I'm back down in Olympia now and I'm trying to get my friggin' wagon running. I'm pretty stumped as to why the hell it wont start it cranks hearty and sounds like it really wants to but it just wont turn over. If anyone in the Oly area wants to help me hit me up beer and pizza is on me :P

 

 

Thanks

 

also the only parts i need right now (that I know of are)

Samco Y IC pipe

possible a RX throttle cable (or a good way to shorten my current one)

various nuts and bolts

Plug in the Green check connectors. Does the Fuel pump Cycle? yes? good

Unplug them now.

 

now pull the cap of the distributor, Is the rotor fixed to the shaft with it's little screw? if not there is you're problem.

Rotor attached? if so then watch it while someone cranks over the car.(or turn it over by jumping a wire from 12v to the starter solenoid) If it does not turn you're t-belt is broken.

 

If that all checks out. Then check you're intake tube from the MAF to the Turbo. is it loose?cracked? I've seen them pull off the MAF as the engine torques away from that side and the tube shrinks over time. I unbolted air cleaner box, shoved it a half inch towards the motor and just leave it sit there. That way it can move abit with the engine.

 

This is the quick list of *no start* stuff. Let us know what happens

I could be wrong but I think my fuel pump is cycling ALL the time. Whines stops, whines stops etc etc any ideas? T belts are fine I just replaced them and I'm not running any covers so i sure hope they aren't broken :P I'll check the other stuff when I get home today and have a chance. Thanks for the ideas on where to look

Does you're ECS light come on in sync with the Fuel pump? sounds like the Test connectors are still hooked up. People( or shops) who don't know what they are for look at htem and say. "hey this looks like it came unplugged" But they are supposed to be disconnected except for diagnostic use.
