Newly turbo'd KA wont start HELP!!!! w/ Vid
 

I just installed my turbo on my KA and I go to start it and the engine wont start. It cranks for a little bit then seems to die out and then I hear a small pop and the RPM needle jumps. I charged the battery and used a battery from my other car and the same thing happens. Heres a video of it:

240sx Starter problem - YouTube

***PROBLEM WAS A BAD ECU

sounds like the battery is dead.

Check the grounds and evrything to the starter , i would say it is starter related if it was the battery it would click multiple times. When turbo charging that car you didnt have to do anythig that would make it not start so i guess the starter might be shot.

Yeah well as I stated in the op I used two batteries, one which is in my other car and works perfectly fine

Make sure you have the dizzy stabbed right. Even if you think it is, it probably isn't. Had to stab mine several times.

i dont think thats starter. as stated check grounds when i swapped in a new ka setup exactly the same as when my car worked it wouldnt start either. I had to take off all my grounds sand em down again on the chassis and eyelet off the wire to get it to fire up.

Where are all the grounds located?

put the sun visor down :squintd:

Ur so helpful!

just saw the video link:rofl: before i read this comment. after i saw the link i was cracking up at work

Just out of curiousity did you remember to plug the ign coil back up?

check all of your wiring. Sounds like your not getting enough power to the starter.

Yes we got it to crank without dying cause it was being weird when we used jumper cables. Took off the cold side intercooler piping and hooked up the battery directly and it would crank fine. My friend and I checked to see if there was electricity going to the spark plug and there wasnt. We think its a bad coil so I'm picking one up on friday and cranking that bish up! That little thing is like $180 for oem and $80 for another brand, damn!

Use msd blaster cheaper than both

What do you mean?

Msd blaster coil thats what im using, well that and I did the ignition rewire. You can find that on kat.org there's guys on that setup running 500hp
