HELP!!!! Stupid sr20

[nandom]

hey guys i was wondering for some and advise, and yes ive done my research. I have a redtop s13 sr20 going into a s14. i have an t28 turbo a greddy sr20 oil new upper and lower wiring harness from wiring specialites, it is the conversion from from s13 to s14, and much more.

i finally got my engine in two nights ago and had everything grounded correctly and pluged in, except a knock sensor, but that shouldnt have anything to do with not starting. i turned the key and its trying to turn over and it wont my exhaust pops like it wants to but just doesn't want to start. i do have spark, took out a coil pack to test, and i am getting enough fuel into it. doubled checked the grounds and everything seems to be in order but just doesnt wan to start. i do have a viper alarm in it, but i dont think that should cause it not to start cuz if it was on it wouldnt even crank right?? so if you have any advise or input i would greatly appreciate it.

knock sensor won't prevent it from starting

my guess is timing. look at the FSM and make sure your CAS is lined up correctly.

I'm 99% sure it's the timing trust me on that one I just went through the same thing over the last couple weeks. A big thing is when you are aligning the CAS if it's set on the correct tooth and lined up to the dot it should be right in the middle of the 2 slotted parts to adjust it not all the way to one side. If it's lined up with the dot and in the middle of the slots your CAS is timed correctly.

Most of the time an old CAS won't have those markings on it. Just play around with it, look up the timing FAQ on Jim wolf technology's website or other forum posts to see where the rivet is for timing. There is a rivet going thru it near the left side (front of motor) when it's inserted correctly.

Make sure the engine is at TDC before you work on the timing!

[96Turbo]

those marks are drilled into the metal...not sure why an old CAS wouldn't have them anymore

could it also have anything to do with going from auto to manual?? what bout sensors needing for it to start???

[nandom]

hahaha thanx for that diagram i appreciate that nice guy

engines are not stupid. YOU are stupid. jk. could be fuel related as well, if not one of these other problems.

[nandom]

haha i guess i am stupid.... naw i know for a fact its not fuel i checked every aspect of fuel

auto to manual swap you need to jump out the park relay or whatever it is.

^ agree with what he said...

Check and make sure you have s14 temp sensor there are two sensors and both need to be for the s14 but are probably still s13 ones switch em out And try that
