wont start

[legacyrsra]

I have a ae92 levin with redtop 4age
after my bro took most of the interior off while installing the sound system
now it wont start it turns over but nothing no even little bit of start then off
nothing was touched in the engine bay so im assuming something under the dash somewhere is gone loose or out of place
but checked everything seemd ok

anything im missing? any help appreciated

[l1ttle_d3vil]

did he plug the computer back in? i unplugged mine to check some stuff a while back then started doing other stuff and forgot to plug it back in then wondered why it wouldn't fire... but I was almost passing out from heat - thats my excuse anyway

the only thing i could think of is to check the wiring loom that runs along the dash. if he tugged on it for some extra length a plug could have become dislodged somewhere along the line.

also any pinched wires which can be caused by the above could be shorting out somewhere.

humor me but when you install a sound system you normally disconnect the battery... check its not still disconected

battery is in and thus its turns over i have lights in the dash
he didnt pull out dash out totaly but pulled the digital speedo and the centre console, also the glove box

when you turn on ignition do you have engine check light on?

ok my suggestion would be to pull all the interior out again and thoroughly check there are no loose plugs around the digital speedo area (also any other area) with a torch as this could affect the running of the car

and as the little devil said, check your ecu is plugged in too

when you turn on ignition do you have engine check light on?

on the digital speedo's do you have a light that actually sais "CHECK ENGINE" or is it the same orange engine block light?
the orange light does come on i have tried and placed a link on the e1 and te1 i think it is to check for faults but the light doesnt flash anything

we only unplugged the digital dash out
and it started normal with it out 3 days ago

pretty weird, if you've only unplugged and plugged things straight back in it wouldn't stop running all of a sudden, unless you blew/shorted something out in the process.
if you modified the wiring in a major way then you may have wired the stuff back together incorrectly but it doesn't sound like you have.

I would just back-track everything that you pulled apart and recheck it all, it could be something that you changed or didn't put back together right.

before you pull your dash to pieces again I would check to see if you have got spark though...

[gordon77]

check all the fuses...

Pull a spark plug out and see if they're wet after cranking and smell like fuel. That way you'll know fuel pump and injectors are still all working. Check for spark also. Chances are that one of those are missing

If its fuel then check that the fuel pump is actually working (should hear it humming when you turn the key on. If you've got no spark... well, deal with that when you get there
