Hey guys, I've posted in Classic skylines but havn't had much help.

Please check out http://www.skylinesdownunder.com/forums/sh...9894#post449894 and reply to me in here. I'm pulling my hair out trying to sort this!

Are the injectors actually firing?

I've heard people say on here to pull the CAS off, spin it by hand with the ign at the "on" position, and listen for the clicking of injectors.

L20et's do not have a CrankAngleSensor....

Have you got compression? Checked valve clearances?

Might be stating the obvious but have you looked for the 3 points of combustion? Fuel, spark, and compression? Pull a plug out n see if its wet after cranking, check to see if your getting spark by earthing a removed plug on the head, test for compression...Im no expert but unless the compression was really bad on all cylinders you would get some sort of firing...

Hope you get it running!

Have you checked your battery?

Sometimes simple things are the cause.

If it's run off an ECU, how does it know when to fire then? (Not common with L20ET). The ECU needs to know somehow where the engine is upto cranking. Spinning said device, will enable the injectors to fire.

have you checked the injector plugs?

and they run off a dizzy, not off a crank angle sensor.

Has this got the big dizzy, about 4" diameter (ie much bigger than the older L-series dizzies)? If so, it has a slotted disk inside that acts as a CAS. If the detector in that was cactus, then the ECU would not be getting the required signals to open injectors and fire sparks.
