My brother bought a 1993 Del Sol Si that has been sitting in my friend's backyard for over a year. The motor had blown a timing belt and bent a valve. Well, we got an intact and good condition Z6 head off a block that came with the car. The pistons in the Z6 block in the car looked fine, so we decided to reuse the block instead of going through the hassle of a minime on a B2 block. So, I swapped the heads, plugged everything back in where it goes (I'm pretty sure lol) new hoses, etc. My brother goes and gets a remanufactured distributor from Advance Auto and we put it on, and I looked over my work to make sure everything was there. Filled her up with a couple quarts of oil (he owes me lol), put the key in, and tried to let her go. Dash lights turned on, Main relay clicks (if I remember correctly, will have to double check that one, relay was replaced btw) and went to turn the key to run and the car cranked and cranked, but did not want to start. So hmm, figured well, lets start with basics.
Let me put some details down quick.
- Fuel pump is dead. (Brother refused to buy one until I got spark, dumbass, says he'll get one next weekend)
- No spark from all four plugs
- Only bad fuse is a dome light fuse
- All electrical connectors are plugged in
- Distributor was replaced twice (both reman's, starting to think these reman's are bad news)
- Main relay was replaced
- Battery is brand new
So, basically, lots of brand new s**t, still same issue. Thought I'd try and get everyone's help on this one. Greg (TigBitties) has been helping me a lot and I appreciate all the help he gives me. Yeah I'm a suck up haha. Anyways, there's the story on this shitbox. Moral of the story, don't let my brother buy cars that don't run.
