ive been checking plugs, their dry like the vavles arent opening properly to let fuel in the motor. thats why the intake gets 1/4in of gas in it.

ok i figured it out thanks. i tried messing with the idle settings and nothing, just cranking and cranking. so monday im gonna bleed the lifters and see what happens.

im running a gm mas air sensor. i will try adjusting the idle settings, but i completely forgot how to work the translator. i remember that the aux doesnt get used and then theirs 4 dials on the bottom which is which and which way is leaner and richer?

i have the translator settings at zero right now so it runs at the stock afr of 10.0. i tried tuning with the translator when the car was running and the numbers were always different like it has a bad mas sensor or translator and at this point im focusing on getting the car to run first. i bought maf translator extensions, could i possibly have them hooked up wrong causing it not to run?

ok i went down to my shop today to check out the lifters. im brand new to overhead cam motors so i had a difficult time finding the lifters as my dad did too. do i have to pull the rocker assembly off ? also how would i go about collapsing the lifters? thanks

yes i checked most main things i could think of. it has good spark, it has fuel and it has air. i havent made it down to my shop to try and collapse the lifters yet but thats what im thinking it is.

we put a timing light on it while cranking and adjusted the timing a little bit. its really close to 10 degrees before top dead center.

ok that makes sense, i will try collapsing the lifters and see what happens. i checked it before and after both times it was 110.

yea i checked it before replacing the timing chain. it had 110 psi on all four cylinders. i dont know if the lifters are hydrolic or not the machine shop did all the head work, im pretty sure they are just stock lifters.

the intercooler piping is all hooked up. the tac moves when cranking, unfortunetly i lost my stock maft! i pulled the injector housing and cranked it while my dad watched the injectors, the primary sprays perfect. with that said should i still look for the ecu not getting a tac signal?

ok so i recently put a new timing chain, gears and all guides ect. had the head freshened up with new vavle job put the motor all back together with new gaskets and it doesnt start. the timing is correct, i have spark, fuel and air. the car will run if your spraying starting fluid into the throttle body with the injectors unplugged. whenever i try to start the car with the injectors plugged in it doesnt fire. i am lost now, i currently have all the nobs on my translator set at zero. if anybody has any ideas or thoughts please chime in i need as much help as possible. thanks

yep that works., thanks alot.

i know ill get jumped on about doing searches , i did search and couldnt find this specific answer im looking for. the modded maf translator plug has 5 prongs to plug into the stock harness, 3 on top and 2 on bottom. the stock harness has 8 slots the prongs can slid into 4 on top 4 on bottom. how do i correcly plug this in? thanks

i know it might not make sense but theres only 4 spots for the 3 pins to plug in and i just need to know which slots they plug into

ok i did a couple searches and couldnt find what i was looking for as always. this might be a noob question but oh well. im installing maft extensions and need to know, the plug that comes off the translator and plugs into the stock harness is the one im having trouble with. the pins on the translator are like this 123 and the stock harness is 1234 12 1234 thats the best example i can come up with, any help would be highly appreciated.

alright that got me everything i need, thanks alot for the quick response.

I am in the process of replacing the timing chain, guides, tensioner and cam gear. i am looking for a online diagram or manual of the complete timing set up with torque specs and everything i need to know. if anyone can help me find this i would highly appreciate it as i am itching to get my quest back on the road. thanks alot

How much can I expect to get out of this car after the motors freshened up? This car is really clean pictures do not do it justice

I guess I should have sated that the car was running perfectly before the mods. All that it needed was a vaccuum line and my dad bought this racing oil that lubricated everything stopping the smoke. This car was deffenetly well taken care of and the motor is going to be fresh!!!!! It sat for 10 years sorry my mistake, the previous owner cleaned the fuel system and prior to selling it to me. The only rust is like a 2 inch by 2 inch spot.

ok im gonna start this by saying i love this car but its just not practical for me anymore. its got a hurt motor right now so im going to have to do a rebuild, therefore the motor will be fresh. details. a little history, i bought it from the first owner he bought it brand new, he drove it from 0 miles to 43xxx then his wife drove it from there to 70xxx and it got parked for 10 years in a garage, then it was sold to me. the car was repainted once, never wrecked or beat on. the paint is great, the only bad part is the drivers side part of the rear spoiler the paint is chipping/fadded. the hatch needs to be adjusted a little bit to line up PERFECTLY but its not bad right now. the rear seats are deleted but i have them still. 1988 chrysler conquest tsi widebody 5 speed. 75,xxx miles clean title . very clean car, some small scratches and dings here and there barley noticable. custom bult 3in turbo back exhaust, very very nice sounds awsome. gm mas air and maf translator located in the cabin. manual boost controller, autometer boost guage and aem uego wideband. stock wheels 7in front 9in back powdercoated black with red pin stripe. tires are good. adjustable coil overs. battery relocated to the trunk. i will also throw in extras, tranny, turbo and a 4 8in wide wheels. i will be honest, i have 4800$ into this car, and i havent spent a dime on the rebuild yet, please just let me know what this is worth and what i should ask for it im trying to sell it not overprice it and never sell it. i can upload more pics if thats needed or a link to my forsale ad. thanks questttt.BMP quests.BMP

motor has a tick now, starting the tear down someday very soon, getting the head rebuilt and everything else i need to do. so it will be forsale again in the future same price just a fresh top end. will sell it how it is for the right price, it ran before i took the vavle cover off, waiting on my brother to help with the rest. let me know thanks.

NEVER MIND. i figured it out. thanks

ok i ordered the extended cable for the translator. it says it has a female and male side. do you happen to know what size plugs into the stock harness and what side plugs into the translator harness??

where can i find a pod that replaces the hvac like yours? what size are your gauges?

im looking to mount my maf translator inside the car so im in need of extended cables. does anyone make some that i can just plug in or do i have to custom make these?
