started rebuilt motor for the first time today... sort of

[gippy87]

Originally it wouldnt start at all then i realized the fuel lines were reversed. i forgot to take notes on which was which before i pulled the engine bay completely apart for paint. So i put them back to normal and the car started up for liek 3 seconds then died and it still keeps sounding like it wants to start but it just wont. im runnning a power fc, 740cc injectors, hks step 2's, z32 maf. I must have spark and fuel otherwise it wouldnt run at all so why isnt it starting??

timing is off?

[gippy87]

the power fc reads 3degrees which obviously isn't where It needs to be but I was under the impression you need to get the motor started then set timing. I know the cams and everything where put in correctly with all marks lining up

Check your CAS. I'm 90% sure it's either off or unplugged.

^^agree 3 degree's, that dont sound right at all, it should be at 15 degree's advanced!

Go to FRSPORTS.com and they have a guide on how to set the timing. Follow that. For the most part, if you do it right, you wouldnt have to use a timing gun to set the timing. It should be close to dead on 15 degrees.
