a year later wont start
 
I bought this rx7 sport with a TIIs5 swap, the car ran for about ten min. before parked last october, just installed, greddy compression tube, removed all emissions, put in wide band with O2 noot completly hooked up? and put on a intercooler, to replace the smashed corksport one. my car will start for about 3-4 sec. maybe idle for 2 sec and die, Ijust replaced the fuel filter, all new seals on the injectors, cant till if the secondaries are leaking cuz I cant see them but doesnt seem like the problem, I was thinking timing sice so much stuff was added or removed, but how do I base time it with out a gun? any other suggestions?

Align the first mark on the pulley with the fixed pin on the front cover.

Remove the flat cover off the CAS by removing the two phillips screws.

The internals should look similar to the jpg attached. One of the two *teeth* on the CAS rotor should be cutting across the corner of the black reluctor to your left in the attached jpg. If that's not the case, then unbolt the lockdown fastener on the CAS body and rotate the CAS body til the pointer cuts across the corner of the black reluctor to your left in the jpg attached.

Then lock the CAS body down and your done. Timing will be within five degrees of being correct...easily if you do that. Check it with a timing light later for confirmation.

the 2 prong connector to the greddy compression tube has 1 broken prong I just found, does theat have anything to do with it?

I think your AFM might be malfunctioning, perhaps bcause it's not connected very well? this same thing happened when I switched to a bad AFM and didn't have all of the intake tubes securely on.

Hmmm, let's see...an engine swap that was never fully sorted- why did it only run for ten minutes?- AND a car that was parked for a year...gee willikers, what could possibly go wrong?

Seems to me that you have to approach this from two angles.
First, deal with the issues that arise from sitting for so long...bad gas, gummed fuel sock, low battery, etc. and then you have all the issues that seem common with swapped engines- vac/air leaks, bad wiring, etc.

Slow and methodical will win this race.

these is zerodrifts old car the swap has been done for some time by corksport , it only ran for ten min. before parked cuz I bought it wrecked not knowing what I had, hooked up my intercooler and drove it first start to my friends to do the body work, never been driven since as the body work has been taken care of, also some mild modafications, and emissions removal. The battery is all charged up, there was almost no fuel in it when parked recently put in a couple gallons of good gas and it looks good, the fuel filter was replaced yesterday as well.
