No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS*

Reply #30
Thought I would throw an update out there...
Haven't touched the car, and I quit my job at Sears =/
I'm waiting for my final check to come in the mail, and it better have my hours they didn't pay me my first paycheck :-X

Just for shiznits and giggles, as far as the idleing goes, if the TPS is getting the correct voltage, where should I turn to?

IAC is usually the next culprit followed by the EGR system.  Let us know how the TPS works out first ;)

Should the IAC be getting a constant voltage with the key turned on?

can you post up the current situation on the car,,, a lot has changed.

Going back over this thread, I assume the following..........
car starts fine
car idles rough
spark is nice and blue / white
fuel presure is @35psi-40psi with the vac line unhooked and plugged
alt voltage output is 14vdc +- 1v


TPS green wire to ground and black wire voltage is less than a volt key on engine off an no throttle applied.
TPS green wire to ground and black wire voltage is 4.6vdc key on engine off with wide open throttle.


ACT has been removed and cleaned with carb cleaner
ECT has been removed and cleaned with carb cleaner

IAC has been removed and all ports cleaned with carb cleaner.

with your harmonic ballancer rotated to "0" TDC by hand, your rotor is pointing directly at number 1 spark plug post on the dist cap.
Your number 1 piston is at the very top
Your number 1 valves intake/exhaust are both closed.

You have sprayed carb cleaner around all vac lines while the car is at idle and listened for changes in rpms when carb cleaner hits various intake connections and vac lines.

At night, you have let the car idle and sprayed water around various electrical connections such as spark plug wires and checked to see if there is any arching in mid air....
or.............
you have manually felt the wires as the car runs to see if you get the shiznit shocked out of you.

with key off engine off, you have removed the egr vac connection and stuck a vac hose on the egr nipple.  you have sucked on the other end of the vac line and checked to make sure the hose holds your tongue up to it for a min or so........or ... you have a vac tester which allowed you to put vac on the egr and it holds vac for a min or more.


The color of your coolant is not brown or milky

The oil has no indication of water or smells of fuel

the stator assembly down in the dizzy does not have any metal shavings stuck to the magnet.  To access, you remove the metal round disc held by the two  hex screws and reinstall.

the timing has been set and checked to be at 10deg btdc by  the following process..........
Key off engine off
remove dizzy sprount connector yellow jumper short plug
start car
loosen dizzy lock bolt.
time engine to 10deg btdc with light
tighten dizzy lock bolt
shut off car
install dizzy sprout conn.
start car and listen for rough idle
Verify your TFI points generally towards your driver front corner.

get busy:D

yes,, as is the case with most of your sensors primary input power per page 59 of the EVTM posted as a sticky in electrical tech.
