troubleshooting help!!!!!
 
i have a 1990 gsx... ok i have rebuild the motor... when i first time is started it... i had to pump the gas peddel but it started... a big puff came from the back passenger side of the engine... i have replaced the ground cables thinkin thats what fried... well it still wont start!! i have replaced the sp wires, compression sits over 90psi, i have replaced the injector plugs!! Still nothing... tested the fuel pump (works)... new ngk's (checked gap too)... any ideas

Compression should be in the 150psi range not 90 psi.

ok i understand if the compression should be 150psi (when engine has ran) but the engine has never started... and always been taught that all you need i 90 psi (actually psi on car is 115 to 120 psi) until the rings get seated... then compression goes up correct?

Are you getting spark and fuel?

rsanty2000 03-13-2010 04:48 PM

spark... yes

Are all the timing marks lined up right?

rsanty2000 03-13-2010 07:37 PM

yes and 10 degrees

Well if your doing everything correctly the car should be running. How did you check for fuel?

TheEngineer 03-13-2010 07:59 PM

any upgrades. All i can think of is something either on the cold start or you have low fuel pressure. Something may not be plugged in. It could be a bunch of things though
