View Full Version : KA-T wont start! WTF?

I know I have the timing set right on it, but somehow it cranks but it wont start. When I checked the spark plugs they were full of raw fuel. The funny thing is that it started the day before, but an idiot of a friend was like "hey let's set base timing" and he unplugged my TPS before I could shut down the car. Obviously the engine died, and since then(yesterday) I have not gotten it to start.
Many Thanks in advance :bow:

unplugging tps before turning off your car shouldnt have been the problem unless you messed with the distributor. did u check to see if u have spark also? get a spark plug and connect it to the #1 wire and point it at the chassis to see if theres spark coming out

OK also check all the Vacum Lines,If that dont work goto www.ka-t.org im not being rude just those guy there deal mainly with the KA-T and can get you up 10 times fater IMO.It might be good as well to reset the ECU if you have not already done that and see if that clears out the problem.It might have a code thrown.

Yeah the car's got plenty of spark. So how do you go about reseting the ECU?
:duh:

OK on the passenger kick panel is where the ecu is.Go there and remove it iirc get a 10mm and a extension.There is a screw there and you have to turn it clockwise or counter clockwise wait and then turn it back a code will falsh on the dash oh have the car on the acc pos not fully on.The do this again and it should reset best to have a FSM and they can give you the codes seems like Freshalloy and Zilvia have decided the archives of info was no longer needed where it gave step by step on it.

Ok I checke the ECU, it's giving me code 55, which means there's nothing wrong. Now I replaced my injectors, MAF and ECU with all stock items, and nothing yet. My question now is how do I check if the TPS is good? In case that it's bad , is it possible that it's causing this to happen?
Thanks :loco:

need more info... what exactly were you guys doing that day?
unplugging the tps should not cause the car to shut off.
you say you're sure you have the timing set right... how are you sure? even if you line up cylinder #1 at tdc and put in the distributor correctly, it still takes a little playing with the dist to get the car to start.
