hi im new to the club and im fairly new to the fc world, i have a 91 fc and ive done little things here and there, emissions removal, ps ac sp manua fan removal, new engine, my prob is that the only way it will run without knocking is if the plug wires are hook up backwards on the coil packs and the timing is all the way retarded. someone told me it might be the ecm, i checked the cas and its fine and not off a tooth, timing light shows close to specs. any thoughts?

 

i posted a thread yesterday but no one replied, a have a 91 fc na and it runns great with a few mods like ps,ac, man fan, emissions removal but the only way it will run without knocking is if the plug wires are hooked up backwards on the coil packs, chacked the cas and its fine and not off a tooth but it also has to be all the way retarded for the car to run, coil packs check out ok as well, someone said it might be my ecm? any thoughts any info would be appreciated.

Hey newbie,

why you thought you needed multiple threads on the same problem is beyond me... threads merged, and bumps deleted

 

so icemark, you will come into the thread and tell me im new to the club but cant help me? wow thats awsome

 

and it sounds like your CAS is 180 degrees out

 

if its 180 out then why do the dots line up?

 

Wow your an [insert derogitory comment here]... I should remove my ******* reply and let you figure it out on your own

 

Get used to it.

Icemark has helped me, and alot of other people here on the forums, but when your a jackass don't expect help from anyone. Its not like you have to earn our respect or anything for help, you just have to follow the rules, simple as that.

 

i apologize black plauge but its fustrating when you have a thread up for almost 24 hours and the only person to reply simply says "hey newby"

 

Man shut the **** up

 

So yeh, people get angry, it happens, dont worry about them :p

Anyway, you can have your CAS 180 out of rotation easily, somone could have put your pully on wrong so the timing lines don't line up. Theres other ways this could have happend.

 

so do i just take it out and spin it 180 put the plugs on right and see what happens?

 

They seem to think your PULLEY is on wrong. Stock, it should go on only one way because the four bolt holes are staggered in such a fashion that the holes will only line up one way. UNLESS little Jimmey Numnuts, the guy who put it on last, forced the bolts in the holes by elongating the holes and now the pulley is not on correct.

Remove pulley. Examine the holes for elongation. See how the pulley should only go on ONE WAY unless forced on another way.
