Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project

ok. so last night we got everything together to verify the engine starts but ran into a minor issue. It wouldnt start.
Checked spark and its getting it. so the ignition system is working.
Checked timing and that is still dead on.
Compression was a bit low (90) but this was likely due to a low battery as it was winding down when i did the test. At least there was some compression.
No fuel. Made sure there was gas in the car by adding some i had in a gas can. Fuel pump is not turning on. I put 12v to the check wire on the fuel pump and the pump turned on. After 3 i will be getting a MPI relay from Mark to see if that is the issue. In the meantime, its time to fill up the tranny and transfer case and start bleeding the clutch and brakes and get some other minor stuff done. then once she is able to be started hopefully i can take her for a spin.
Tom

So, why would you fill up the tranny and xfercase *after* trying to start it? Lubrication. Do it dude!

Fingers x'd for MPI relay making this thing finally come to life!

^ doesn't need fluid in the tranny to run. He said START, not RUNNING/DRIVING.

Easiest way to check fuel pump: pull off fuel feed line from rail and see if gas comes out when you turn the key to on.

Hope that MPI relay fixes your issue.

Transmission components are still moving even if the car isn't.

Check for user id < 500. That should give you a pretty good idea.

Re: 1992 Eagle Talon TSI Project

yea it was just to start it, and it didnt. but anyways, transmission and xfer case are filled.

I attached a switch to the pump so that it would come on and i would know its coming on and could feel the fluid going through the lines. But still no gas getting to the pistons.
Is there a fuse for the injectors? or should i be looking at the CAS? I have a spare that i can swap in thankfully.

Not on a 1G.

So what all has been verified? Do we know that there is spark, compression, and fuel?
