Little background:
Bought the truck in April of this year with a bad smoking problem. Basically a cloud of blow-by when I accelerated.
In june I had the motor rebuilt with all new parts, pistons, block cleaned up, heads cleaned, new valve springs, seals, the whole nine.
In august the motor was back in the truck and I was waiting on the current shop to finish Trans cooler install and re-assemble the front metal.
Now I know its late in the year, BUT, the shop has finally tried to get the truck rolling again.
They put a fresh battery, and some gas into her but she turns over to start but does not pop, start, rumble nothing. They said they could turn the key all day but it does nothing.
Done so far:
new gas, new starter, new plugs, new battery, new fluids with no leaks,
checked all connections
checked fuel pump, its working fine and delivers 40psi. (we turned it down from 60psi)
checked fuel injectors they are "pulsing" fine and deliver fuel
Checked spark and it is weaker than i remember but it is there.
Checked Distributor to make sure its correct and working, its fine.
Checked plug wires and they are fine
My only concern is the vehicle does have an older Ostrich emulator in the glove box. It was working great before the truck was taken apart but we do not have a computer with the necessary software to actually use the Ostrich now.
Would it have reset itself after some time with no power to the unit? Would that prevent the truck from starting?
Any other things I could check or any other ideas on why it does not start?
A well known and very informed shop and myself are stuck on what it could be.:rant:
