Djanssen Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share #13 Posted May 17, 2016 Checked continuity from pin1 to gnd and the circuit is complete - 1.2 ohms. With coil (-) connected to gnd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted May 17, 2016 Share #14 Posted May 17, 2016 1.2 ohms is pretty good. So you have spark ,and you have connection to Pin 1. So we're in to the odd possibilities. Like cam timing or ignition timing is off, or the ECU isn't getting what it needs through Pin 1 even though it's corrected right. I've had two cars that wouldn't start with the tachometer disconnected. Is your tachometer installed and connected? Look at Post #45 here. Some good timing things to check. If it won't start with a good blast of starting fluid in the intake manifold it's not the ECU's fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djanssen Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share #15 Posted May 17, 2016 Gap was at .025", now at .032". sprayed starting fluid in each cylinder when gaping plugs - nothing. No pop or catch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djanssen Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share #16 Posted May 17, 2016 Tachometer is hooked up and moves slightly when turning over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djanssen Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share #17 Posted May 17, 2016 I'm gonna try swapping ECU Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djanssen Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share #18 Posted May 17, 2016 I swapped around the plug wires from 153624 to 624153 And got some kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EuroDat Posted May 17, 2016 Share #20 Posted May 17, 2016 (edited) By moving the leads around, you are indicating something is wrong with the timing. Are you sure nr. 1 spark plug is firing on tdc compression stroke. Could be 180 degrees off. Take nr.1 spark plug out and turn motor by hand to make sure it coming up on compression. Engine was rebuild and has not run yet. We have some unknowns to deal with. Its not just: it was working and then stopped. It's something to tick off the list.

Djanssen Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share #21 Posted May 19, 2016 Swapped ECU with known good unit. No luck. After swapping the plug wires back, there was a bump that almost stopped the starter. Timing off? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zed Head Posted May 19, 2016 Share #22 Posted May 19, 2016 (edited) Never mind. Good luck. Edited May 19, 2016 by Zed Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djanssen Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share #23 Posted May 19, 2016 Do I just rotate the plug wires one position at a time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djanssen Posted May 19, 2016 Author Share #24 Posted May 19, 2016 At 536241 it started wanting to catch, and I could smell gas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
