I just got a 90 gs-t of some guy just had it rebuilt but after a while "stopped working" i've it had a security system that was stopping the flow of gas so i removed that shit i've got spark and got gas now i still have to try the compression check. it seems to turn over and build compression then the starters slows and then starts to crank fast again also i get puts of black smoke and pops but no crank yet :(:mad::barf::cry:

Thats a strange problemWTF
 
Take the upper timing cover off to make sure the belt didnt break. is the battery fully charged?
 
i'm going to check the injectors tommorow and hopefully the ecu as well make sure it's ok i didn't get to undo the exhaust :( The belt doen't seem broken, it spins all the way around i hope it didn't jump timing though :(
 
It sounds like over fueling and washing the oil off the bore causing a loss of compression temporally.

No...

If its dumping shit tons of fuel you WILL need to change your oil however ### that shit ends up in your oil.

Sounds like a stuck injector, high fuel pressure or ECU problem.... Either way it's getting WAY too much fuel...
 
i know it's very rich i'm going to drop in my injectors from the spare shell and still need to get a analog meter the digital one does me no good here LOL and thank you guys so far for the input

*edit* compression check 60 across the board i think timig may have jumped :(

Hey I never said not to change the oil, I agree that it ends in the sump.

If you moved your cas you are changing the base timing, you need to check the base timing before you break something.
