ok. 98 gt. 03 mountainer motor. We swaped the front cover, cam covers and oil pan. All sensors are from the 98. ballancer is from the 03. I used my coil pack set up as long as the 98's return style fuel system. We bled the air out of the fuel rails, so it has fuel.. It back fired on us as we were trying to crank. SO that tells me it has some sort of spark.
Now someone mentioned to me last night that I should of transfered the crank sensor sprocket.... we did not do that. We used the 03 set up with a 98 sensor. Would that cause me issues. I don't want to pull the front cover again just to find out they are the same.
The motor came out of a running car and they did a comp check before it was pulled. Everythign was 150 psi and above.
I am lost here. My starter isn't even cranking right. This is an aluminum block, so could I have issues with my grounds now as they alum may not ground as good?
All the wires on the battery were getting hot while cranking. There was a bit of smoke coming off the back of the motor. That tells me either the exhaust had oil on it, very possible, or some other wiring got hot.
I am lost. I trouble shot it last night for a bit. Just no clue whats going on or why it won't fire. It tried a few times, but sounded as if the timing were way off....... Now the car had a timing adjuster on it before, but we put the 03 ballancer on to get away from that. Should I try to put that back on?
