Cranks but no start

[spaceshuttle]

I am pretty sure its getting fuel it's a least getting to the rail is there an easy way to check the injectors. I switched the rotor and the cap and I am still only getting spark on 3 and 6.

With a new rotor & cap the only possibilities left for the spark issue are bad ignition wires, a bad CPS, or a bad DME.

Ignition wires switched and the CPS. DME how do I fix that is it the ECU sorry I am not very smart when it comes to electric stuff

I'm having a similar problem, engine cranks over strong but no start. the plug wires, coil, and distributer cap are all good. the cap is brand new as are the plugs. i checked the pulse sensor and the resistance is in spec. fuel is also making it to the fuel rail with good pressure

[Barista]

I am having the samw issue as enzo90. I also changed the fuel pump/filter and checked the ICV. Don't know what else to check so far.

[enzo90]

also just checked the main relay and it is good, when i connect the jumpers i hear a quiet buzzing and then i crank the engine and no change

[enzo90]

i found out my problem, broken timing belt, after 20,000 miles since i last did it.

[spaceshuttle]

Checked the timing belt the tensioner bolt that keeps it to the block broke, belt slid forward and was rubbing on the cover switched it for a new one fixed the bolt and checked the timing. Oh and still doesn't start. Now i switched the rotor, cap, and plug wires spark plugs are good. It's still only firing on 3 and 6. I am going to start buying things new what should I get first main relay? DME? help me please. haha

help bump

Now i switched the rotor, cap, and plug wires spark plugs are good. It's still only firing on 3 and 6.

If you only have spark on those cylinders with new wires, cap, rotor, and plugs, the possibilites are:

Bad CPS
Bad coil
Bad DME

Replace with known good parts in that order.

I figured it out i had the coil wire on the wrong spot on the cap. Now I just need help with timing when I put the good belt on I am pretty sure i was a couple teeth off but how do i get the belt on with out the head moving?

[spaceshuttle]

Okay timings good it should take two rotations of the crank to match up again with the head right? I got it running and idling on its on but when i go to rev it up it will only go to 2k whats my problem now?

[spaceshuttle]

help anyone?

Turn the engine until the timing mark on the cam shaft lines up and the markon the cam sprocket is lined up (or almost if off). If the timing is off, loosen the tensioner and remove the belt. Then align the cam sprocket marks. When installing the belt start with the load side (the side closest to the intake) and then work the belt on. If the load side is tight the timing won't change as you work the belt on. Once the belt is on an dproperly tensioned, rotate the engine through two revolutions and stop when the crank marks line up. If the belt is correct that cam sprocket marks will be lined up.

still doesnt start fuck my life
