[TNstanggurl]

Ok,we just finished the pi swap with the comp 270's.When we took it out tonight we got on it (floored)alot and the car felt the same.There was no extra power.Now it wont start.Please help!!!!

 

[tomustang]

hmm. did you tighten the fuse box bolt for the positive end under the hood?

where in TN are you? if you are close to me i can swing over & see if i can lend a hand.

but the first place i'd look would be the cam timing. if it's off just one tooth, it can cause some problems

I suggest a tune is needed. Also, please tell me you have gears with those cams?? They have a bit of duration and will require you shifting much higher than with the stock cams. You will need 4.10 or higher.

Hey,it should start up even without being tuned though right?I mean when we first started it when we got done it started right up,but when we got back it just wouldnt start for nothing...i mean it sounds like its trying.Do you think it could have jumped time?O and i dont have gears yet but next week i am planning on getting some and getting them put in

If you think it has jumped a tooth, do not try and start it. You may put a valve into a piston. Take off the timing cover and the cam covers and check the timing. If that is correct, make sure you are getting fuel and you have all the wires hooked up from your coil packs going to the right plugs.

Yes, the car should start and run without a tune.

you should definatly feel the power even untuned. its still a load of a difference.

did ur b/f turn the crank over 2 times before putting it back together?

as long as he marked the chains and lined them up on the marks correctly then u should be fine...as long as he set the tensioners correctly.

Tensioners

Hey, what do you mean as far as setting the tensioners correctly?

 

[mogs01gt]

If the tensionsers are not pressing fully onto the chains, then there will be slack on that side of the chain. If there is slack, it may move off a tooth.

think we found out the problem

We found out that that the iat sensor wasnt hooked up,do you guys ythink that could be the reason why its not startig or could it still be something worse?

 

[BanginStang97GT]

stang976 whats size injectors is the meter calib. for?

 

[TNstanggurl]

car is runnin,but isnt much faster at all!!

Well we found out that the iat sensor wasnt plugged up,so we plugged it in and it started up.It takes about 3 or 4 cranks to start it up though.It still doesnt feel much faster at all.It feels like it has maybe 10 more horsepower,if even that.I dont know what the problem is.Do you guys think it could still be out of time by a little bit?My boyfreind is gonna take it to his buddies shop so he can check it out and give it a good tune..Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!

[tomustang]

how did your b/f time the cams?

 

[TNstanggurl]

pi swap

Hey,he said he timed the cams exactly the way the haynes manual said do it.He lined up the bright links on the timing chain and....well i kinda got lost after that.Too much to explain.
