I've got spark, compression, and fuel.... eng is "in time" but car doesn't run.
I've moved the cps 180, I've moved it 1 tooth before, 1 tooth after, I've spent 4 Saturdays trying to get it to crank up... with no luck. I first thought that spark was weak... and not firing when down in the head. I can pull all the wires and stick spark plugs in them, and watch all of them fire... nice blue fire.
I can check the spark plugs, and they are all wet. I disconnected the cold injector just incase it was sticking open... still no help. I've removed plugs, disc. the injectors and cranked the car over to dry out the cylinders... put the plugs back in and they just get wet with fuel again.
I turn the ignition switch to the on position, and both sides of the fuel injector terminals have 12volts... is this normal? One side blinks when cranking... so I figure that when the one side goes low, then there is a diff. in voltage and that makes the injector work.
I've checked all my grounds, all my wire connections... and all checks ok... I've tested the ignitor with the book checks... and all is good. I have no codes stored.... It's driving me, my mechanic dad, and my wife nuts (cause I'm working on it so much.
Has anyone ever had this problem? To have fire, but plugs get wet... and no start? It looks like I will take to to Toyota. I work at a Nissan dealership as a Service Advisor, and I know how dealerships work. They are not super hero's.... just men... (the mechanics). I can see it now. Well, 1st we are going to have to put an engine harness in before we can go any further. Then they are going to try to justify swapping $400 ignitors, cps sensors... coils... etc at my expense.... until I say... no. And then want me to come get my car.
I am so damn bummed. My car was running.... just knocking. I took out the motor, took the oil pan off and had the crank turned, and put bearings in it. I also fixed an intake manifold leak @ #1 cylinder (gasket). But it was running / cranking fine. Since I've put it back together.... it just won't crank / run.
I've checked all my body, engine grounds... etc, triple checked cam timing, crank pos sensor... etc.
Anybody have any idea's I can try as a last resort?
