    you aren't going to get any ground from the injectors.

    thats how the ecu opens the injectors, by grounding the circuit.
    so they are always getting power.
    have you tried just for shits and giggles switching out the ecu?


    have you tried energizing the fuel pump via the fuel pump check terminal? to see if its jsut yoru fuel pump that has failed?

    If i remember correctly the TRUE way to check a crank sensor is with an oscilliscope (sp?)... It sounds like you have a bad crank sensor though. Mine went out and i had no spark or fuel but the car turned over just fine. There is a fuel pump check wire on the wiring harness thats mounted on the fire wall. Its one wire with a black pig tail. I believe mine was under all of the vacuum solenoids mounted on the firewall. I believe in order to check it you just have to turn a wire from that wire to the positive on the battery and if u hear the fuel pump cut on then its working.*edit* Just thinking.. Ok.. WHen i rebuilt my motor i put the crank sensor trigger plate on backwards. I can almost GURANTEE you that is what your mechanic did and thats why your shit isnt working. SO make him check that and you be there to check it. It will be REALLY obvious when you look at it because youll see the outline from the balance shaft gear which is behind the timing gear.

    the shop u took it to should be figuring this out for you, if not give you your money back because they did not fix it. I know my customers wouldnt take it in the ass like that, I would take it back to the repair shop and tell them fix it or give me my money back, i brought it in for this problem and the probelm is still there. How much money did you spend?

  15. #15
    cant get the big bolt off without it spining

    only take the 4 bolts out.

    then pry it off with a screwdriver

    I think he is talking about taking off the crank pulley gear. Having a air impact gun makes life soo much easier removing that bolt. Using normal arm strength is difficult w/o some took to prevent the crank from moving.

    take the inspection plate off the transmission, wedge a screwdriver in between the flywheel ring gear and the bell housing. Now you can go ahead and take off the bolt that holds the crank sprocket.
