am i doing something wrong?

[realracersuseapc]

ok i just got some injectors today and after i installed them i tried to start the car. the thing is, it wont start. it cranks, but dusnt turn over. when i took the injectors out to see what the problem might be, it didnt seem like any fuel was going to the injectors, but when i loosened the hose going to the fuel rail, there was fuel. also its been sitting in my driveway for a few weeks with the fuel lines disconnected and no fuel line pressure if that matters. this is on a ka24e.
i am pretty much stumped, can any1 help?:confused:

Check a vaccum hose. Look around and see if you see and gas or oil spots anywhere. Thats one way to know if you have a hose loose. I did the same thing on my engine a few months back. I had oil squirting everywhere.

check the plugs to see if they are wet if they are then the prob is ignition related did you change anything else in the car when you changed the injectors and what injectors did you change to

Try turning your key to the 'on' position for 20 seconds. Do this about 3 times. Make sure your fuel pump fuse is in and everything is connected. Try starting your car then, and see what happens.

...not saying your advice it bad...I'm just curious what the purpose of this is.

well, if the motor doesn't start, it could be the seals on the injectors aren't good, or the injectors themselves are stuck wide open. this would flood the engine preventing it from starting.

how about this.

check your crank angle sensor.

don't know where that is? ok, i'll help you out.

you know where your spark plug wires go? it goes to your cap and rotor.

do you know what your rotor inside your cap is connected to? the crank angle sensor.

that entire thing is held to the front timing chain cover by two bolts.

MARK with white out or something the position of the two bolts vs the sliding portion of the base to the front cover. this is so you don't alter your ignition timing.

now unbolt the thing and take the entire assy out.

there should be a gear at the end of it.

with your keys in the ignition and put to the ON position, not the ACC position, twirl the rotor inside your hands.

do you hear a clicking?

if you don't, your CAS is messed up. replace it or check the wiring to it.

To re-introduce fuel to the system.

When he said this: also its been sitting in my driveway for a few weeks with the fuel lines disconnected and no fuel line pressure if that matters,
It made me think that there is no fuel available to the injectors. When you turn your key to the 'on' position, you're turning on your fuel pump, so it can build pressure for you to be able to start your car. This is just making the pump work enough to pump enough fuel to the injectors to eliminate that possibilty.
