hello im replacing a couple thing on my 95 gsx(with a 99 block) water pump, timing belt ect ect. im also doing the cas while im in there because i have no spark or fuel and figured i might as well. anyways i read up on in and it should be right under the intake cam gear rite? wrong. mabey in just stupid but its not there. i dont have the lower timing belt cover off yet, but it wouldnt be down in there would it? could someone please inlighten me? a pic would be GREAT

If you still have a 95 head then your CAS is behind one of the cam sprockets. It is not visible untill you remove the sprocket (gear, whatever). This is the case only on 95-96 motors from what i know(correct me if im wrong). 90-94 the CAS is on the outside of the valve cover near the TB on the passenger side. I believe mitsu went back to this for the 97-99 4g63's.

CAS location of 90-94, 97-99 motor.

DOH!! i deff have that but i didnt know that was it. i was looking for something bigger like on the 1gs. well thats me prob right there. the sob is busted(probly when i took the cam gear off)anyways any more suggestions as to why my engines not getting fuel or spark, is it bossaple that the ecu is fried w/o any visable signs of it. btw thats a million for the help.

that happened to me once before. everything was workin but no fuel or spark. what happened was that my crank position sensor was busted all to shit. (they're a bitch to get out when broken in the block) but i got it out and replaced it everything was all good.

Why would you want more reasons when you now know what is wrong? I think you poeple like to have fucked up cars, because whenever its a cheap fix you still look for more problems.

Let me help. Your center diff is broken in 3 places. Your ECU has bollixed injector drivers. The AC fan is also no good. Time for a new rear end as well. Might as well do a 6 bolt swap while you are in there, since your motor is crankwalked. And dont forget to replace those bad suspension bushings. Fix all that, and replace that broken CAS you found, and there's a pretty good chance the car will run.




Fix the damn CAS! If that doesnt do it, THEN look for other possible problems. And for the record, it does in fact bolt into the head, but its irrelevant anyway. Breaking it when removing the cam gears is not uncommon for inexperienced DSMers. Good luck.
