Could rotating the engine backwards during the clutch install have unclocked it? Lol

 

Hmmm i would say no but hey everything is possible lol

 

Fixed the cam code, one pin was pushed down.

Its getting spark because it almost starts

I got fuel pressure, spark plugs are soaked in fuel

Unplugged maf sensor and it started for a second.

 

No codes are popping up except the old a.c. code which doesnt matter.

I fixed my ground which got loose for the start and whatever the other two things were. Im guessing what happened was i hit a bump, it shorted the ground for a split second (it was loose because the nut i got for it doesnt tighten well) and it popped the ignition fuse.

 

Interesting because this is what happened and i definitely had the code and might be why its been taking a while to start anyway. this happened at the top of 3rd gear. Only wierd thing is i am no longer seeing a code pop up for this, but it even mentions in the post that it doesnt always set the code off

Hmm give it a try

 

check the ground underneath the oil filter housing. The ones that go to one of the transmission bolts. should be quite a few grounds there. make sure none of them are broken

 

I have 3 grounds going right there and think thats what could have fd me, i tightened the bolt down more and I'll look into them more later

For now i ordered a cps just in case lol because not yolo

 

Unplug cam sensor. See if it starts.


Also I would advise stayin on the 2.8. We all know how you drive

 

Thanks, we did try that yesterday with the am sensor unplugged and it wouldnt fire. Then we tried it with just the maf sensor unplugged at it did without having to give it gas but then died instantly.


Planning to redo the cam sensor install as per jeffs instructions just to be safe.

Im thinking 2.5"

 

That will be your best bet.

 

Doin thangs the CSS way

 

Think this may be a/the problem.

Went to replace my crankshaft position sensor, and discovered that the harness right before the plug is frayed and showing wires. Which explains the short circuit or whatever it was code

Gm wants 75 bucks for this 8" harness suck my ass, im gonna fix it myself tonight.

 

i might have an extra one, but i think we determined that we have different sensors

 

We may, shoot me some pics if youre down thanks!

 

I just remember you asking about a 2 wire plug, but my crank sensor is 3 wire

 

Oh yeah

 

Yeah that harness might be your problem. How are you planning on fixing it?

 

some neosporin will make it heal up quicker

 

Inserting new pins and wires into both ends of the harness

 

Sounds like a good plan

 

Replaced sensor and tested that harness with an led, the led lit up so i glued aroubd the exposed area.

Still wont start.

Came up with this code below but its wierd because i relieved fuel pressure at the rail, tried to start, it would start for a split second if i floored the gas then shut off again. I relieved pressure tried again it didnt start then i checked pressure again and it still sprayed.

Wtf

P0230 Chevrolet - Fuel Pump Relay Control Circuit

Possible causes

- Faulty Fuel Pump Relay
- Fuel Pump Relay harness is open or shorted
- Fuel Pump Relay circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

 

stock pump wiring or do you have a zzp/ottp fuel pump rewire?

 

All stock
