No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS* July 29, 2008, 11:06:48 PM I just installed a new ignition switch and a new starter solenoid.Motor turns over fine and is getting spark.I burped the line on the rail and straight fuel, no air, came out. I also hear the fuel pump prime...I got #1 to top dead center and timed it. Nothing, I assumed it was on the wrong stroke, 180 out, and spun the rotor around, once again, nothing.The motor is an HO swapped in and the ecu is installed...The only thing I can think of is the injectors aren't pulsing...Anyone have any other ideas?There is one loose wire coming from the main eec harness that I can't figure out what it is. I can't find a wiring diagram with it in it The wire is of a cream color... When I pulled the loom off the harness and re-wrapped it, I didn't find any other cream wire... Quote Selected

No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS* Reply #2 – August 02, 2008, 10:36:05 AM Awesome post, will check for voltage today... Maybe I have a bad batch of injectors, seems odd for all 8 to be out at the same time though. Quote Selected

Maybe I have a bad batch of injectors, seems odd for all 8 to be out at the same time though.I gave a set of 19lbers to a friend for his F150 and it would only fire now and then... Seven of the eight were stuck from setting up(I removed them from a running engine)...If the EEC isn't getting the pulse from the TFI the injectors will not fire... Also if the TPS voltage is at max(over 4v) the EEC goes to dechoke mode and shuts off the injectors... Quote Selected

No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS* Reply #5 – August 02, 2008, 06:08:27 PM Mine acted that way last Sunday.I could hear the pump as well,but my pump was still bad.New pump,and it fired right up. Quote Selected

Unless there is a wiring problem back to the EEC...You could have lost the 12v signal to the injectors, the EEC fires the inj by providing ground... Quote Selected
No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS* Reply #7 – August 02, 2008, 10:18:15 PM Well, noid lights were blinking so I'm getting power to the injectors.Runs with starting fluid...I'm going drain the 4 gallons of 10 month old gas out and see if it will run...It fires when I start it over, but it sounds like one cylinder, I'm pretty sure the gas is garbage...I'm so excited though, she was running with one open-header and one open head:hick:Wish me luck yo...

No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS* Reply #10 – August 04, 2008, 09:57:30 AM undo the injector connector,manually put 12v on the injector,feel for a click.if no click, proceed to two posts above mine. Quote Selected
No start, fuel? *SHE STARTS AND RUNS* Reply #11 – August 04, 2008, 12:37:44 PM you definately have a dry rotted fuel line in the tank. it connects the pump to the line on the tank... right now your probably just dumping your fuel right back into the tank. if you repress the valve on the fuel line and have another person turn the car on, but not over, it should squirt like crazy,, but if it dribbles then u need to replace that line...its like two dolars..

I've got them out and they will be soaking in seafoam later this day.I think im gonna make a homemade sonic cleaner and set them in a coffee can and set that ontop of my dryer, gotta do laundry anyway :hick: Quote Selected
