30 monthes of down time = No Start
Hi Everyone. I tried all weekend to search For answers without posting... Here i am. POSTING..Damn it.
I bought the car ..Blew the motor 2 months later..
2.5 years have gone by. Lots of time & even more money later I have a dreeded no start issue.
I've spent long hours doing searches. to no fix.
The motor cranks.. No Start.. The boost gauge @ the dash goes to 1 bar. but the tach does not move. The coil has 12vs at both lugs. The car cranks pretty smooth & easy.
Parts replaced
Clutch= Spec stage 3 hybrid lightened PP. billit fly wheel scalloped
motor= used '86 90k motor 155psi across all cylinders
Harness= Stock'88 with lindsey injector,speed & reference replacement
boost control= Lindsey manual
Wastegate= Syncronic from Synapse engineering
tune up=Lindsey plugs,wires,cap,rotor,msd coil
vaclines=Lindsey silicon
motor sealed o-rings replaced everywhere
Powersteering removed for Manual
A/C delete
Cruise control delete
sparco steering wheel
Complete airbag system delete
interior swap from Brown to black
Brakes=Bigreds super blue fluid braided lines
Wheels=CCW Classics 17" 215s frot 275s rear
koni adjustables front & back
Timing belt , balance belt & related kit.
We'll that is the jist of whats been up. I bought the Sharkys speed sensor tool. Can you interchange the speed & reference sensors. It seems they are the same part number when ordering. Anyone local wanna give me a hand.. I'll buy gas & dinner.. More importantly I'll return the favor.
Whats the best source for replacement sensors. Is there sme place else on the car that i should be looking at.
Thanks, Vince..NOR CAL.

Well it would seem that I needed only to post here. the problem was tech. error. I had the speed & reference harness plugs reversed. I thought. well i've tried everything else. She's ALIVE !

Exactly what I was going to tell you to do, glad you got it figured out. Congrats on getting her running again! Now go out, drive her, and make those 2.5 years of work worth it!!!
