Ok so my fc won't start, i tried deflooding it but nothing, it turns over but will not start

Whoa whoa whoa, slow down, too many details!



Have you tested for spark? Are you getting fuel pressure?

L1lflip 06-28-2009 01:44 AM

yea i have spark, i have fuel pressure

j9fd3s 06-29-2009 05:00 PM

how are you deflooding it?



i like to unplug the circuit opening relay under the dash, as it only turns off the fuel pump, AND you dont have to get up.

L1lflip 06-30-2009 02:55 PM

i take out the EGI fuse crank the car or put oil in the lower plugs

idk if it happens whenever you blow your water jacket seals or not but check under your car by the cat and see if you have coolant leaking form there if you do you have to rebuild

L1lflip 07-03-2009 10:47 AM

nope its not leaking

RicerJ 07-06-2009 12:56 AM

do you go through coolant fast?

L1lflip 07-08-2009 07:51 PM

nope

RicerJ 07-09-2009 02:41 AM

are you sure you have spark ? how did you check also did you check to see if the coils are within spec of what they should be

L1lflip 07-11-2009 03:52 PM

i tested it on the shock tower, im replacing the coils right now

RicerJ 07-11-2009 06:01 PM

someone i know volunteered to hold them when i cranked

L1lflip 07-11-2009 06:28 PM

ok i changed the coils and it started but then it dies i started it again and was holding the idle at 2k but it just dies, and it sounds like a lawn mower, is it a blown rotor?

RicerJ 07-12-2009 01:23 AM

does it smoke if so more then it did before?

L1lflip 07-12-2009 04:09 PM

nope

RicerJ 07-13-2009 01:25 AM

did you mess with the timing at all?

L1lflip 07-13-2009 01:45 PM

nope didn't even touch it

L1lflip 07-13-2009 09:31 PM

ok so i started my car today and held the idle at 4k and it started smoking alot and it had a sweet smell to it what is it?

RicerJ 07-14-2009 03:17 AM

that would be your engine burning coolant which could mean you blew a coolant seal somehow and the cure for that is a rebuild
