new engine break in

[projectPONY]

no distributor, so no hole to use a primer

I didn't think so. I was racking my brain trying to figure out where I would use a priming shaft.

turn the key and fire the bitch up...dont be a puss....

[projectPONY]

well, it won't start. I've cranked it more than I've liked to. how can I check for fuel press on this vehicle?

This is what I ran into with my mod motor.

yup!

should be a schrader on the rail. is your firing order right? If it doesnt start right up, dont keep cranking. Thats rough on a new engine.

PS, im telling you to help you, not to freak you out or worry you.

make sure the cam and crank sensor are connected, mainly the crank sensor. Also the check engine lamp should go out while cranking (if memory serves correct), if it does but comes back on while still cranking then the ecm isn't receiving a crank sensor signal. check for spark and fuel pressure.

Koeo codes? everything plugged in ? Fuses good ? Fire fuel and time it should run . Whoops almost forgot no theft light right?

cam and crank sensor are connected. CEL goes out while cranking. spark is good. was gonna check for fuel press but AZ closed already and I don't have a press guage.

Spray some carb cleaner in the intake and crank it if it try's to start or runs for a second then you know you have a fuel issue. We pull cars into the shop all the time by manually feeding it fuel aka carb cleaner.

theft light does not blink when key is on correct, it's not a great test, but you can have someone crank it over while you depress the shrader valve and at least see if there is some fuel supply.

Haven't noticed if it blinks with the key on but I will check. I will.also be picking up a fuel press tester ASAP.
