Dropped new engine in, now ignition seems way retarded. I've got spark on all four plugs but I don't think they're firing in the right order. The engine (great compression) will act like it wants to start but doesn't . Checked the wires, cas etc etc etc. One thing though, does the leading coil need to be bolted down to work right (How does it get its ground)? The leading coil is just sitting in it's spot, not bolted down (I'm in the middle of doing something different with it).

Anyone have any ideas?

 

make sure your coil connectors are the right color for the right coil.

I don't think the coil packs are bonded to the motor thru the bracket...I powder coated my bracket and have no issues.

have you put a timing light on the car?

I take it you are using a PFC...

 

Coil wires are right. Haven't put a timing light on it.

What all would cause my timing to be screwed up? I have the power fc.

Anyone?

 

Im sure steve can help you when he goes to tune your car.

 

That will be too late. It needs to be running right when he gets here. I'm not going to hand over a problem child to him. I've got 6 days before he gets here. I need to make big power!!

 

How much power you tryin to make? What setup you got?

 

t51r kai, ito huge ported motor.... vp c16

 

Got your coil packs in the right order on the motor? Chris has his on backwards after his new setup went in....I never saw him do it, but we figured it out on the dyno because his breakup was horrible:

T1 front - White
L middle - Black
T2 rear - Blue

 

Mine are in order, thanks for the imput though.

Any other ideas?

 

Ideas, anyone?

 

check the 2 electrical plugs by the crank trigger, sometimes people mix them up.
John

 

those are in the right order.

 

Anymore ideas?

 

How's the fuel situation?

Plugs coming out wet?

 

back to basics...plug wires?

what eles has changed?

 

Thats what i was getting at.....

Unless something is COMPLETELY fubar.....

Fuel+Spark+Compression=running (may not be the greatest)

 

Got it running tonight, those ITO ports sound awesome!

Swapped out a new harness and it fixes it.

Thanks guys.

We'll have to see what kind of power this thing makes this weekend with steve kan tuning it

 

cool! good luck
