Installing Rod Bearings/Main Bearings

[Big Bronze Rim]

yeah the stud...i accidently moved it and it started sparking everywhere ...could that blow something?

Yeah, its quite possible that could blow something. Shorting stuff to ground is never good for electronics, but maybe you got lucky.

eh im about to give up

[benefitx]

OK im getting no power to the one that plugs in...checked with a voltometer

[benefitx]

bump........

[benefitx]

i know someone has had this problem before...if i dont get it fixed soon i might have to take it to a shop which i dont want to do and spend alot of money to find that some stupid thing that i overlooked...any help?

[benefitx]

ok i had my brother listen while i tried to start it to see where the clicking was coming from...

it is coming from some blue relay on the passenger side compartment by the headlight area...this is a pic of it







if you put your hand on it...you can feel it clicking

[rim_bender]

relays click man, thats what they do

thats just the relay turning on/off, if its clicking that means its working

its not your problem


and, you need to test the voltage on the starter wire WHILE you are trying to start the car, it only gets power when you turn the key all the way. And im talking about the small gauge wire that clips on, not the fat wire that bolts to the stud.

well ok...i mean i tried to test it but i mean i have only a old school voltometer thing it has a black needle and a red needle...where do i put them?

[benefitx]

bump

length.

[Nikeboy355]

Put the black needle on any ground and touch the red needle on that smaller wire... When you turn the key to the "start" position, you should see voltage...

[benefitx]

i did that...i got nothing

[Big Bronze Rim]

I would then break out the start schematic from the FSM and back trace the start signal and figure out why there is no power.

[lazierhobo]

first check if you getting power to the starter relay

its all about working backwards. you now know you dont have power to the starter. so look at where the power should be coming from.

[benefitx]

ok i think ive narrowed it down to these 2 wires that come from the main WIRING harness that bolt into the intake manifold and connect with 2 other wires...and those 2 other wires are conjunctioned into a black box that leads into the starter plug...

thic picture can explain it

You need to work your way backwards using the FSM on the start circuit

[benefitx]

if you read the whole thread you would know that i have already completed the rebuild...working on trying to get it started because the starter is getting no power.

Ahahahh! He was saying use the FSM to trace back the start circuit. LoL...

no i was talking to the guy who was giving me advice on how to take the engine apart , maybe he deleted his post.

[benefitx]

ok so i just put the engine back in and started it up....now i have some ticking coming from the head...definetly not rod knock....

im thinking Maybe the HLA's got air in them or something...it doesnt progress that much with the rev's....havent drivin the car yet(driveshaft not in)

[benefitx]

if its rod knock again im burning my car

[benefitx]

and its having trouble starting up....

[benefitx]

ok so i just started cranking it , and it seems like the starter is trying to crank the motor....then i see smoke coming from the starter area...wtf is going on

[DJ_Sunrise]

Take the starter to get tested... Wierd problem. Wheres john griff when you need him? Check that the pos battery is running to the pos on the starter with no corrosion..
