We're still pulling our hair out. Took a perfectly running car. Pulled the engine to install a new muffler and straighten the front motor mount.
Now it won't start at times. Right now I have NO FUEL SPRAY from the injectors when we crank the ignition. It won't start like that. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/mad.gif) Checked the valve adjustment, A-Ok. Checked the ignition. All checked out, both HT & LT. We did have the ignition wire hooked to the (-) for a while. But switching it back didn't help. Could that have burned up something I can't see ? Fuel pressure perfect 29psi. Pumps 8 oz in 15 seconds. Here's what I have now : When you charge the ignition. One opposing pair of the injectors click. But a couple times. I got nothing. ZERO. Then I unhook the harness to check the trigger points. I still get the click of the injectors with the harness unplugged. Is that right ? So that leads me to test the harness to the ECU. All three (12, 21 & 22) test fine. Both continuity and signal. Still stumped. Tested the signal out of the trigger point connector. Fine on both sides. Now I pull the injectors to test for spray. Nothing. I get a burst at the start. None during the cranking. Then a couple bursts when we turn the key off crank. That is screwed up. Pulled the plugs dry as a bone. There has to be a simple answer. Its not that complex. But I'm missing something. How come no spray at ignition crank ? |

Wait a minute. I don't think i understood. Are you saying all of the injectors open? If so then there are a couple of possibilities. One is fuel delivery. What is the fuel pressure? Fuel may not be getting to the injectors so check the fuel pressure regulator with a gauge, fuel pump, fuel filter, sock in the fuel tank. Second possibility is electrical if fuel is getting to the injectors at the correct pressure.
These are peak and hold injectors so full current opens them and it is reduced to hold them open. Check the resistance in the harness. They may be openning and then not have enough current to hold them open so the pulsewidth is too short. The injectors maybe failing. Swap them to the other side and see if the problem follows them. Good luck Dave |
