Its turbo.
Has t70, 560cc injectors, g70 maf.
Recently Replaced The head gasket.
TDC everything.
ka24de cranks but it wont turn on.
Gets fuel and spark.
Turned on for like 2 secs and just shut off.
Everything is connected.
When Im cranking it sounds like it wants to start but then it just keeps on cranking.

Any Idea's of What Can It Be?

Should I post up a vid to show you guys?

Same thing happened to my KA24D3 this week. Starter kicks it over but doesnt kick the engine on. Think it might be my fuel pump going out or its not getting fuel on crank. Going to check that and spark plugs / dizzy tomorrow morning .

But in your case did you check the distributor and spark plugs I would make sure your fuel injectors are not clogged?

Also check all fuses and make sure their is a good ground wire from starter to battery). .

lmao are you serious i have the same problem

KA24 will crank all day and has fuel but won't start... ive got 30psi at the rail and I can smell fuel on the plugs but it wont start

has power to the dist. but won't fire. im thinking it's the coil so im going to swap the dist. to an s13

Fixed my problem!


Tested power wire on fuel pump harness (black and yellow ) and it had a short that was causing issues with the relay. Now my fuel pump primes and turns over fine. 2 Days later of troubleshooting!

put it back to tdc, pull the dizzy, make sure that is right, if it still doesn't start ive found that if you knock it back 1 tooth retarded it will fire, and 20* BTDC will be right in the middle give or take a few mm. What kind of tune are you running BTW It seems like either a timing issue a tune issue or the worst case is a cylinder leakage, ive had the same issue of having fuel, spark, and a tune and i noticed when i replaced my HG i it wasn't completely flat and caused it to leak compression which wouldn't allow the car to start.?
