Installed FP Manifold, now won't start

[rpg_dog]

A while back I had a problem blowing exhaust manifold gaskets. The mechanic said the 2g manifold i had was warped and he couldn't fit in all the manifold studs. Last week i finally recieved the forced performance race manifold i ordered in october. The car started and drove before i took anything apart, just sounded bad due to blown gasket. I removed the old manifold, and ended up having to remove the power steering pump because 5 of the studs were stripping out of the head and put some heli coils in. I turned the crank like maybe 10 degrees clockwise to get to the tension adjustment bolt on the power steering pump. I put everything back the way it belongs, and go to start her, with no luck. I have spark and fuel, and cant imagine that I touched anything that would keep it from starting.. Any ideas what is going on here???

You turned the crank something along those lines, if thats all you did do a compression test.

+1 on the compression test. no reason the car should not start from just turbing the crank.

that or your ecu took a crfap on you

If that all you did turn the crank right? Seems like something to invistigate, anything get dropped in the wrong place. To start fuel, spark, compression you have fuel check, you have spark, check, try compression you never know. Easy to do.

So the car turns over but will not start. What have you done to know for sure that you have fuel and spark?

Whatever happened its not power steering, or manifold relatled, so we can rule that out. If he does have spark and fuel, its something else you can drop nuts and bolts in the timing area if your not careful. Ive done that before but my timing covers were all in place in that area, bolt could stop the engine. He needs to make sure he has fuel and spark, all this happened while doing this change, probably when he turned the crank idk.

Just stop guessing with what you think it could be and wait for more information.

 

[92AWDHX40]

Im not guessing, waiting.

To the OP, did you ever figure it out?
