I know! I'm starting to get nervous! Not much left though really. It's just the moment of starting it that is making me nervous! We pretty muc just have to change tranny fluid, valve adjustment, oil, put radiator and hoses back in, coolant, and that's about it. Crossing my fingers!! All help is appreciated, but I understand being far away. I was three hours away from this little guy for too long. :(

Watch out for the coolant cook-off!

M20 won't start. Car has been sitting for litte over a year. Ran about half a gallon of old fuel out the gas line that connects to the rail. Changed the cps with a known good one. Timing, fuel and spark is all correct and present.
Any help or advice greatly appreciated

Sounds like its starving for fuel! I read on another forum that if you take out the spark plugs and put a spoon of oil into each cylinder, put the spark plugs back in then car starts right up. I dont know if anyone else has tried it on here.

You cross the connectors for the reference sensor and CPS sensor? Easy to do.

Also, after you lose fuel pressure I know it takes quite a bit of cranking to get the fuel system psi back up to spec. What are your relay looking like? Swap them for known good ones. How sure are you that your CPS sensor is good? Take it off your daily!

AFM connected?

[AbeSonic]

I'm doing a compression test as soon as I get home. I took the CPS sensor out of my running convertible so I know it's a good one. AFM is connected. We are getting fuel pressure at the hose that connects to the rail. I think we may have gotten the water in the C102 plug when we were pressure washing it. that is my hypothesis

[kid325e]

Your fuel lines hooked up correctly?! Got good relays in the AUX box?

Betting it's something stupid simple. What is the C102? Do you mean the C191 connector for the fuel injector harness?

[KLiz90]

Taking a break on it until after E30 picnic weekend is over. I'm sad that it won't be there, but that's ok. It probably is something stupid simple, which is frustrating. Frustrating in the sense that it's basically there, but not quite. Hopefully we get it figured out soon enough. I miss E30 life.
