So. I tore the engine down. New HG, New head studs, new gaskets everywhere.

Now, its fully assembled, and I've got 2 clips that dont go anywhere, I dont remember disconnecting them. They look like FI clips, but all of those are plugged in. One is blue. One is red.

And idea's?

Also, the car turns over and it pops, but it doesnt fire up.


I think the timings off.

Check the EFI fuse. If that's good, make sure you're getting fuel or see if you can hear your fuel pump coming on. I don't know anything about the plugs because I don't have a 7m. Hopefully some of the smart people will be on here and give you some good places to start.

Check to make sure everything is lined up, crank, cam gears, #1 piston on TDC, and rotor pointing at #1 plug wire. Then put a timing light on it with the jumper wire to set the timing.

the blue one is probaly a vsv but i don't remember any red ones when i wired mine back up. as for the starting problem are you sure you got spark if so then check the timing and fuel system relays/fuses.

Fuel system is good. Got spark. Cams are lines up right when its at tdc.

The Red plugs go to a Vacuum switch? ( I dont know what its called )
