Long story.. Boosted my car with stock internals and with my heavy foot, well it didn't last that much. After a year and finally a job that could help me built my car back. Well I bought pistons, rods , bearing and machine work, I put everything back the way it was and when I went to turn it on it didn't start f*** ahhhhh. Check all grounds, fuses , relays... the dash truns on everything do I have to reprogram the comp. o do something else.

does it even turn over?

Walter_TRD_21

yeah it turns over manualy but not with the key in the ignition ready to start.

are you getting spark or fuel?

does it make any noise or just turn the key and nothing? More information is really needed

alienvictim

anytime that occurs usually its a spark, signal, maybe a coil issue.

when you turn the key it sends power to the starter. than as it cranks the power is split by the computer to the coilpacks.

so start at your starter... than move on to your coil wiring. just move out wards checking things one by one.

eventually you should be getting it to crank at the very least. after that if it cranks and acts strange it
may be a firing order problem or a timing issue with your chain being off tdc.

that why without a starter you can compression start your car. the movement does the starters work
and than after that the coils can fire moving the crank and powering your car.

and i think this question may have been better answered outside of FI.

so wait.....when you try to start it with the key what does it do?

Walter_TRD_21

Everything in the cluster turns on, radio doesn't turn on, P/W won't work... it's alittle wierd. I've triple check wiring. It's if like a programming or something becuase if the P/W wont go down and they were working just prefectly..

test battery and starter, see if the car is getting spark, when you turn the key do you hear the fuel pump?

guys hes saying when he turns his key the starter isnt working so i would start with testing that, its simple supply a power source directly to it to see if itll turn...

Manti

Well when I turn the key there is no battery light amd.the radios not working. It was this morning and hen I come back from work like 10 hours later it started with no problems.

Just outta curiosity, how long was ur car down? Did u have the battery dosconnected for quite some time? Also, check on the dash when u turn ur key and try to start it, does the lil key start to blink? If it does than its an issue where ur key lost program. Its not likely thats it but ive seen it happen before.

check your ground from battery to chassis and down to the transmission .. i would almost bit the motor isnt grounded

First time it happened the car was down for 2 days and I didn't do anything with it and it started and yesterday I disconnected the battery for like 2 min thinking that it would help but it didn't. Then I connected back the battery and went to work. Came back like 10-11 hours later and it started right away
