Re: 95 Saturn SC2 5 speed - ENGINE REMOVAL
OK, well we are getting there slowly. I got the crank pully off with a cheater bar and my son holding the tire iron jambed in there so it could not turn. We got the donar engine back in the car and everything hooked up. All is done except NOW IT WON'T START!!! We were both so dissapointed last night. We worked hard on it all day so we could get it going and it cranks but will not fire up. Here is what I have checked. (remember it was late and we were tired) I'll do some more checking tonight but it does have fire on every cylinder....it does have fuel pressure at the schreader valve. It however NEVER hits not even one time. I expected to find it did not have fire but it does. I don't really know how to tell if the injectors are pulsing. I did some reading and will do more as time permits here at work. I'll try to get a stethascope from my dad tonight and see if I can hear them pulsing. I don't know what else it could be. If you have fire and gas what's left. The car ran when we started this.(the orginal but needed a valve job) The guy said the engine ran fine when he took it out of his wrecked car. Was very nice and seems honest. I did do a mmo soak on it before we put it in the car and the plugs are very oily but what are the chances that all 4 plugs would be completly fouled out so bad that it would not even try to hit? I'm going to pick up new plugs for it on the way home tonight anyway we I can rule that out. I have a complete engine that ran in the shed with all sensors and wires on it but if both of them ran then I don't know it could be. I also used the coil paks, wires etc off the orginial engine. Not that it matters since it IS fireing. OMG>..sorry for this long post.
My son has named it "Sally" the Saturn. He was not very happy with Sally last night when she would not start! haha
