no fuel to the rail

[mattsho1993]

i got the trans and motor in today all bolted up. the thing is im not getting any fuel to the rail... i hear the pump but nothing.... and also i found a plug unplugged cant find where it goes its a black plug with a blue inside and one prong its round with a sort of corner on it? also its by the computer and its got a long harness to the main.... i had somedude look on his '90 and he didnt see anything like it....

if the pump is working and you're not getting fuel to the rail, are you sure the fuel lines are attached to the rail?

if the pump is working and you're not getting fuel to the rail, are you sure the fuel lines are attached to the rail?

If they weren't fuel would be pouring out of them, I think he'd notice.

Silly question, but are you sure you got fuel in the tank? If the pump is working, then fuel either has to be not getting to it, or going somewhere down the lines.

How's the fuel filter? There has to be a blockage some where.

Jumper it under the hood at the self test connector... you can leave it on longer than 2 seconds that way..

 

[mattsho1993]

yeah deff. connected the lines lmao but which port do i test it. your talking bout the check engine box right which one do i test/jump? Its been sitting for a while so maybe some of the gas evaporated ill have to check but i dont think thats it!!!!???? what else would cause it...????

 

[Eric VerValin]

I can't remember which pin it is off hand... but what I do know is that it needs grounded out...


Grab a peice of wire.. wrap it around the battery ground, then stick it in the "EEC Test" plug.... and IIRC, if you hold it with the wide side down, it should be the pin on the bottom right... should be one of two on top.

When you find it, you should hear the CCRM click, and she should run. I do this when say I want to drop the fuel tank... pull the filter off, and catch my gas by the back wheel there..

Also check and see if maybe one of them isnt kinked... its kinda funny hose, and I can see how it might kink under the right conditons..

The plug you're talking about is the PCM ground to the battery. Off your negative battery cable, there should be a smaller wire with the mating plug on the end of it. Your car will not run without this connected.

that it the harness for the ground on the donor didnt have it now i got fuel.... thanks but now the timing is off

 

[Bob Gervais]

How is the timing off? Not sure what you did for your swap (timing belt, etc).

 

[mattsho1993]

my stupid a$$ set it to white i was rushing to get it in and this is what i get

 

[mattsho1993]

so i set the timing like 8 times and still cant get it to start i got fuel and spark????

 

[NEp8ntballer]

those marks are only good when the belt is first installed.

 

[mattsho1993]

not the marks on the belt on the crank pulley

 

[Bob Gervais]

All four screws in the DIS? Ground strap attached to intake? Missing any other grounds?

 

[mattsho1993]

yeah it just sits there and turns and when it seems its gonna start it sounds like a grind noise like the starter stopped the rpm tack is all over the place too

 

[mattsho1993]

idk this $hit is ******* me off... got fue,l got spark, all grounds attatched, all plugs plugged, fresh battery just had it charged and tested at the zone.... the only noticable thing i see is the donors cam sensor was spliced in but all is sturdy none loose.... help guys

 

[Bob Gervais]

It's gotta be timing then. From what I read, you reset the timing belt using the dot on the timing belt sprocket, and the line on the block? If so, are you sure you were at TDC for #1?

 

[mattsho1993]

i set the cams at tdc but i cant get the crank pulley off so i backed the tensioner off. I then pulled the belt off the cams, set the first dash on the pulley to the 0* mark..... i also tried the second mark idk.....
