- Sat Jul 14, 2012 4:54 am #310876 It turns over fine can it be the main relay?

- Sat Jul 14, 2012 4:56 am #310877 Yes it can be. Can you hear your fuel pump prime. If not id say its te main

Its not about the name of the parts you use its the fact your making the attempt to make it your own

- Sat Jul 14, 2012 5:17 am #310878 Yea i can hear it nd got the injectors checkd

- Sat Jul 14, 2012 6:35 am #310880 try taking one spark plug out and ground it and see if you get a spark.

in other words: take spark plug 1 out, put it into the spark boot and put the other end on a metal ground. ask some one to crank the engine and see if you see a spark.

sounds like you might have an ignition problem

- Sat Jul 14, 2012 10:29 pm #310940 timing could be off too as mentioned

Its gettn spark And the timing?

are you asking what timing is or are you saying its right?
I had an old toyota truck that wouldnt start after a headgasket change. it had spark and fuel, turned out the timing was off the whole time

you could also do a compression test i suppose to make sure you're getting compression in all cylinders but i dont know if that would be ur problem

- Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:34 pm #311016 I mean like how could it be the timing? The motor hasnt be opened up before or anything nd i havent checked the compression yet

- Sun Jul 15, 2012 9:35 pm #311017 Thanks for the avatar help

- Mon Jul 16, 2012 11:48 pm #311133 Ok well if the engine was running before and the belt wasnt touched or anything then shouldn't be timing

- Tue Jul 17, 2012 1:14 am #311140 So it ran before and the only thing you did was change the oil and take out injectors and put them back in?

what happens when you try to start it now? doesn't turn over? just cranks? sputters?
