been doing some work on my bothers tj(did lash adjusters) got it all back together tonight, and it wont start!! pulled out a plug and i have spark and i "think" :confused: i have fuel. just dont seem to fire at all. have changed the cams in my car so i been there before but cant work this out!! any ideas what i may have left off or forgot to do?? im pretty sure all the wires are connected. got a bit dark so not 100% on that.

Not that this may help but had something similar to this at work today, check ALL plugs are secure. we had a L300 today where the plug was on but missing the silver clip and cause it came loose, car refused to start.
could be a problem? cant hurt to check

wouldnt it still fire tho? mine run on 4 cylinders when it blew up lol

Not to fill your thread with crap but it cranked but wouldnt fire. once this plug was on it fired :) Dunno, could be a possibility.

Tried jump starting it? One of my battery cells died the other day and that was the issue I was having, turn the key and nothing.

It cranks though dude :P

i haven't fitted the alternator yet and the belt is off, would that stop it from firing??

Mmmmm dont think so. All it has is 2 power feeds and a feed that goes to the dash light as a warning.
if youve been cranking cranking cranking, hook up a jumper car, the more you crank the more heat etc you put in the starter and its cables.

youll find that once the engine is running, the alternator is used instead of the battery for electricals

Taking a guess here

But if you refit all the electricals ie alternator and associated wiring I bet you it will start and run fine

Cheers

maybe a problem with the imoboliser?
crank angle sensor plugged in?

Body Control Module maybe playing up.

dude just finish the car off, put everything back together, and then try

Fuses/relays? :)

Well i got it going:D seems it was out of timing somehow..
