1Jizzle no Sparkizzle??

[love ke70]

if the timing is way out, are you sure the outer section of the timing pulley hasnt slipping giving a wack reading?

[CrUZida]

Those codes are for the auto tranny.

That was one of my ideas, but we checked that by putting a screwdriver down the sprakplug hole, and when we turned the engine by hand it reached its highest point at 0 degrees as indicated by the balancer.

This really has me stumped, it's got all the classic symptoms of an engine with the distributor out by a few notches, but when there's no distributor what do you do??

[CrUZida]

Chances of Cam Sensor 1 and Cam Sensor 2 plugs around the wrong way ?

[Rorge]

No chance, they come out of seperate holes and only reach their own plug!

[CrUZida]

Damn, worth a try

Out of curiousity have you checked the compression?



Another thing to think about is that in the past I've had heaps of troubles starting an engine.
Threw in a brand new set of spark plugs and bam, fired first click of the key.
Although the plugs in there looked ok (even after cleaning), they were obviously a bit too fouled to start a cold engine (worked fine after I put them back in a warm engine)

[Rorge]

what about just a buggered coilpack?

[Rorge]

hmm yeah i'll get another set of plugs and give them a bash in the morning. I think that might be all it'll take at this stage. She sounds pretty close.

You'd have to have 3 dead for it not to start.

It should still start on 4 cyl's

[Rorge]

Ok well another set of plugs tomorrow and we'll see how she goes!

Compression was 182-190 across all cyls

[Rorge]

Oops i was slightly off

Cyl 1: 195 PSI

Cyl 2: 190 PSI

Cyl 3: 200 PSI

Cyl 4: 205 PSI

Cyl 5: 200 PSI

Cyl 6: 200 PSI



Oil Pressure: 50 PSI at cranking speed.

[Rorge]

Do these 1jz's have different crank angle sensors or crank trigger discs???

[CrUZida]

If its like the 1UZ, then all pre 1998's are identical.

If you've def got constant spark, and constant fuel, and you have compression, then it has to be timing ?


Try a few squirts of 'start ya bastard' or similar.
Perhaps you aren't getting enough fuel ?

[Rorge]

Is there anywhere i can view/check the chopper disc? I'm guessing maybe if i remove the CAS i can see it through the hole?

I'm about to try more spark and a bit of start ya bastard

[Ribfeast]

That is some impressive compression! Mine is in the mid to high 170's!
