Who's Eric? This guy just posted yesterday? Not to be disrespecful but I'm confused.

 

2.8----replaced starter,fuel pump,timing chain and distributor. crank it and it doesnt start although u hear a pff and the engine shakes alittle like something is igniting inside. im getting spark and i know the pump works. but this guy told me that that pff is a seventh fuel injector and i might not be getting power or ground to my other injectors.. the engine doesnt have much response from one side of the distributor turned to the other side.... im pulliong my hair out

 

[quote=bigals87z28;4702666]Sorry to say but Eric passed away back in 2002. He was a good friend. Miss that guy.

if you mean tht guy i said tht too... his last post was this month

 

My first guess would be the distributor is not set up right. Which would throw the timing off. Did you try turning the dist. when cranking the motor? Of course you need someone to help you.

 

yes i have. turned it from one side to the other while cranking it

 

[QUOTE=walkthelin3;4702707]Eric aka Xenodrgn passed away 8yrs ago. His last post was made by his parents to thank the crew here at the site he loved. Last post was 1-23-2003.

Did you ever remove your distributor?

 

must be a different person. name doesnt sound familiar. and yes.. the timing might be off.i guess i gt fiddle with it

 

But did ya pull the dist out of the engine at any time?
could be the timing chain stretched out, handfull of things.
I would pull the dist out, set to #1 to TDC, and then drop the dist. so that its firing on #1. From there, you can get a better idea of where you are.

 

timing chain was replaced not even a month ago. i have taken it out. its probably off alittle.. what socket size is the bolt on the crank pully?

 

Did you line up the dots on the cam and crank gear?

 

yes

 

well then I assume you pulled the dist out of the engine?
I would go ahead and make 100% sure you have #1 at TDC, drop the dist in correctly, and then start again.

 

Whats up Big Al. I saw you this summer at Ian's going away party when you were at my house. Just picked up an 88 GTA. Jersey FTMFW.

Leaving the F-body scene for a while though. My brother is taking my IROC and running a mildly built 350 vortec (cammed and roller rockers). He'll be getting it painted too! My dad is going to be rebuilding & running my big block in his Nova.
I'm probably going to buy a notch Fox body after the winter. I'm pretty set on it due to the difference in weight... built FORD tough using BUICK stuff is the game plan.

Just picked up a 86 Camaro project car. 83k V6. Good to see others representing the Bergen county.

Im looking for a welcome page to talk about my car but i cant find a page section for it.

 

Does anybody go to The Whiskey in Lyndhurst on the weekend?

 

I go weekly. Blue 84 Monte Carlo ss. Only one there can't miss it. Won a trophy 3 weeks back. That's where I found my 86 project camaro. Car has potential but over paid for what it is.

 

The boyfriend and I usually go to Whiskey - alternating between the 91 Z28, 89 IROC and the 86 - yes.... mustang vert. Love seeing the 3rd gens when they show up!

 

I will look for you guys the last weekend of July..

 

I'd bring my 3rd gen but waiting on a duel pump brake lines and fuel lines. Mechanic is waiting on the fuel pump. I'll still be showing up with the Monte till the camaro is straiten out and get it to the DMV for inspection the sticker still says 4/1999. Since the car has been sitting 13 yra before I bought it I'm sure it will need more things I know shocks are coming at some point
