SHO No Go

[tomslf]

I was hoping i could get some insight from you all. I just had a new clutch put in my sho and the shop called me and said your car is done except it will not start! so my ? is why the fuel pump is turning on the engine has spark is cranking fine but will not atcually turn over all the way any help would be great thanks

Tell them to got WOT(full throttle) while cranking the car. That is, if you are getting fuel/spark. I know when my car stalls, it will take a few times to start again...

Are you sure they verified spark?

x2 and WOT works for me as well... that cuts out fuel to the motor, right?

yeppers....

 

[tomslf]

if wot works to start the car what would the problem behind this be thanks for the quick replies

 

[SASHO91]

Im not toooo sure actually... but FWIW, there is nothing wrong with my car and it will do it.... i think its just the EEC trying to figure out when to fire each coil, and what not...

allthough, dont rule out a sensor problem. the CPS(cranks sensor) and CID(camshaft sensor) can both cause a no start.... OTH, you are (or supposidly) getting spark...

they (the shop) pulled the spark plug wire out on the first 3 and told me it was getting spark i then went to the shop and took the dis module off took it to advance auto parts had it tested it was good, i asked if there was any sign of leaking from the waterpump to see if the one sensor was maybe bad that was good so i will try the wot hopefully it works thanks so much

I had this same problem after I installed my clutch just last night. The first time it started fine. But I shut it off to adjust the quadrant on the pedal. Went to fire it back up, it coughed and then kept spinning. After a few seconds I decided to give it some throttle and it caught, and ran rough for a second as it burned off the excess fuel. The car had never done it before(but it had been sitting for about a month and a half). I had the same problem leaving work tonight. Gave it some pedal, and she fired up. The CID makes sense to me.

 

[tomslf]

what is the cid, where is that located at in case the wot does not work

 

[SASHO91]

its the sensor on the right(rear)bank on the front of the motor.... about 2'' round and a plug on the top of it. Above P/S pump...

Slow down, boys...

The CID sensor will NOT cause this fault......Don't waste your money....

You have spark apparently, now the shop needs to verify correct fuel pressure.

This ain't rocket science, it's just a car...
