B18FT won't start.

rgreenhalf · Post by **rgreenhalf** » Thu Nov 27, 2008 2:04 pm

I Removed Engine to allow clutch chage / timing / etc etc. Engine back in, ran for about 30seconds rich then died. Now refuses to start.

Checked Spark (on all 4)
Checked fuel pump running (even bridged fuel pump straight to battery)

Crank Sensor seems ok, resistance in values as stated by Haynes.

Whats the best way to eliminate problems? As I understood all the car needs to start is Crank Sensor? Not that I've unplugged anything else yet, as surely even with dodgy sensor somewhere it should start!

Cheers

You got spark, so I would take a guess EZK and that lot is working.

Things to check:

Power to LH ECU OK?
Check power on injector harness.
Does rev counter move up when cranking?

I'll check these tomorrow hopefully, bit antisocial to be cranking her over now! (plus its raining!)

I'm ok with mechanical stuff, but diagnostics is not my cup of tea!

Appreciate help so far.

Power to LH - Yes

Injector Power - Yes

Rev Counter bounces on startup.
