Pull starting it would make it for sure start as long as ignition and fuel are good.

its kinda dark but you can hear the engine cranking. and the rpm gauge bounce up a bit.
i only cranked it 3 times. i didn't want the oil to be fouled up again.

did you already check your coils??

Update:

i was checking for fuel and i have little fuel past the fuel filter.. isn't the fuel supposed to be shooting out of the lines?

what i did was I disconnected the fuel line from the filter then cranked the car and the fuel went into a old soda bottle. Very little came out. So is my fuel pump crapping out on me? or is the filter clogged?
I know its supposed to have alot of pressure pushing the fuel..

anyone have any other explanations of the fuel shooting out only little amounts ?


im check my coils with the oms meter i have

what's the voltage going to the pump?

It should be no less than 12V IIRC.

Rotary#10 11-18-2008 11:01 PM

what IIRC mean ?

If I Recall Correctly. I'd have to look at the FSM... I'm having a hard time finding it but check out the FSM sticky's last post about rewiring the fuel pump. Make sure ou have the correct voltage going to the pump.

If the voltage is fine then the pump is dead? Voltage....

I checked out the FSM for a bit and I didn't find the voltage but I did find other things to look into. Look at page F1-58.

okie i checked with my ohms meter there with FSM specs

main relay fuse good
afm good
intake air thermosensor good


lets see i took out the fuel filter and checked out the lines. clean nothing but fuel and in the filter .. mm i got curious so i dried the IN end of the filter and put my lips to it blew into the filter and fuel shot out, clean and clear. i continued this until i felt the air i was pushing thru it flowed freely.. i replaced my pump with a somewhat newer pump that i pick up along time ago. when i was doing the motor swap and didn't put it in..

still nothing but cranking though.. mmm

fuel filter ok i guess hehe...

okay update:
i checked my coils and there with factory specs.
same thing with my CAS
but my spark plug wires
the leadings are 9 oms each and the trailing... first one is 5 oms and the second 6 oms
im pretty sure my wires are alright within the specs
anyone want to correct me if im wrong?
