ok everyone I got a brand new set of plugs and some starting fluid Im gona try to start her up againin a few mins. If it dont start I will get some one to pull me to start it. I will let ya all know if it works or not

 

Starting fluid...FUN!! Just be careful with it!

 

It's been almost 4 and a half hours! I wonder if he got it going?

 

Dunno... Its pretty bad when this is the only suspense I get all day. God I need a life....

Yeah, same here. I just moved to Boston, and since then my life has been so damn boring, nothing to work on, nothing to do, just wait for the girl to get home.... Maybe I can find someone near here needing rex help

 

hahaha...man...you people sound like me..

 

Sonicrat come to calgary I can give you lots to do hehe.

 

I've been there before, don't have much reason to return anytime soon though. I stayed in High River for a while and went to calgary a couple of times while I stayed there

 

you can help me drill this bolt out in houston texas if calgary seems boring to you

 

I hate high river. The roads there suck I need to find like mechanically abled friends. My motor isnt going to pull itself lol

 

We are shamelessly hijacking this thread....

 

oh yeah...sorry

 

No shame, if he'd get back here and tell us how it went we wouldn't be boredly hijacking his thread :]

 

true..true..he had been gone for a damn long time

 

Yeah he has. Maybe hes still push starting the car lol

You know sonic, the only thing I like about the drive to high river from calgary is the fact you can set cruise control to like 180 and just sit there chattin/listening to music and ****.

 

ok guys I just pulled this pig all after noon and it smoked like hell at first then no smoke but she just wont start !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It has new plugs in it fresh gas all new upper and lower intake gaskets fresh oil water pump housing gasket and water pump gasket no leaks anywhere. I changed the cas just incase it was bad with my old one nothing will not fire. It does get warm to the touch so it is tryin to run . But hell I had it up to 5500 rpm and it wont start !!!!!!!! plugs are dry when I stopped pulling it so it aint flooded but I tried to do a comp test and I get nothing on the reading on either rotors !!!!!!!! still !!!!!!!!!!! Im gonna see if I can find another comp tester just to make sure. HELP HELP It shouldnt be this hard to get it running

 

Okay, calm down there slugger... Take 5 and have a break..

Now think...Did you forget ANYTHING? Reconnect the fuel pump? All of the intake hooked up? All the fuses in? If the plugs are dry, there is no fuel getting to the engine..

Remember, if you take that LONG tube from the air filter to the Throttle body off of the car, your car WILL NOT RUN..

PM me with your phone number (I get free long distance) and I will talk you through this.

Rat

*edit* And please dont spray half a can of starting fluid down the intake before you try to push start. a LITTLE fluid is fine..

 

check your fuses under the dash too, specifically the one that says 'motor'

 

Oh, here's a hint, try to push the AFM flapper open a little while you crank and see if you can get it to start then, if you can then there must be one big-*** vacuum leak somewhere! (worked for me when I had a massive leak)

 

I just went and got a 150.00 MAC compression tester from my roomates sonlinlaw who is a nissan mechanic . We did a comp test on this motor and I still get nothin on both rotors .
Its getting gas and I have the kill switch to stop it if I need to . But all it does is goes bump bump when you turn it over with the starter . When we pulled it for a mile or more it would do the same. If I floored it you could just hear the air flowing but if you gave it just a little gas it would pop kinda .
I just am worried about the no comp at all ? Im gonna pull the intake off tomorrow as long as weather lets me and check it all again just to make sure.

 

Hmm...May need to actally put some ATF into that one.

This is EXACTLY what the indications were on my 10th AE. When you pull the plugs and turn the motor, can you feel 3 light puffs from the plugholes?

 

Take the plugs out and turn it over and listen for loud whooshes, if you only hear small little whooshes(hardly noticable) there is a problem, if you hear loud even bursts of air all should be well

 

Not quite..Mine had very quiet ones...but after I push started it, everything was fine..

Rat

 

Strange, even after mine was horribly flooded it was pretty damn loud compared to when it was dead

 

ok guys Im gonna go get some dinner I havent eatin anything all day and I need a BIG JIMBEAM AND COKE OR A JACK AND COKE !!!!!!!!!!!! I will be back online in about 2 hours think about what I was sayin maybe some more Ideas may come to yo all for me.
I did get a reply from the guy I got the motor from he is very upset about it.
Thanks again every one I will be back in a few
