So I am kinda in a panic here as I need to leave soon so time is of the essence here.
I had to put in another b6 motor into my sisters 323.. The motor I got is from a 92 or 93 mx3.. same engine it seems except the injectors are black and not red and the alt/crank pulley use a ribbed belt instead of a V belt..
Anyways, I have spark and I have fuel going to the rails (if I pull the line off gas blows out everywhere). It will not start, I think that the fuel is not coming out of the injectors for some reason? I try to start it for abit and the plugs are not wet at all.. I even pulled a plug to see if fuel will shoot out of the cylinder but I didnt see anything. I have the injector harness plugged in, is there something I am missing? I made sure the fuel lines are on correctly (filter line on firewall side and return line on the rad side). Anyone help me out?
Could timing play a factor here? The disty is from the old motor and is a REALLY tight fit to get in, seems that you can only install it one way though, not possible to turn the dizzy 180 degrees correct? I tried but it didnt seem to want to go like the v6 distys.
Any insight would be helpful.

Re: Cannot get B6 to start

Re: Cannot get B6 to start
Okay... I've just tried wiring up the ignition according to the link that I posted, and the distributor order on G-30 or wherever. They're horribly wrong. I just found this out. The car won't fire up like that.Ryan wrote:I know, Solo and I went over this already. that is the cyl order, the firing order is, like you posted, 1-3-4-2.

Here's a link to a thread that I found by Tunes67 saying essentially the same thing. Is this stickied??
