Thanks!

Sup guys. Anyone have a set of rear seat belts from an 84 or 85? Text me at (360)920-8846 if so. I got cash or PayPal ready

Sent you a text..

[delamaize]

my steering rack is so tight

$10,000 engine rebuild soooooooooooooooooooooon!

[djjerme]

Track day NO!


speaking of things unrelated - when tha hell is someone going to organize a dyno day?

[Matt-B]

Any shops with decent parking and a dyno in pdx?

Maybe add a BBQ? I can ask around.

M20 no start issue...anybody have any ideas?

[Rennsport]

Do you have spark? crank position and spark inductive sensor plugs mixed up? (they look the same, easy to do)

[MPLFoster]

yup. good signal to and from the coil. CPS is connected to correct plug.

[Matt-B]

Pulled fuel line and getting fuel while cranking?

[MPLFoster]

yes, fuel line pressurizes up to spec.

[Matt-B]

Is there a ground on fuel rail like 24v? Sounds like injectors aren't operning. I keep a few spare injectors to plug in and crank.

Could be a bad relay perhaps, on the new harness?

[Matt-B]

M20 harnesses are also known to wear thru a small wire , or so I hear. And make injector harness not work

[djjerme]

just 24v swap it and be done with it..


The harness connector plug on the side of the block is a known failure point. Clean it with some contact cleaner, pack it full of Dielectric grease and check it. Often, I take them out of the factory bracket and just let it hang out.

The injector harness plugs into the engine harness where it has a grounded pin. i checked the plug and all signals are good. injectors pulse while cranking.

I feel dumb for this but i hadnt thought of swapping the relays from either harness. i will try each relay in succession.

Intake side where the injector harness plugs into the main engine harness? i noticed it was a bit oily. i will clean it and get some dielectric grease in there. thanks for the ideas. i'll try these things and report back.

and i wish i had the means to go 24v. would be nice but not in the cards at the moment.
