Broke down doing 40 mph

[Lescard84]

I have a 97 gsx i bought 1 year ago with 150000 miles .It was supposed to been rebuilt with 50k on rebuild. I was do about 40 mph and lost all rpm and died hasn't started since.I took top timing belt cover off belt looks new and intacted.change fuel pump with walbro 255 lph it doesn't even sound like it want to fire.in going to check for spark tonight after work.any advise would be appreciated.what else can i test for.

Electrical ignition components. Connectors, wires, test all parts.

My money's on the crank sensor, same thing happened to me a while back. If this is the case, you shouldn't have any spark. To swap it out, you'll have to remove the lower timing belt cover, which means you'll have to remove the pullies, belts, power steering pump, and alternator.

+1 for Crank or Cam sensor

Before buying and installing anything you need to hook a scanner up to it and check for codes.

Cool thanks a lot didn't expect so much feed back and so fast. Is there a place to rent a code checker ie.autozone ,oreillys

 

[GSLENK]

list your mods, completely.

A broken/failing MAP sensor while running on SD will do pretty much the same thing. Ask me how I know.

Okay i just tested for spark its getting spark on 1,4 but no spark from 2,3 i just pulled the plug wires one at a time and used an old spark plug .[DOUBLEPOST=1409617262][/DOUBLEPOST]What should my next step be in thinking coil pack i read in the Haynes book to use a multi meter for testing coil packs is there another way i don't have multi meter.

Lost power module (transistor) is my guess.

 

[synthetek]

Possibly bad transistor pack or one of the coil packs.

 

[bryanwheat]

I would go to harbor freight and pick up an 8 dollar multimeter if i were you.

 

[DSM1G90]

Even AZ or Pep Boys might have them for cheap also. Rat Shack gets a bit on the pricey side.

 

[Lescard84]

Will do that today i will let u no after thanks again.

didn't see this asked, is the Fuel pump rewired?

 

[Lescard84]

It has not been rewired, in buying a rewire kit. Will i have to wire it alkaline the way to battery,or ignition?[DOUBLEPOST=1409700483][/DOUBLEPOST]BBut when i pull out the old on it still turn when i hit the key over.[DOUBLEPOST=1409742366][/DOUBLEPOST]Do i have to retire it all the way to batt

 

[EclipsedFLA]

There is a rewire kit, one goes to the batters, ground and the rest get spliced in

8 had a very similar sounding issue turns out rust in my tank. Clogging up everything.what does your strainer look like? And pump? This is what I had going on

 

[born2race]

I'm also guessing coil pack, maybe try swapping it out for another known working one.

 

[EclipsedFLA]

And the one on the left if about 3 months old.. I'd check all fuel, from the pump to the filter, to the injector seals and every piece on the rail feed etc. If the car Will be down for a day or too.

I ended up replacing coils, plugs wires, checking plugs near the radio and almost buying a new ecu, and power transistor, before I realized I haven't checked fuel. I recently ran my buddies afpr, and he ran e85 so I'm guessing some stayed in and returned to the tank stirring up the rust. At least that's how I believe it happened.

And this isn't all I sucked out.
