    Resolved Cranks but still doesn’t start. Ran through the checklist and still doesn’t start.

    I’ve built a few of these in the past and this problem has got me wondering if I set the cam in the right spot when I put the timing chain on. I’m also wondering about the firing order and that maybe someone swapped this to a non-HO cam at some point. (It sure acts like it.) Believe me, I’m...

    I did try that. Won’t start, even with starting fluid.

    I don’t understand what you’re suggesting. The harness that I’m using is a brand new harness made for engine swapping the 5.0 Ford into any chassis. All I need to provide is 12v switched, 12v constant, 12v run and grounds. Those all exist for the harness, as it sits. There is nothing beyond that...

    SOLD 89-93 5.0 ProM 75mm MAF calibrated for 30# injectors. New in box.

    Bought for a project and decided to go a different route. Works with 89-93 mass air cars. No injectors included. $175, shipped. Will consider trade for wideband set up.Dublin, Ohio.

    That’s completely untrue. It’s an A9L from an 89-93 Foxbody. The harness is an aftermarket one from Painless. It looks like it belongs there, doesn’t it?

    The wiring looks a bit of a mess here but, this is what I’m working on. And this is the car it’s in.

    No. No Code 11. The EGR stuff is not installed and the port on the manifold is blocked. I will never have a Code 11, unfortunately. The last time I pulled codes, it was on a sub-50 degree day and I got: 21, 22, 31, 67, 81, 82, 85 and 84. The 21 and 22 are sensors out of range because of the...

    Lol. I'm sorry. That was frustration talking. I have literally moved the distributor all over the place. I agree. Damn EEC-IV system. The car was driving with the 2.3T in February. The gas is still really good. (Sh*t's got some KICK!) I did the noid test on the 5 injectors I could reach without...

    Well, I can see why guys put carburetors on these engines.

    I haven't done that. Maybe 5-10 seconds at a time 2-3 times and then leave it for a day or two until I can try the next thing. I pulled the plugs when I did the compression check. They're fine.

    I also tried it with the rotor one tooth counter clockwise. No good.

    Not yet. Won’t start. Didn’t really see the point until it does. I have moved the distributor all through its range with very little change.

    So you think it's a tooth off then? I watched a couple of videos (since it's been a long time since I installed a distributor) and they all said it should point at the bolt on the right. I have to swap the TFI anyway. I'll try moving it around a little bit. Thanks for the heads-up! Edit for...

    #1 cylinder TDC on the compression stroke. The rotor lines up with #1 contact on cap. I’m going to change the TFI tomorrow. And double check the grounds. (Again.).

    Oh. Ok. Sorry. I saw that others have posted there. Seems that interest is lost in the original thread. No one responding in a few days. I checked the FP on that Shrader valve. I just don’t like leaving fuel test equipment connected any longer than necessary.

    I have a good one for you. After going through the “Cranks but no start” checklist, this is my result: —Has nice bright spark that you can see in direct sunlight. —Can hear the fuel pump priming for 2-4 seconds. —When distributor is twisted in its hole, you can hear the fuel pump run again...

    Here it is, trying to start. It does have a nice, bright spark that can easily be seen in direct sunlight. The next step in the process is to spray some ether in it. Edit: Will NOT start on ether...

    Not tedious at all. I have them in my notes on my phone. Lol. This was done on a sub-50 degree day and the 21 and 24 are new (likely) because of that. The 31 is “new” because I unplugged the EGR eliminator that I had bought and put in there, to see if it made any difference. (It didn’t.) 21–ECT...

    Cranks OK, but No Start Checklist for Fuel Injected Mustangs

    Where is the "Surging Idle Checklist"? I have one that turns over and fires but just won't start. I think that checklist might cover some ground that this one doesn't.
