No start after transmission repairs..

[upallnight]

Here a picture of the flywheel with the larger hole in which the hollow dowel needed to align with the hole. Since you didn't follow the procedure of aligning the dowel with the flywheel, as mention before your crank is out of alignment.

I have checked that already and it is aligned. If there was no alignment, the whole engine would misfire. Where did you come up with the idea that 'I did not follow the procedure'? Is it because this whole thing is a 'fiasco'? I am on these forums to request for help, not insult and belittling.

There is so much love in the air I am getting teary eyed..

I would bring up real time requested vs actual on CPS anyhow just to see why DME is mad since everything is synced relative to the crank, that's a good place to start since you were down there maybe CKP or wiring to it got damaged?

Hey Andrew,


I have checked all that and replaced the crankshaft sensor already. Not sure what else to do next..


Thanks,

Did you replace the crankshaft sensor as a shotgun in the dark or did you already know it was broken? as I say almost every time replaced does not mean fixed. do you have the original in and was it still working you might need to trade it back. Did you clean all the DME connectors?

I think they’re similar to the ABS sensors and are very finicky. I had a sensor misaligned by less than a millimeter and my ABS wouldn’t work. is the sensor OEM?

In the beginning I thought that would be the issue since we moved the transmission around a bit and replaced it with another OEM. I looked at DME connectors and they seemed ok but I will look again..


Thanks,

I got it from this post.

I guess I need to look at the timing pinhole on the flywheel and make sure it matches the sign on the crank.

Thanks for all the help once again.

Since you think I'm belittling you when I'm am providing you info on how to attack this problem, this will be my last post on your post. Good Luck.

Couple of posts after that I posted this :

'I matched the timing marks on engine (OT) and the crank (The one on the engine is something like 10-11 o'clock position?) and the pinhole on the transmission also perfectly is across from the one on the flywheel. I am thinking the timing is good then? Here is an illustration of where the mark is on the engine and the photo of the bolt I used to match the hole on the flywheel..'

When you are providing help using words such as 'fiasco' to describe my work, it is normal to assume you are getting in to 'belittling' territory..

Thanks for all your help anyway..

Cheers,

Don's almost always correct. Not always "but it rounds" don't let his "the wolf" curtness offend. We've butted horns plenty and I've learned there's no malevolence there. His hobby is helping people solve car problems best not to interfere with that hobby. You want his input because it's almost always helpful . Nobody bats 1000

I always appreciate the help I get here. I am also frustrated with no results I am getting and such negative tone from someone definitely adds to that frustration even when he is doing his best to help. You butted horns, apparently it is my turn


Once again, thanks for all the input from Don..

It's monumentality frustrating to get into a pickle like you are in no doubt. I wished I had a spare CPS to bring your way I'll be in Rogers Park again Tuesday-Thursday and can try to meet up maybe successful this time. I had two projects both fall apart on me (1 hour job take three days kind of deal) so my last trip was hell.

It does "feel like" CKP but also: have you tried running with the MAF unplugged yet? And what scanner are you using, can you monitor real-time cam requested and actual to maybe see what's going on.

A couple thoughts from relaying other xo experiences:

At least 3 times people without N62 have reported cam rekuctor working itslef loose and wreaks havoc.

And at least twice I've seen where people have had a bent rekuctor on M62 cause these types of woes.

Trust me it's waaaaaaay better that it will fire up and run a bit than not run at all.

Did you change your flywheel or just remove and replace? The CKP im sure is just as pain in ass as abs and CPS regarding tolerances. One friggin mm off and they will not work. Compare your old and new CKP make sure that the o-ring is not interfering (if it has one), also remove and wipe it clean a little film of rust can through things off.
