2002 Discovery 2 No start after head gasket replacement
Hello all
I finally signed up on this site after using it countless times over the years!
I need some help!!! I just finished replacing my head gaskets and was so anxious to fire it up!! But it is not getting any spark.
Here is everything I can think of.
#1 I didn't think about setting it to TDC when I started tearing it apart. I always do this!!! But because of the crank position sensor and ecm etc I went ahead and did the job without moving the engine, since I had just taken the heads off when I realized my mistake.
#2 I removed the auxiliary air injection. The copper tubing was bad. And plugged the ports with nice little steel plugs I found exact fit at ACE.
#3 I didn't mark the position of the throttle cables, however I set them to the .1 and .5 MM gaps on the cable cam.
#4 I never unplugged the crank position sensor.
#5 I bled off the fuel manifold, with the key on, but only got a teeny bit of air.
#6 I am not hearing the fuel pump kick on at all.
#7 I have checked all fuses but dont have a code reader.
#8 I have triple checked and removed the coil packs twice to check my wires were plugged in correctly. Even tho if it was firing, it would at least pop a little!
#9 I have disconnected the battery and ran a wire from neg to pos to reset the codes!
#10 I GIVE UP AND SNOW IS COMING!
Please help I cant lose any more hair!!
Thanks
Allen
