I'm hoping someone out there can help me out. I have been reading through the postings about cars that wont start and I have tried everything in the response posts and nothing seems to work.
Just to give you as many clues as possible I will try to give you as much info without taking up too much space.
-Exhaust manifold bolt broke on the way home. Pulled the Turbo and exhaust off, re-tapped stud holes, put turbo and manifold back on clean and checked with new gasket.
-Noticed harness was falling apart. Removed intake manifold and harness, re-wired harness and replaced. Re-installed cleaned intake with new gasket.
-Car wouldn't start.
-Checked all wire connections and draws according to Haynes, everything checked out good.
-Checked all vacuum hoses, everything looked in reasonably good shape.
-Checked fuel pump relay, no worky-replaced, worky.
-Checked in tank pump, no-worky, replaced, worky.
-car still doesn't start.
-Checked for spark. Lots of spark
-Checked for fuel out of cold start. Nothing!
-Checked connections on cold start and voltage and amps. Loooks good according to Haynes.
-Checked main injectors, upon cranking the engine, one shot of fuel the first time then nothing fromthat point on.
-Replaced fuel filter, just because.
-checked air flow sensor, filthy, cleaned and replaced air filter.
-Checked control valve in fuel distributor, doesn't stick AT ALL.
-Oh yeah I checked all my fuses, they all are good and clean.
-Surfed the net about K-jet systems and posted a request for info. I know a ton about it now and still the car wont start (thanks for the replies).
The problem seems to be that I am not getting any fuel to the injectors, I don't have the necessary gauge to check fuel pressure and I don't know if I can afford to spend the money, since I've spent enough so called "troubleshooting" already.
The engine will crank just fine but it just wont start.
Is it possible that I have a vapour lock in the fuel lines? If so how do you get rid of one in the K-jet system without bringing the vehicle in to someone with some fandagled piece of diagnostic equipment?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
