Ok, today I reset everything to TDC, checked the CAS, it was 180 out.
Swapped starters again (for the upteen hundreth time) turned it over and it actually acted like it wanted to start! OMG

So, I tried again, this time holding the throttle full open... and after a few tries it did start and run. Barely call it an idle, but it ran. (several times)
If I tried to move the CAS it died. If I even throught about letting up on the throttle it died.
I also had to get the fuel pressure damn near 45 PSi too...

So... right now the CAS is full clockwise, the fuel pressure is at stated 45.
Where can I start to try to do something to get it to run better...
I also tried flipping the orientation/spiner inside to see if that would improve anything.. nope :(

Hell I am just stoked it actually RAN ON IT'S OWN! OMG OMG :thumb: :D

Oh, forgot to mention, even with that high Fuel pressure, I still did not smell fuel from the open DP... :confused:
Also would only start with the autolite plugs... WTF :confused: the bosch 2's acted like they wanted too, but just didn't.

Like I said before, the turbo is out of the loop, the MAF is tied directly to the TB. Maybe a bad MAF? it is just acting like it is either not getting fuel, or a correct air reading...

Also, testing with NOID light, it barely lights... Not bright like I have tested non DSM's before with it. All plugs too.
 
Two things, first make descriptive thread titles, secondly you shouldnt be screwing around with the CAS like that especially not putzing with the so called "spiner" inside of it.
Good luck to you.

I put his name up there because he knows what is going on with the situation.
And since when is trying to set time, and orientation with the CAS "putzing around with it"? :rolleyes:
 
Well, not once did you mention using a timing light, something you need to set time...
By the sounds of it you are just moving the CAS around and hoping for the best, maybe I'm wrong, maybe youre doing it right.

Well you can ear it to a certain point to get it close. But if it dies as soon as you even try to advance it...
I was not attempting to set the factory time, I was just tring to get a smoother and more responsive idle.
But the point of fact that as soon as it moved to any adavce, and it dies is need to know info in diagnosing probs...
