I know!! Gotta take my pops to the airport tomorrow to fly back to work, and warranty my battery for a new one since the one I bought won't hold a charge anymore.. Than its fiddling like no tomorrow til she starts so I can get the heep out tonight for some fun hopefully

 

Took the battery in to have it load tested, and well I left with a new battery. Went ahead and did a lil trick to make sure the timing chain is good and the cps tested good aswell. I know I've got spark, thus testing it is irrelevant but did it anyway to ease my mind. So now it's just a matter of dialing in the timing on the dizzy. Think it's just a tad to late on the spark, but close enough to where it wants to try and fire now. So time to make some adjustments and get this thing running

 

I'm ready with that video clip as soon as you got it running.

 

Me too haha... I indexed it today following the guides online, and it's still just sputtering like it wants to start but won't roll over just yet. But bit by bit it's getting closer. Cps tested good, and I warrantied my battery today. So I'll have to start testing the spark and camshaft positioning sensor to make sure they are all within spec even though they are new.

 

Got around to reindexing the distributor to within spec. It's sputtering a bit more, but won't quite roll over. Cyl 1 is was set to TDC with the rotor positioned the 3cm from the rubber insert for the camshaft sensor. at the point I think it's the weak spark that isn't properly igniting the fuel and causing it to sputter, but not start. Gonna grab some new batteries for the good ol multimeter and get to testing and find what's causing my weak spark..

 

Motor might be a lil to wet with fuel, which is another reason it may not be starting. Gonna have to let the plugs dry out for a few days while I test the ignition system. Did try and crank it today however, and it ran for about a second before it cut out. So it's trying, just might be a lil rich on fuel currently.

 

Hey I just noticed this XJ on Facebook, did you really paint the windows?

 

Get the damn thing runing !!!!








More than 10 pages of the crap and it doesnt start or drive

 

Don't bring up getting it running. He will block you on fb like a puss

 

Lol no haha

 

Ahhh don't be mad! Sorry I deal with enough already, don't need anymore. If it bother you, you're welcome to leave.

 

Waiting on it to dry out. Ran the other day for a bit, but it's giving it too much fuel and it killed it

 

Liar

 

Mad? You're the chicken **** that blocked me because I made fun of your Windows and light bars.
