After Rebuild Woes
I just got finished with my rebuild.
I got the injectors rebuilt, so theyre basically brand new.
All new ignition system, so i know its getting spark.
Fuel pump is operational, when i took it out and tested it.
The motor has good compression and is timed perfectly.
IDK wuts wrong with it.
It wont start, it will turn over perfectly, and sounds good.
I dont think its getting enough fuel.
The dipshits b4 me put a switch to the fuel pump so if it flooded all I would have to do is flip it and un-flood the motor.
But it was a faulty set-up and I had to flip the switch everytime I started the car. Which you should not have to do.
I took it to a local shop after the rebuild and they told me the Main Loop Relay was not operating right.
Could this be a problem??
I want some opinions from experienced people on what they think the problem might be.
If any thing else is needed from me of info.
Just let me know.
Thanks
I want to drive this thing again, and im sooooo sooo close.
All help and advice is appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

When I switched engines in my old car, it wouldn't start either even though it was running perfectly fine in the other car.
First, I had the fuel lines reversed. That didn't help.
Then it would catch, then die, but never actually start. So I used the code reader I had made and it turned out the Coolant Temp Sensor AKA Water Thermo Sensor was bad . Found it and replaced it, car started on the first try!
Also, check all of your intake hoses/vacuum lines. I forgot to hook up the bypass hose once and it would start at all...
Hope this helps.
