i have swaped the fuel lines and its doing nothing still. i put the crank at tdc and the dizzy is pointing at 1. the dizzy was easy to put on so i dont thnk i hhave it 180 out and im putting a diffent cam and bug on right now to see what it dose even tho it is getting spark

[ninja_man]

so it just started giving me a code 5 witch is a knock sensor would that keep it from starting

[wytbishop]

yes...definitely.

[ninja_man]

is there a way to bypass the knock sensor or do i have to replace it

ok the pulg came unhooked. no i dont have any codes. but it still wont start

[wytbishop]

Engines are basically very simple. If you have fuel and spark at the right time it should run...even if it runs poorly. Get back to basics my son. It'll wind up being something stupid.

i think the plug on the knock sensor is f up. is there a way to bypass that sensor

[mazdags94]

just my .02 but it's prolly not a good idea to bypass the knock sensor... also, that would most likely not solve your problem. Like it's been said, if you have fuel, and you have spark, it should start if it's timed right. If timing is off then it could still run but rough.

I remember working on my first MX-3 and redo-ing a timing belt and I forgot to plug in my coolant temp sensor and it ran like crap for a while. Turns out it was something simple. Always start with the easy/simply/obvious, then work your way to complicated. It saves time, and more importantly, MONEY.

it is the knock sensor cuz it will only start if it picks up the sensor. i have had it running a few times. then i turn it off and the cel comes on and wont start. cuz the knock sensor is not working properly

I'm having similar problems, if you solve it please post up how you fixed it.

i actually had a broken ground wire on the knock sensor plug once, and it shorted out everything. i just grounded it to the frame and she worked fine.

what wire is it that you grownded and daryl did you find anythign out yet. im still lost

[daryl]

no i'm still stuck.

But I think I might have a fuel problem. Just put new spark plugs in tried to fire it up a few times and still no go.

So I took the plugs back out 1 by 1 and noticed that the front three were all black and smelt heavily of fuel and the back three were all perfectly clean and only the very faintest of fuel smell if any?

Good luck, try a different knock sensor at least then you can rule it out.

Can you put the K8 one in? looks a b---- to get at though.

[ninja_man]

ya. i can. i got to looking tho and my ground wire was f up so i fixed it and it hasnt gave me a cel yet. im still trying to find out about the fuel rail tho cuz im not sure if my injectors are working righjt, dose any one know if there is a way to test them

[wytbishop]

Read the manual. It's in there.

ok i am haven a nock sesor probllem but mine is from the engine to the harness my plugs didnt match up (the only one) bit when i opened it up it looked to be two wires?
