Ok. I was checking my timing and it was off. I moved the CAS and at first it wouldnt move. So I used a little force, not alot, to break it loose. It moved but I turned it all the left (counter clockwise). I immediately returned it to its original spot and now my car wont turn start Did I screw up the CAS?

I noticed my tach. wasnt moving while cranking. Need some help por fav0r. Thanks!

 

Did you remove it from the engine before doing this?

No. I was following the Timming instructions on the service manual.

 

Wouldnt move? Did you loosen the bolt? A light tap with a hammer should work if the bot was loose.

 

Sure you didnt disconnect the plug for it? IF the tach wasnt bouncing, it isnt getting a signal to the ecu. Either a fuse blown or removed, or something unplugged. Just moving it, without taking it out of the engine, will not effect the car running or not(it will change the idle/timing, butwill not make it un-startable).

 

Good point, one time I forgot to plug mine in. I couldnt find it. I ended up pushing the car in the driveway at 3am. (it was in the street getting a jump from my beater)

 

I got the bolt loose before I moved it. I'll double check the plug in the morning. Are there any other places I should look?? Does the fuse box have a fuse for it? BTW... Thanks for the replies guys!

 

Check:

CAS plug by alternator.
EGI COMP and INJ fuses in engine bay fusebox
ENGINE fuse inside driver kick panel

OTher than that, I dunno right off.

 

Thanks alot. I'll check these in the morning.

Dont mean to change the subject..

I know theres a tach plug on one of the coils, so you can hook up an external tach. Is it on the trailing coils? I saw a long white female connector next to it and was wondering if this was it. Thanks

 

I checked the fuses under the hood and all were good. I replaced the ENGINE fuse, in the kick panel, cuz it was blown but the car wont turn on. The engine just rotates but wont fire.

How easy is it to break a CAS? I checked the plug and its connected. Im stumped

 

ENGINE fuse blew again. What could be causing this fuse to blow?

 

sounds like a short in that circuit. check all the wiring in and around the location you were working and make sure nothing is damaged or has rubbed through and is grounded. CAS is a very rugged piece. just moving it won't damage it. blown fuse instantly tells me you have a short. look for damaged or burnt wires.
