Won't start! Vacuum leak, Timing?? IDK? - 12/11/2007 8:08:12 PM    SPE926   Posts: 642 Joined: 3/11/2006 Status: offline          OK I just finished swaping out my stock head, e3, and intakes on my 84. I put on a ported big valve head with ranger roller cam, box style intake manifolds, accufab fuel pressure regulator w/ gauge, la3 ,and a 3rd gen Bob's log. I went to set timing and the cam pointer on the back timing cover was broken/mssing so I used the string method found in the sticky's and finished putting it together. When I started the car it would idle very roughly at 500 rpm and wouldn't go any higher even with wot. Took it apart redid timing again and now it won't even start. I checked all vaccum lines and replaced any I had taken off durring the swap so I am pretty sure it isn't a vaccum problem. Any Suggestions?? _____________________________ 84 SVO, LA3, 3rd Gen Bob's Log, Ported Big Valve Head, Ranger Roller Cam, Ported Lower, Gutted Upper Intakes, Stinger Oil Lines, Stinger 3 inch Exhaust.

Is your ignition timing right? Did you make sure to hook up all the vacuum lines? _____________________________ Project No Hands 2.3 Tech Articles Waiting for a real race..
