Any suggestions??? No start prob........

To start off with, we were in the process of replacing front main seal. Along with that went all new belts. We put the timing belt on and after double checking to make sure it was right, tried to start her up. No spark - none, zip, nada, etc. etc. So we replaced the CPS. Still no spark - and I don't want to just throw parts at it..............we are in the process of getting a scanner, but until then, any opinions???

Did you properly gap the CPS to .030"?

Also, you don't need a scanner to read the codes. Just a paperclip or a short piece of wire. There are two links in my signature to sites with instructions on how to read them yourself.

Yes, the cps is properly gapped. We will be checking into it - hopefuly tonight or tomorrow............can't wait to get it back on the road.

Ok, we checked the codes tonight. The codes are 114 and 116. We cleared them and they came right back................................
IAT and ECT out of range. anyone have flowcharts??

If the CE light goes out during cranking the EEC is recieving the PIP signal. Check all the DIS grounds, etc. Doing front end work is no where near those sensors unless you disturbed a wiring harness or the main EEC harness going into the firewall.

114 and 116 will not cause a no-start, so I'd suggest worrying about those later.

Are you seeing tach movement when cranking? Did you reinstall the two bolts that secure the crossover tube to the intake? Could you have left any connections disconnected?

ok, tac moves to about 400 rpm. do the bolts for the crossover tube act as ground for DIS???? We seemed to lose them but didn't think about that - we were just worried about it not starting - duh..................going to find me some bolts now....................

:banghd: ok ok ok ok i'm stupid....................went out and found the two bolts............fired right off. And we've been bangin our heads for a week. I coulda had her on the road so much sooner. But, I know for next time. Many many thanx.
