Yea all thats plugged in and ready to rock, without that ccrm i wouldnt get fuel coming to the rails. But after a few days of just turning over its not even trying to fire up. I tested and see spark at the plug wire going into the plug, but plug shows no signs of heat.Listen for the fuel pump running for abot 3 seconds as soon as you turn the key on. If not running check the wiring.
If it is running, measure the fuel pressure.
Did you plug the control box mounted on the support in back of your radiator back in? This has the fuel pump relay inside.
Did you accidentally trip the impact switch in the trunk which will shut the pump off? If so, reset it.
I also did a 351 swap. Should not be a problem as long as you connect everything back up.
I would check these out before looking for power at the injectors.
From my understanding the fire orders are the same. Im running a trick flow stage one cam.Check the pressure at the rails. You can have fuel at the rails but not enough pressure to start and run.
Any chance you mixed up the gas feed and return lines?
You sure the distributor is set up right, not 180 degrees out? Make sure you are at the top iof the compression stroke for number one cylinder and the rotor lines up with the #1 tower on the cap.
Is the 351 cam firing order the same as the 302 cam? My recollection from many years ago is the 351W can run on a different firing order depending on the cam which is installed. You would have to switch the injector wiring to fix this if different.
I want to say it was dry, but to be honest i didnt pay attention, when i go back on days off ill check that 1st thing. I do remember not seeing a change with brand new plugs.If you crank it for a while and pull a plug, is it wet or dry?
No wouldnt try with ether. but again has spark to the plugs.#1 make sure the distributor is right, #1 piston at TDC and the pointer is at 0* on the balancer, rotor at #1 plug wire on distributor cap.
#2 the firing order on a 351 windsor is the same as the 5.0 HO engine
1-3-7-2-6-5-4-8
Did it fire using starting fluid? Can't remember.
If you spray'd it and you are getting spark it should at least try to start.No wouldnt try with ether. but again has spark to the plugs.
Yes fuel pump is on, rails have fuel, compression on #1 read 115, not the greatest but dead either. The firing order should be the same as the original 5.0ho that was in the car.If you spray'd it and you are getting spark it should at least try to start.
Back to basics:
Check firing order
Distributor is set right and not 180* out
Compression,
Fuel pump primes.
only using the the TF manifold, factory e7 heads. compression on #1 all ive tested so far read 115, not great, but not dead ether, all vaccum lines that im running are connected, no egr, no smog pump, the ports on the back of the heads have block off plates. And yes valve lash was set but with the lifters being soaked before hand. Ill run compression on the rest of the cylinders on monday when im off of work.I was also going to suggest compression. How did you set the rocker arm to valve preload?
I set my "preload" to 1/2 turn of the bolt/nut as soon as the arm contacts the valve when the opposite arm on the cylinder has the valve compressed. You need to be careful you have not started to compress the lifter when you just touch it.
If you have fixed bolts instead of adjustable ones you need to put shims under the pedestal of the rocker arm to set this properly. Summit sells the shims.
I accidentally put to much grease on a lifter which must have gone inside through the oil port which caused some initial problems when I started mine. Found this out when I did a compression test and had zero compression on one cylinder. Had to back off the preload completely.
As someone else mentioned, try Ether in the throttle body to see if it starts to fire on one or more cylinders.
If it does, then look for fuel related problems.
It it does not, then look for compression, spark and timing problems.
Are you using the trick flow head and intake as well? Did you connector all the vacuum hoses or plug the fittings underneath the upper TF manifold? Check for other missing vaccum lines as well.
115#? That's not good at all.only using the the TF manifold, factory e7 heads. compression on #1 all ive tested so far read 115, not great, but not dead ether, all vaccum lines that im running are connected, no egr, no smog pump, the ports on the back of the heads have block off plates. And yes valve lash was set but with the lifters being soaked before hand. Ill run compression on the rest of the cylinders on monday when im off of work.
With starting fluid it didnt even try and start.
