For some reason my blue beast won't start up after she's been idling for a while. Cold starts perfect. No start meaning she just spins over and no fire.I don't have a noid light set any more to test injector toggle and I can't get it to light up a test light. The injectors have reference voltage to them when it's in it's no start condition as well. It is getting spark and it seems like fuel is coming in too because I can smell it out of the exhaust when i'm trying to start it.

List of recent replacements:

MSD cap& Rotor
Ignition module
Pickup inside distributor
MSD coil
New starter solenoid
Fuel Pump
Fuel Filter
New starter cable and starter

And no I haven't replaced all of this because of the problem. Just normal stuff I thought I should replace due to the age of the car and me not knowing how old it is .

Also put in an aluminum radiator and electric cooling fan, but that was after I had found out about the no start when hot issue .

Any ideas? I tried the "salt and pepper shaker" fix and didn't seem to fix anything. Also found a ground wire loose but fixed that. It's got a reman A9T in it so I'm going to try my friends' A9L and see if maybes it's a computer issue but other than that I'm starting to run short on ideas.

 

When you go to start her when shes warm does it kinda turn over slow and sound like shes straining??

 

Not at all RPMs are fast as hell with that SFI flex in there lol.

 

Ahh ok, I was thinking maybe timing was too advanced, I had an 86 back in the day do that...sorry I couldnt be more help...Im learning somethings still myself

 

Yeah I had it advanced 3 degrees and pulled it back to factory thinking that could be causing problems too...

 

First thing I would try is starter fluid. Try this and see if she fires up. If so, rip off the fuel injection and burn it before it causes you any more grief.

This would be my first step. If you were closer I have a noid light you can use.

 

If they are big like 42's. just floor it while it's cranking.

You can use a noid light, mustang injectors from what ive sen int he foxes, have constant power and pulse thru the ground.

 

you can use a regular test light..just clamp the other end to the battery + so you can test the pulse through ground.

 

That's what I did but the ground signal either is too weak to light a bulb or there is no signal. Going to put my multimeter on it this afternoon and see if the digital bar shows anything.

The injectors I have are 24lbs'ers with a MAF conversion and calibrated MAF for the injectors. It's just odd it only happens when she's hot. Gonna rework all the grounds today as well and see if maybe the heat is causing too much resistance with a weak ground. I dunno .

It's not a DD, but I can't gimp out and throw a carb on her. I like the electrical aspect of cars so I'd rather cram a few brain cells
