gte problem

[irocznissan]

i have a problem wit my gte. i just replaced the head gasket and its back togethe again and i went to start it and the battery was dead. i put a jump box on it and it cranked really slow. the starter is nfairly new and was replaced b4 the piston went. any advice.

i was thinkin when the hg and piston went and the motor was crankin fast it burned out the starter again. i just want some other opinions as to what could be wrong.... thanx

dont rull out the starter, like anything it can go bad when ever it feels, also is your timing correct? like an old v8 off timing can make it hard to start.

 

[irocznissan]

checked the timing more than once...but do you think it could be 180 off?

 

[LordLo]

jump boxes tend to charge VERY slow. Mine usually takes 10 hours to complete charge the battery at 10 amps.

But yeah if it's out of phase 180 degrees, it'll NEVER start. Maybe backfire or cough a few times, but that's about it.

also even a couple plug wires crossed, first time i cranked up mine, it had 3 wires crossed, man that was fawkin interesting, but yea 180 out will make for a fun time starting.

have the starter signal wire installed? Its very small and you probably had to remove it to replace the HG. I'd check it out..

 

[irocznissan]

yeah it was blue and black... the first time i forgot that....do anyone think it could be a ground stap thats loose or not on?

 

[MA717MGTE]

i think you need to go over each system 1 x 1 to verify all his hooked up, and ck the starter at a parts store, and re verify the timing is correct.

let us know how it is going.

ok will do that 2day after work...its really cold in jerz...lol

yes, line up the timing marksunder pully and cams the cams are straigt up.ok remove your cam position cencer and ckeck that you have a drill notch lining up with the pin.thats it just make shure it dosent advance a tooth or retard a tooth with then be off bu t will start.ok so you said new piston? did you hone or oil the sleave? if not remove spark plug and ad motor oil on the piston just a1/2 cap full. remember to double check the plug gap very im portant.

off topic DELL67 do you have any pics of your car?

 

[irocznissan]

i didnt take any good pics of the cars yet but will soon and will post them...my ex still has my digi. and dell67 yes i did all of that. the cam sensor only goes in one way. lol

correct but you still have to line it up correclty when placing into the head

 

[irocznissan]

yeah...but would that cause the car to crank slow?

 

[MA717MGTE]

i would have to hear it.. it is a little harder to TS wiht out hearing/seeing it, any way to post up a video?

If it's cranking slow, I'd say (in order of likeliness, IMO)

1. Not enough charge (what kind of bench charger? those are usually really slow and won't work to jump a car) Either let it charger overnight, try a new battery, or try actually jumping it with another car

2. Shot starter

3. Bad wiring (not delivering enough amps)

cool....i was along the same lines but dont really have time to check it out but this weekend ill make time. imma try and post a videoand smepics for u guys
