carfreak85 Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 OK, I checked TDC on the crank pully and it is spot on. The car is getting spark. Not sure about fuel but I will check today. the engine will crank, but not catch. new plugs, wires, coil, fuel filter. Whats wrong?!?!?

JonOfScio Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 when was the last time it did turn over? check your valves... and of course the heads, the gaskets, and your fuel would be first off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nug Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 If you've got spark, than at least the driver's side timing belt is still attached. I'd look at fuel system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stupidru Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 When I had engine out of car, I got coil wires messed-up. The car would crank but the pulser wire for injectors has to be on correct coil terminal. It took many hours to diagnose, cause I was getting spark & fuel. Snotrocket, ea81t is pushrod engine, no tbelts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calebz Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 What work have you done on it since last ime you started it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperRallyRoo Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 My car did the same thing when i took all the plug wires off and replaced them to factory settings. Apparently my disty was 180* off. And! Once I did wonder why the subaru wasn't starting, I thought the gas gauge didn't work. It was totally out of gas.

calebz Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 LOL! I saw that, but thought i would cut you some slack this time:lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted January 27, 2004 Author Share Posted January 27, 2004 Last time it started was about a month ago, then it started having these problems, so I started working on it. It has plenty of gas in the tank. Ill see if the disty is off at all, but I dont think it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
