2G Car not starting after head gasket job

[brannflakes]

This is on a 420a. The car will crank forever but never start. So far I've checked compression, spark, timing, fuel and all the plugs and wires I could find. I have been trying to figure this out for a while and just cant get it. I dot know if I am missing something obvious or what but any help would be appreciated.

did you try to scan for any codes .

Okay i just went and listened to the injectors and it doesn't sound like they are clicking.

CAS, ECU, or wiring problem.

The check engine light is not on... can there still be codes anyway? But I'm going to work on getting fuel pressure back, then I will take another look at the injector wiring. (I could have just very easily missed the click on the injectors as I was trying to use a screw driver and I'm not very observant)

there can still be codes without a cel. its just not a ready code. use a multi meter and test the resistance in the injectors. if those are good and not pulsing, look into the cam sensor or ecu. also, theres an asd relay on the 420a cars. its an auto shut down. if it gets a signal that something is wrong, itll shut the car down. check all your fuses and test the relays. if you have to, open up the ecu and see if it smells like fish. thatd be a sign that its bad. that screw on the fuel rail with the bicycle tire air cap is a shrader valve. used to test fuel pressure

codes without a cell ?

 

[97 eclenger]

check engine light. cel for short. sometimes something small like an egr solenoid or tps code won't trigger an engine light. theyre there but not a ready code so the light is off

 

[dtdeg]

understand what you mean by cell ... i always get a cell on those specific sensors you menth. By "ready" you mean the condition is not met yet i think?

I have fuel pressure now!! (had a bad fuel pressure regulator) I just checked and I am only getting .3 volts at the injectors.. any ideas why there is basically no power?

 

[dtdeg]

great. you messured on the injector plug (car side)? Those plugs only get power if the CAS is is triggered or fire them trough a EMS.

The cam angle sensor and the crank sensor were both replaced very recently so I don't think they have gone bad.
