how much could i get out of a 88gxl with a rebuilt moter never started (wont start) with gas pored all over it ready to burn to its fiery hell

 

well if you want to get rid of it that much il give you $50 for it. but in all seriousness ide say you could get a bit for it. or you could get it running again it takes time man give it time. is that mount vernon indiana your from?? maybe i could come help you out w/ it

 

mount vernon illinois .... man we have no clue i was going to burn it really i wanted to .. instead i came inside and i think i througgh a roter threw my dresser mirror and tv

 

Fire, fuel and compression. Go down the check list. you're over looking something. Don't burn it.

 

Perhaps a more constructive solution would be to start troubleshooting the process? It may very well need bump started for the initial start.

 

calm down it will be ok. ya i ment illinois. keep at it you can do it. maybe if we knew some of the symptoms of your situation we could help ya out

 

we have been trouble shooting this biatch for a week ...it ran at rr ..brought it home put it in and now it wont start for nothing ....we have been over everything we can think of ....afm, ecu,no unhooked wires ground no vacum leaks ,, been in the tank replaced fuel filters pump is good ...tryied to pop the clutch , start it with starting fluid etc etc
a couple people say timing but it ran 48 hours before it was in the car at rr

 

i know the feeling, i just droped 1200 on a s5 motor and it doesnt seem to have even pulses with hand cranking, i hope to be proven wrong when i drop it in the car.

 

if it ran at rr on a stand it couldnt be out of time could it?

 

Are you saying Rotory Res when you say RR???

 

yea sorry i abbr. that

 

did it come from rr with the crank angle sensor installed allready? try running a ground wire from the block to the coils.....i am talking to zack seeing when we can come out. dont burn it, if nothing else we got a guy here that needs one.

EJ

 

yea we got it back full long block and it ran there ..i think all were doing is tearing it up .....i just gotta get this ****** running ive missed my dr appt fore months and its the only way i have to get around any more ...my blood sugar is out of control , im stressing , and ive had to turn down 2 job promotions for lack of transportation..................what have i got my self into........

 

ej.......did i meet zach when i got those mufflers? ... man ej if you can come down and figure out what were doing wrong you will be a god.....

 

Something I noticed... on the rear of the TB at the top there is a little yellowish plastic piece. This has various vacuum hoses coming off the bottom. What would happen if the little filter and cap came off of that plastic piece? Would it be causing this problem?

 

welcome to rx7 club.

 

Could be bad/dead gas in the car. Happened to me once. Push start it! If that doesnt work then think about throwing things.

 

He already tried to push start the car. Gas rarely goes bad.

 

Yeah, I believed that too strongly at one point. Lost 2 weeks of my life trying to figure out what was wrong. That car had sat for about 4-5 months.

 

1.)Pull the injector fuse off the fuse box on the left (driver) tower. then pull the plugs out and touch the thread of the plug to a good ground in the engine bay. crank the engine over. Do you get Good spark?

If not then there's your problem. Or at least part of it

***Remember make sure the injector fuse is pulled and your in a well ventilated area to avoid accidents.***

2.)If there's spark, do a compression test, pull the injector and ignition fuses out and make sure you have 85 and up. from what i hear rebuilds take a little while to build compression up. not sure since i haven't broken in a rebuild. Yet.

Is there compression?

3.) If you have spark, compression and timing is right. Then is there fuel. since you've been trying this for a while now, if your getting fuel you'll for sure be smelling it depending on how long you crank it. Also if your cranking it alot, you could also be flooding it

Good luck and hope you get 'er running soon

 

been here awhile i usally lay low and just read and learn

 

put new gas along with new fuel filters ...... got spark....compression is good, pulled it up a hill (along with riping my door off in the process) tryed to pop the clutch....came inside picked up a roter (house decration) lol...threw it throw my tv and dresser ..... so now i dont have a tv my clothes are on the floor there is glass in my bed and i cant leave cuz my car wont start... ........... im going to burn it im getting really close...... this is stupid

 

this has to be something retarted....has any one ever had something dumb keep it from starting .......the car did sit a few months from engine blown tell the rebuilt was put in due to money issues not only am i sinking all my money into the car i am also lossing money from lack of trasportation to work

 

Got to be something stupid going on. Did you ever say if you tried starting fluid??? If not try a quick spray right into the intake and see if it doesn't fire. If there is any life at all it will do something. At least a backfire would be better than nothing.

After all that cranking do you not smell gas???? Are your plugs wet at all?? Maybe those two fuel hoses are reversed.

 

Something that gets Piston motor heads all the time is they put the distributor in backwards or 180 degrees. I have seen this so many times. Even with good mechanics. Not sure if this applies to Rotories 'cuase I am new to rotories. but I would look at that. The symptons aren't really pointing towards this problem, usually a backfireing motor that doesn't time has the distributor in backwards.
