. Said friend has been doing a full restoration for the past year and he had the engine rebuilt. Since he stopped the car to do such rebuild it didn’t work anymore (about half a year without working). Finally maybe a month ago me and a cousin managed to get the car started using a 1G CAS to bypass the CPS. Car ran but was running funny so we checked timing and we’re thankful for all the info in the forum because we managed to get it to work well (it works perfectly for a bit and then stutters a little bit, doesn’t die though), but only with my 1G CAS. Doing a little more wiring we managed to get the CPS working alongside the 1G CAS but as soon as we try to assemble the 2G CAS the car will either not start or start for a few seconds, engine light turns off, then on, and then it dies again. Sometimes the engine light doesn’t even turn off and after like 5 seconds it’s dead again.
If we put the 1G CAS though, it works.
My friend has bought new CPS and new CAS (2G) and it will not work. (Old CPS broke, se he got new one, old CAS didn’t work so he got it new also)
At this point we’ve tried everything we could put our hands on: timing, CAS (my CAS and his old and new CAS), firing order.
Anything we can try next? I confess I like these challenges but at this point I just want to help this friend getting his baby running again. Any help is appreciated. Thank you guys.
