No back fire and my cat has been hollowed out by the PO years ago. I also replaced the cap and rotor and checked for spark and that looked good I can normally figure this stuff out, But this has me stumped Not even trying to fire. I will try again tomorrow and double check it all again Darren > Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 20:36:10 -0400 > From: paullist08@GUZYK.COM > Subject: Re: Help w/2.1 What am i missing? > To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM > > did you notice a backfire or other exhaust noise lately? > > a plugged CAT can cause a no run situation when you have fuel and spark...whack the cat, does it sound like anything broken inside? > > Put you hand on the taipipe.

I was on my to fill up cause I was very low, so I thought I ran out of gas. I put in some new gas And It would not start, Checked my fuel pressure at the T and it was 35 psi I pinched the return line and watched it go over 80 before I released it, I checked spark and had it , Checked compression all over 110 psi, I checked voltage at the injectors with a dc voltage detector and saw it pulsing but still the van would not fire, not even try to fire. > >> > >> > >> Spark, Compression, Fuel, Air > >> What am I missing? > >> > >> Darren > >> Rockford MI > >> _________________________________________________________________ > >> Insert movie times and more without leaving Hotmail�. > >> http://windowslive.com/Tutorial/Hotmail/QuickAdd?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_HM_Tutorial_QuickAdd_062009 > > _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live�: Keep your life in sync. http://windowslive.com/explore?ocid=TXT_TAGLM_WL_BR_life_in_synch_062009
