fto not starting

[99casst]

hi guys lets run this from the start.
I changed the water pump on fto the other day all went well till timing come up i no where the cams must go but as for crank that the puzzle i have try counter one tooth from the timing mark
i try on mark still wont fire - just turns over took the coil pack out spark no there is fuel as i had injector deal go when originally put back together and it leaked out so changed that.
if i spray lynx in the inlet it back fires now does this sound like a sensor wheel problem due to spark or a issue still with timing if any one no the marks to use for the crank then that be use full im using the one about 11-12 it a little dash on the oil pump the valves r not hitting as i would heard also if any one no how to position a sensing wheel this would be use full
i really dont no what this issue would be
by the way the engine is gr

I changed a timing belt myself on a Mivec but it was a while ago. I will see if I can find the guide I used. I know the car won't start if the crank sensor is disconnected. Have you checked the wiring on this?

[blackwrx]

When you finished replacing the belt were all the timing marks lined up or was the crank still off by 1 tooth?

[99casst]

the sensor is pluged in but may damaged it wore looks ok but it looks like bit plastic got squashed but dont no if this is the case and try on mark just past mark clock wise and counter all cams line up its sressing me out now

[blackwrx]

I'm not a mechanic but I'm fairly sure when the belt is on all the timing marks should be lined up.

[99casst]

yeah they r its been on every mark and nitch u can think of at first it back fire out inlet now it is back firing out exsaust now im staring to thing new lump as this has really got on my wick i done cam belts befor just shame as i did the water pump errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

thank u for that that sort cleared some stuff up but still not shore let me tell u what going on it cranks its been timed nearly every way i timed it up yesterday with cams locked in their position and put the plastic cam casing on the pully moved the notch to the t on casing and locked cam sprocket and fitted belt started up and nothing still cranked every time checked by hand for clearance no knocks my m8 did this to his fto and started first time no problems so im shore the timing should work for me when i removed coil one put plug in i got a spark i no its fueling but do u think i should check the rest for a spark when i removed the water pump lots water come out this has not damaged the crank sensor do u think i no there temperamental it was covered in stuff so took of and clean and still would not start just lot money to waist if not the issue

[99casst]

does any body no how many ohms mitsubishi say the crank angel should read if tested

[blackwrx]

I have an old engine at home I will check the ohms tomorrow for you.

[99casst]

that will be brilliant is it a gr if so i no this soulds like hassle but if u could time up and take a pic so i can compare just for peace mind its the crank i need

[blackwrx]

Measured the resistance between the 2 lower pins and it was 1.86 Mega Ohms. This is off a Mivec engine

[99casst]

emmm not 100% shore but think that is what mine is what setting did u put your meter to e.g 20 ohms 2000ohms . im shore mine said 900 but could been something diff as mine kept flashing with all sorts numbers i ill double check in min also thank u for what u did

[blackwrx]

Put it on the 20 Mega Ohms setting and see what you get. Mine was definately 1.86 Mega ohms.

[99casst]

i will do m8 all being well i dont get that reading lol then it will exsplain my issue if not i got engine 200 done 70 000 i cant be bothered with paying mechanics to do same stuff i done. dont suppose any one no where i can get the specification for this sencer e.g ohms and that to Mitsubishi guide book

[blackwrx]

I checked the sensor when it was removed from the car. I think you will get a different reading when it is attached as it looks to be a magnetic sensor.

[99casst]

did a reading when removed from car got a reading of 5.74 and sometimes 6.40 odd

[99casst]

ok people thanks for your help but today took the whole lump out putting diff engine in later in week on my travels thow taking it out found the issue and i never even relised this was what the issue was the sensing plate on cam shaft was bent and as it went round took a slice out the sencer but the engine was unhealfy due to closer inspection any way thanks for your help

[blackwrx]

Good stuff,at least you found the problem. Gooduck with the new engine.
