Test for power at the harness plug going to the distributor with either a test light or multimeter.

If you have power there then it would be the distributor at fault.

Can you get the motor to turn over at all with jumping it or does it just dim the lights when you try to start? How are you checking the spark? You probably already checked, but make sure the terminals are clean and are making good connection cause that's what gives me problems alot with my no start...

There's plenty of info floating around that indicates "all k-series" engines have there faults and failures as with all engines do in some sort. Yes the ZE had weak retainers, but replace them with DE retainers and springs and be satisfied knowing in "stock" form, you have a ZE ...

Sorry Blake, but no i'm not in over my head cause you just happen to take my comments in a direction that wasn't intended in the first place to try and make me look like an a--. I do agree with what you're getting at, but my argument was about performance in "stock form", not reliability a...

I'm not spouting any misinformation here as a few have agreed that it all just depends on its purpose which was exactly my point from the beginning. Apples to apples without tearing into an engine and replacing cams and the headache of tuning megasquirt I would still purchase a ZE and be done. :roll:

JDM mx6 had a better and larger exhaust then the k8 IIRC. A ZE with a k8 exhaust and a ZE ecu would be putting like 180ish to the crank no problem, which is still better then a DE and it makes more torque too. Agreed Rob... And for the record I'm not running a K8 exhaust. I have 2" mandrel ben...

I'm not saying my engine is putting out 200 HP at the fly, but the factory numbers were achieved with stock exhaust manifolds, not headers and not a $400.00 exhaust system. There is also minimal difference in power between curve neck and straight neck manifold, maybe 1-2 HP. I feel people just get d...

Your car looks red in those pics. I wish the show wasn't 8 hours for me cause I would go.

You're entitled to your opinion... There's a reason that the true performance builds on ProbeTalk, MX6.com, and elsewhere completely skip over the "Real KLZE", and lean towards the DE or G4. Look no further than John Kessler's high comp 10K RPM build(built DE), Leo323s built ITB high comp...

Mostly the general forum misconceptions about the "real KLZE", but that's a rant I would like to entirely avoid at this point... It has it's proponents and detractors, and in the end it comes down to personal preference... Most people will go with "Well, I bought this one, so it's be...
