Hi All,

I had a broken timing chain guide, opened her up (540 1994) - timing chain covers and lower sump cover. Now fixed .....

Have put everything back together, set the camshafts with the timing blocks and locked in TDC, etc. Did everything I thought I was supposed to do, put all the bolts back in their places, no spares left afterwards .......

and the sucker sounds like it wants to start but just won't.

I have tested the following:
1. Ignition coils;
2. Crankshaft position sensor;
3. Main relay;
4. Engine coolant temp sensor;
5. Intake air temp sensor;
6. Throttle position sensor;
7. Air flow sensor;
8. Fuel Injectors; and
9. Idle speed control valve.

Don't have oxygen sensors.

When I just keep winding the starter she seems to build up momentum like she's going to start but then there'll be a little blast and all the zing is gone, back to just being turned over with the starter.

I'm pulling my hair out here. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I searched the forum but am bit lost for keywords other than "starting" "not starting", etc.

Regards
Richard
