no start after rebuild

discord · 12-22-2009, 06:20 PM

i did a visual check of the harness before installing. I didnt unwrap the the wire loom tho to check inside. I will check the ignition switch as well as try to get power to the ecu. I am also suprised that only b1 is getting power and not the other two. your right, sounds like a wiring problem. when I hoocked up my multi meter to those other 2 the voltage actually showed a negative of about 1.5v on both. not sure what that means...thanks much cre for your input.

ok, I removed all engine grounds and made new ones. now I'm showing a voltage at b2 and batt but its only between 4v and 5v.... still no start tho

Do you know how to test for voltage drop across a line? You place one test lead at each end of the wire (the wire needs to be connected so there is voltage to read), place the negative lead on the side closest to the + terminal in the circuit then place the negative on the other end. The voltage you see reported will be the total drop across the wire. More than a couple hundred mV and the wire should be replaced.

When testing across a larger circuit it is sometimes easier to test the whole thing and then slowly close in until you've found the individual point of failure. So in this case you'd place the negative probe on the battery's + terminal. Then you'd place the positive probe at the harness' +B connector resulting in a reading of a drop of about 10v. Now you move back along the circuit to the next junction and test. If the voltage drop is still present you move along to the the next junction closer to the battery. If it isn't then you test the voltage drop across the wire at the ECU harness and that first junction.

now the car is back firing thru the intake and exhaust pipes are getting warm...I havent check any voltages yet, but the back firing thing has been the most activity since it was installed? good thing?

cre · 12-23-2009, 05:18 AM

The back firing means the mechanical timing is a mile off. Realign everything to 0? then look into the voltage issues.

ok, will do, and i'll get back. thanks much for your help

oh ya and to get the timing right i'll need to know which wire go where on the cas. I had to get a new connector because the wire on mine were deteriorated and came out of the connector. I can only guess where the go. I had a guy bring over another harness so I could tell but he will not answer my calls now. the wires before the connector on the stock haarness are a different color then the ones after so I cant match the colors? anyone have a picture of theirs? thanks!

ok finally got it started. doesnt run long as i expected due to vaccuum bugs. I am tho pretty sure oil should not shoot out the exhaust side of the turbo, am I right?

cre · 12-29-2009, 12:19 AM

Ummm.... oil + exhaust.... not unless turbo technology has gotten VERY strange in recent years.

haha ya I know. turbo is blown apparently so off it goes and back to the drawing board. thanks for all your help cre!!
