ok an update on my starting issues my VAF is within specs and operating fine. I found a led and I checked my codes and from what I could tell it looked like I got 3 short blinks a pause for a few second then 4 short blinks. according to the codes in the manual that means g signal crank angle sensor ...

yea I kind of figured if it was off it wouldnt start so I started the disty at one end of the bracket and rotated it slowley all the way to the other side trying to start the car with every tiny movement and it got closest to starting in the position I started in. I have tried everything possible to...

well I have never installed a disty before but I figured if I installed it the exact same way the other one came out it should work right?

could it be possible my JE50 VAF is bad?

Just got done looking at my timing belt and all seemed to be normal there. I do agree it seems like a timing issue but I could only get my disty to go in one way.... and t belt was good and in position. looks like another one of those times where my car just wants to be a pain in my ars.

hey waax I have a question for you as I am having the same problem. When you say your disty was in the wrong position did you just take it out and change the direction of the ears on the back? I tried that with mine and found mine to only go in one way....

well I couldnt get the car to start again so I pulled the disty off and tried to put it on the other way but when I tried to I realized our disty is idiot proof and only goes on one way because one ear on the back of the disty is slightly larger than the other. It really tries to start I get a chug ...

well im going to grab a timing light from a friend today and check to see how far off it is. But I thought that the timing adjusts itself from the computer when you adjust a disty?

ok my disty was bad it had no spark so I changed it out 4 a new one and now it seems like the timing is not right. I put it in the same direction that I pulled the other out. what should I do to correct the timing issue?

timing belt is around a year old. I don't think its my timing belt because my belt it still intact but I will check my timing anyway. Is there any way I can check timing without a timing light?

ok I ws driving the other day when my car just died. I tried to start it and no luck so I pushed it off the road tried to start it again got it to start and it died right after it started. When im looking under the hood as someone tries to start it I notice 2 things. 1) I get smoke coming out of my ...

also if you do get to drag racing it or even autocross putting some ice dry or regular can help give a lil extra boost if its real hot out.

my reccomendations as a former scca autocross member, an udp is not worth the risk I have one and almost put it on but my mechanic told me not to and I listen when he speaks... fidanza flywheel has always worked great for me but I also have never tried the mx-3 flywheel on my ZE. My KL31 ecu works g...

yea thats not an oil cooler its your a/c condenser you can pull all parts and not have a problem. At least I am almost positive because I have been thinking about pulling mine seems how I crushed the bottom of my a/c condenser one day when my jack gave out slipped from its proper spot and crushed my...

i just plugged mine because I wasn't using egr, but I dont think you are gonna find any pipe other than at an muffler shop.
