No spark and no fuel and getting frusterated

bigsy · Post by **bigsy** » June 17th, 2006, 6:54 pm

Hey

Ok, I have the milenia KLZE(curved neck) installed and I have all the plugs in except the knock sensor and the secondary sensor. The only other mod under the hood is that i replaced the stock airbox with a open cone filter. At the moment we are trying to turn it over and I am not getting any spark (yes i know others are talking about this in some other posts) and the fuel pump isnt starting up either( which i saw mentioned in another post as well). But nothing I have fuond has been able to help me out. If anyone has any suggestions/solutions then please let me know as the ZE swap is starting to frusterate me

Otherwise I might start by ordering a new distributor, which runs me into another problem, what vehicle would I order a new distributor for?
Thanks

No Spark during spark test. Plug removed, car turned over , no spark to ground.. Fuel. No sound from fuel pump and no pressure, I am suspect that sensor info is telling the ecu to cut fuel and spark. All sensors have proper plugs, ground and vacum attachments. I have gone over the entire sytem so many times, I am worried I am missing something really simple.

Well I imagine it's possible that it is simple. Myself and others like you had mentioned already brought it to your attention of the need for those sensors. I think you also answered your own question. Get your knock and coolant sensor issues taken care of and then re-evaluate. I don't think there's any magic answers out there. I won't mention if you've checked all of your fuses, inside the car and under the hood.

Also, next to the ECU, verify the relay is there for your fuel pump.

Checked that, turns out the fuel lines were hooked up backwards and that the timing was so far off the ecu was telling the pump not to start. So now I have fuel, the pump starts and can smell gas and everything, still missing spark though, even tried a distributor from a 96 mx-3. We checked the connections to the distributor and it is receiving all the power and what not for it to deliver spark but there is something telling it not to send spark. So one problem solved and been stumped on this one for a few days now, any suggestions?

Check to make sure you have your 2 ground wires on the engine, I would go ahead and add a few extras.

Have you installed the knock sensor and second coolant thermosensor yet? If not, anticipate a few more possible problems once you eventually get it started.
