Ok , Iv been trying to get my car started dor a while now and still no luck ...

I replaced the fuel pump , fuel filter , sparkplugs and wires , checked the injectors , checked for spark, and checked for compression .... still no luck ...

The engine cranks and has spark but will not run .... its driving me nuttss !!!!

Is thereanything else I should be checking for?

Any sugesstions would be apreciated guys and gals ... Thanks!!! :(

Is the fuel pump powering up? Could be a dead fuel pump relay.

is there anyways i can check the relay like with a volt meter or something?

and also i forgot to mention ... when the motor is cranking .... sometime there is a very load noise ... like a buzzing noise while im cranking the motor ..... is that a serious problem? ;)

Put the key into the ON position, then use a DVM/Multimeter to check voltage back at the fuel pump. If you remove the top cover you'll see the plug going to the pump, should be 4 wires iirc.

Check them one at a time and ground against the chassis. One of the 4 wires should show +12v with the key on. If it doesn't, your fuel pump relay is dead.

You mean power at the pump, so the relay is OK.

I'd say you should start by hooking up a fuel pressure gauge to make sure you're actually getting fuel up to the front of the car.

You mentioned in your first post that you're getting spark, have compression, etc., so verifying you've got fuel is the next logical step.

What engine do you have? I know that I had the same type of problem with my Sr20det and it turned out to be the MAFS. Just had to unscrew the little sensor thats attached to it and clean it up. Worked fine after that.

sup man .... i have a ka24e .... but I'll try that man .... if nothing else works ima just swap it out for a ka24de turbo that this guy i spoke with is selling ..... I just want this car to finally start up ... hehe

[Maganda]

PS : if anyone wanna help me with the swap ... PLEASE Do ... hehe .. this is going to be my first time .... but good experience for me .... :haha:

[droid_unoes]

wow,, thats a really good price ,, make sure to port and polish the head,
, i think ive chatted with you in 240forums about a 240 for 500 o well
good luck with that buy

[Sicky00]

That is a pretty good deal. If you buy that engine make sure you go through it as much as you can afford to (gaskets, seals, comp. test). Sucks to get it in and find out that something is leaking or not right after the fact.
