Subject: Re: 95 Vette - will not crank (behaves like there is no gas - there is) by UK_Moe_Vet on 2008/3/6 9:13:07 Dear TopTechX6 Thanks so very much for taking the time to reply - I feel much better after hearing what you had to say: In summary: 1. If the starter turns the engine over you can rule out VATS (YES IT DOES) 2. check for fuel pressure at the rail on the intake manifold, should be close to 40psi. (THANKS - MY AUSTIN MARTIN PAL IS DOING THIS SATURDAY) 3. make sure there is spark at the plugs (THANKS - MY AUSTIN MARTIN PAL IS DOING THIS SATURDAY) 4. the only remaining variables are compression and timing Thanks so very much for the above insights. My pal noticed already that one of the belts is on backwards (which may go some way towards timing). He will be pleased to know he is not also conteding with VATS system. Forgive me but are you aware of any on-line resources that might shed some light on verifying both compression and timing on the LT1? Thanks again - I do appreciate your time! warm regards kev |
