i cant get my car to start. its a 91 240 with a ka24de. i just got new wires for it cuz the old ones were melted on the plugs. idk, whenever i turn the key i can tell its close to starting. you can hear the exuast note a little, so i geuss its getting gas. i think it needs a headgasket, but would that matter if im just tryin to start it? it used to start but i took off the valve cover to look at some stuff and now it wont start. whenever it did start the revs would loaf around alot. if driven for a few minutes it, the water would start boiling in the eng coolant tank. and then it wouldent start after that. could this be a timing issue? i looked at the dipstick and theres no water in the oil. so im lost. im just tryin to get this car to start so i can move it about 2 miles away. ill try to get more details on it later. please help, thanks.

 

help would be...

...helpful?

 

1st off. ... tripple check your firing order. 1 - 3 - 4 - 2


second off, if its boiling the water that quickly, it obviously has a cooling issue. perhaps bad enough to shit your headgasket. it might be too bad to start.

 

damn, thats sucks to hear that. shuan from cfp is comin to check it out tomm. hell know.

 

it was a simple timing problem. fixed in like 25 minutes. all i need now is a s14 valve cover and a water pump.

 

What are you going to do with it ? swap a S14 KA in ?

 

hehe, get this. im dumb i didnt know it was an s14 engine to start with. im so happy. this motor prob has like 60k on it. sean said it was a clean swap too.

 

where did you get the motor from? does it have the S14 distributor on it? who did the swap?

 

i didnt get the motor, it was already in there. im not sure if the distibuter is s14 or not. sean said it looked like xat did it.
