wont start

[Powers]

umm probably just have to rent one and figure out how to do it myself. i have not put the exhaust on so there is no o2 sensors hooked up would that do anything?

[deadeye]

It shouldn't make it not start. It will just run like crap when it does. If your in doubt plug em in and see if it helps.

The code reader is cake. All you gotta do is push a button and it does the rest for you. Thats gonna be your best bet at this point.

with a nice downpayment autozone might rent theirs

My o2 sensor is non existant at the moment and my car runs fine. Don't think that would cause a no start.

[Powers]

ok i didnt think it would really do anything like not make it fire at all

Check and make sure the ground wire is connected that plugs together by the thermostat housing. It is a single black wire with i think a yellow stripe and it plugs into another single wire of the same. I forgot to do that and it had nothing.

Hmm... You replaced the cam sensor behind the intake cam? Did you make sure to put the correct cam gear back on after you did this? No reason to take the exhaust cam off but could the intake cam have gotten switched with a different one or even the exhaust cam if both gears were taking off?

[Powers]

They are in the correct possition I had them marked

Where is the car located? Did Twack swap the motor or just do the timing?

[Powers]

Car is by Mankato and be helped bolt it in but me and a friend hooked everything up so honestly I'm sure it's some hooked up wrong or not at all

ya i came out and put the timing belt on the engine while it was out of the car. I had some extra time so i also got it on the motor mounts. Alliance i know you had a way of towing a couple weeks ago could you tow it to get that code checked?

[Powers]

this weekend i got a friend that works at advance auto parts he is gonna bring one over and we are gonna check it

[95talonracer]

You never answered my question. Did you check to see if that one single black wire was plugged in? If not, that will make it not start.

[EclipseGST]

That single black wire with yellow stripe should be the starter wire for the ignition. That wire would make it so the car wouldnt even turn over... IIRC

[Powers]

Well the car turns over so the ground is fine

[Powers]

ok so i cant figure this crap out so if someone would come help me out that would be awesome im sure we can work something out if anyone has some open time on sunday and would want to come help that would be awesome so let me know

No this is a different one.

[twack]

to help whoever comes out you should get that code read first so they dont drive out there for nothing

[Powers]

can do ill get that tonight

Have you ever checked the ECT sensor (Engine Coolant Temp), when they go bad they give a ridiculous temp reading and the ecu doesnt know what to do. Ive had a few of those go bad causing many a headache.
