Hope you get it running man. All this hard work is gonna feel good in the end when it's running.

 

i know it will....thanks for the moral support....lol

 

RAINING?!?!?! dont bullshit me you live in cali it never rained once when i live there j/k

 

i know huh....aint that some ****....well i put a scanner on it and i got code p0315 which needs a crankcase relearn...which that has been there for a while now....but that was it...so im not worried about that....so it could only mean that my timing was off...so i just re did my timing....im waiting for the seal to cure here in a few minutes im going to go start her....wish me luck

 

luck mang.. get a vid damnit lol

 

ill post a vid and make a new thread once i get her running again..this thread is getting really long

 

good luck man

 

well just got back from trying to jump start it....somehow the battery died again....im going to take the battery back to autozone tomorrow so they can charge it or they can give me a new one....its all good cuz i just got it...and i have warranty on it

really sounded it like it wanted to start....

 

hmmm..... did you do test teh coil packs yet?

 

no i re did the timing....its too cold to be out side...but i have a spare coil pack....ill swap it out tomorrow....


i heard combustion....so it sounds like the coil packs are good

 

alright then, good luck

 

battery is completely dead...and the battery in the aveo does not put out as much amps as the redtop in my cobalt...so it just drops to about 8 volts when i crank it

 

damn man that sucks well least you shuold have sucess tomorrow right?

 

do you have short somewhere? somethings gotta be touching something to be draining the battery. how long was it in the car for?

 

I guarantee you that it's something really simple, it will just be a pain in the ass until you find it.

 

the battery has been in for about a week now

the only thing i can think about is the capacitor might be draining the battery

im sure it is something simple...its not throwing no codes so im really not getting any hints at all...so im looking for a needle in a hay stack right now....if i cant get this working before new years...its going to the shop so someone else can look at it

 

quitter

 

not quitting just starting to get tired of being out in the cold....my bones hurt foo

 

lol im just bustin your *****...quitter

 

wat efa

 

the capasitor is your problem. you are suppose to disconnect capasitors when not in use. this is coming form a local car audio shop. the guy their refused to sell me one because he said that they have started fires in cars and recommended me to get a high power alternator, which i did. i just need to get it installed.

 

yea i figuered it was the problem...but yea once i get off work today im going to head out to autozone with this battery and get it charged/replaced...and i should be good...i hope

 

im done ******* around....it seriously sounds like it wants to start....but nothing....im just going to take it to the pros as soon as i get some cash in my pocket...they can get the timing down right...obviously im ******* something up and its not starting....after i redid the timing...it sputters a bit more....but its not good....well i feel i have done everything possible....ill give it another try tomorrow before i move

 

if your still trying to check if the car is getting spark you can pull out the coil pack, stick a screwdriver in it, and have someone try to crank the car, youll know it is passing spark, do that to all of them, that should tell you which ones are working and which ones are not, or you could be a ***** and do it the bitch way and buy the screwdriver with a built in light ment to do this, but than whats the shock, i mean fun in that

p.s. get your car running and throw a intercooler on it, atleast a water to air or something to cool the air down

 

yea its going to be a lil while before i get my car running again...im sure it has something to do with the timing....mayb im just not doing it right...

this is pretty much how i did it....piston 1 at TDC and then the crankshaft sprocket white tooth at 5 o clock and the the exhaust cam diamong or triangle cant remember at 10 o clock and the intake at 2 o clock....just like the book says it should be done.....and it looks like i failed again....but once i get my last paycheck from the marine corps..thats going to be a lil less than 5k..here in about 40 days or so...hopefully less im going to take it in to a shop...im done playing around
