I dont think copper spray is the ideal choice of sealant to bond a headgasket to head, unless its a true copper headgasket. Usually, Hylomer is the preferred choice. I doubt this no start engine problem is due to this. This engine you currently cant start, is this the same engine you just fitted brand new piston rings with? Lastly, cranking a dead stone cold engine is pointless when checking engine compression figures. Get the engine to operating temps, then do a comp test. Check the timing belt, if its been lined up properly. Take cover off and take a pic of the cam wheel position. |

The Rotor button should be at the 6:35 position. Thats the correct alignment, and NOT 6:25. |

Are you 180° out on the distributor? Take the upper timing cover off and make sure you are fitting the distributor with the cam in the right position. |

Fernando, do exactly what im about to explain. 1. Remove the distributor nut. 2. Slide distributor out so its still in the head, but not engaged to the cam anymore. Slide out approx 3cms or so) 3. Position the rotor button downwards at 6oclock. 4. Gently push the distributor against the cam, just so there is contact/contact. 5. NOW, gently push the distributor in the head so the cam gear meshes with the dizzy gear. When you complete the above, the rotor button will be, 1 notch, or 1 gear tooth in the clockwise resting position AKA 6:35 position. Thats the correct timing of the dizzy to the cam. If its incorrect by one tooth behind or forward, its very obvious and will not allow engine to run properly. With this procedure complete, the dizzy is 100% set. You will have to look elsewhere for faults/correction/adjustment of the EFI system and timing. |

Im guessing he should do that when tdc I had the same issue with an old Mazda 929t of mine. Very similar issues. The whole Fuel system was clogged. You'll get there Fernando, keep at it |

ok as i said my timing is perfect not going to remove the rest of the cover i know timing is 100%. took the top cover just to show you that the marking on the cam is perfect. you can see in pic timing in crank pully @ TDC ,is white dot so not easy to see . Removed dizzy so you can see the timing mark on it as i push dizzy in place. rotor is at the point it should be. as i said i have fuel going in ,i have spark means i have 12 volts at coil. i pour petrol down the throttle i cranked it with throttle wide open. cranked it till battery gave in. there is NO backfire NO petrol fumes that i can smell. my son going to have a try tomorrow battery should be ok by them. i feel as tho this engine is just dead does not want to go regardless what i do. its cursed

i have done 4 cylinder engine in past toyota corona replace rings bearings etc. i had hard time starting car cause i didn't no the way the dizzy was meant to go. so the engine use to backfire or wanting to start by shaking like hell.this is the reason i know or i want to no why this one wont do it. commonsense tells me its the compression,cause without compression engine will not start or backfire. so i need to check it first thing |

Wait until your error checker arrives (sent it yesterday)..........can you feather the throttle to keep it running? |

UPDATE: tank is full petrol. no change got to keep pumping accelerator in order for engine to stay alive. i believe its TPS. i will wait for tool thingy before i pull TPS black cover. i have checked fuel pressure and good constant amount comes out . the other thing could it be the gasket that i put in throttle body ?

I doubt it i will wait for tool thingy before i pull TPS black cover. i have checked fuel pressure and good constant amount comes out . You measured the fuel pressure at idle and got 36psi? the other thing could it be the gasket that i put in throttle body ? No Sounds like it is lacking fuel. Are both fuel injectors firing? Is the fuel pressure 36psi? Are the injectors that you reconditioned flowing the correct amount with good pattern? |
