No Start Please help Guys

[SkylineR33Lad]

Ok so here we go. I brought a r33 series 2 gtst with low compression. It was running before i pulled the head off. I found that the head was f**ked and the exhaust vavles were leaking badly. the cam caps were around the wrong way witch destroyed the journals. So i have a second hand head that has been fully overhauled. Cost me a arm and a leg. Ive put everything back together and tried to start it. It cranks but no fire. I have found that the half moon pin on the exhaust cam is snapped off and ive set the engine to TDC and alined the cas to where the moon use to be and still no start. I get a fire every now and then but wont start. I can hear the injecters ticking and ive got spark. Im 99% sure the timming is right. Both cam and crank timmig marks all seem to line up. Ive allso checked ive got the fuel line going into the rail and fuel return out the regulator. Ive tried 3 different cas's. It has a adjustable HKS exhaust cam gear. It hasnt been adjusted and was all running okay before i pulled it apart. Really appreciate any help guys thanks

I thought id just leave this herr

If the half moon is broken off what is turning the CAS? What kind of head did you fit?

[SkylineR33Lad]

So as from my research the half moon is just a locater so it makes it easy to line up the timing. When its broken you have to manually line up the teeth on the cas by having it TDC and theres a mark on my cas that when lined up it lines up to where the broken tooth use to be. Its hard to explain. But ive got that sorted im pretty sure. Ill upload some photos. Ive just pulled my coils and plugs back out and ive got a really strong spark on all 6. Im trying to look down the cylinders and turn the cas to see if i can see fuel going into the cylinders but i cant see fuel but i can head the injecters. Does anyone know if i should be able to see fuel getting sprayed into the cylinders.

[SkylineR33Lad]

Update. So when i use my noid lights to check pulse on the injecters it lights up when the fuel pump is primeing and soon as i cant here the fuel pump theres no more flashing from the noid light. Ive check theres a solid 12.4V at the injecters

[SkylineR33Lad]

Ok so it looks like im not getting injection pulse. The noid light lights up once and then doesnt come back on. I can hear and see the coil packs sparking away but just no injection. Ive got power supply and ive tries 3 different cases. Also swapped ecus still nothing. Looks like i might have a wiring issue im assuming

Pull out the coils and spark plugs, place the plugs into each coil and rest them on the cam cover creating an earthing point.

Remove the CAS from the motor however have it connected to the loom, power the car and manually rotate it and see if all cylinders are firing and if the fuel pump relay clicks over.

A bit ghetto but does the trick when you're on a stock ECU as there isn't an easy way of viewing the data you need.

[KiwiRS4T]

If you pull the plugs out after attempting to start you should be able to tell which if any have petrol on them.

Ok guys. Update
Ive done what your guys have recommened and still no luck so i thought id start f**king around with the harness and i was testing continuity between ecu and cas. I found my injecter line was broken somewhere. So i ran a wire from my ecu to the cas and now i have injection pulse. But now we have another problem. It fires a little bit when i fully retard the timing via the cas. So i thought id remove the bolts from the cas and retarded another 30-45 degrees and after 20 seconds of cranking it finally starting but didnt sound good at all. I touch the throttle and it died straight away. Im certian that my timing has to be out because why else would i have to retard my timming that much to get it to run. And not even run good. Im going to pull my timming belt back off and check the timming again. Will keep you guys posted.

Okay guys so i found my problem and need yout help. When i was timming up my timming belt i didnt relise that the hks exhaust cam gear i using has to timming dots and im certain that i time it ul to the wrong timming dot. Has anyone every fitted a hks cam gear and what mark do i use to time it up. P.S im praying to the car gods that i havnt bent any valves on my freshly reconed head!!!

[SkylineR33Lad]

These are the two timming marks im talking about!!!

[Ben C34]

The blue one.

 

The one on the right as it is square to the bolts. Which one did you use?

[SkylineR33Lad]

Hi guys thought id just leave this here as shes all running nicely now. The issue was that i had the wrong timming mark lined up witch i am amazed at how i didnt bend any valves. The car gods were watching over me. So all running good now. Now time to go blow some tyres. Cheers for the help guys

you're a lucky kid...

I have never been lucky with anything RB related

[Ben C34]

2?question 

1: why is there two timing dots? That’s dumb 

b: how did you not see the other dot?

 

 

you lucky boy
