z18et +mtx8 = no idea HELP.....long

[Andrew Peters]

hi all, after getting the car running again on the d4 and then deciding to go for a mtx8 fuel and ign, i cant get it to go again.? with the d4, the main coil was firing to the exhaust side?? heres the deal wired the comp up, turned the key, started 1st go but ran really rough. so then i went about setting the computer up a bit better like setting the tps, trimming the fuel for the injectors... tried again and no go, ok reset everthing, still nothing. basically since then fiddleing with a few thing i got it started again by 1/2ing the plug gap, now it would idle but really rough again. pulling all plugs out they all fire as they are supposed to. back in and on with the timing light, no signal, so out again with the plug #1 and it fires but wont give a flash on the timing light. checking all the leads the timing light only flashes on #2 and #3????? but all leads give a spark? then for no real reason it wont start again? so it would seem the spark is weak so i tried, new coils/dizzy cap/ leads and same deal. ive tried another mtx8 with the exact same setup and its dizzy and same deal, wouldnt start. ill try my comp/dizzy on the other car to rule them out as faulty, but i highly doubt thats the case all connections have been soldered so i dont really think its a loose wire 1 wierd thing is when going to put the other dizzy in the plates where they butt were backwards (1 side is shorter than the other) 1 thought i had was the cam is 180deg out, hence coil #1 firing the exhaust with the d4 and the plates backward?????   im so out of ideas right now anything would be very muchly appreciated. sorry for the long message but im gonna burn it soon if nothing turns up. cheers andrew --membersozdat------------------------------------------------------- OZDAT Mailing List Please Note:- Send (un)subscribe requests to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Send submissions to [EMAIL PROTECTED] No unauthorised redistribution of this email http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/index.htm http://www.ozdat.com/ozdatonline/listindex.html http://www.mail-archive.com/membersozdat@datascribe.com.au/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------
