Message So I am finally at the stage of this motor rebuild where I am trying to start it up. It's all put back together for the first time in almost 2 years. We drained the gas that I forgot about and then put a fresh 3 gallons into it. I filled it with the rest of the fluids. I put the key in, turned it, and got nothing but cranking.

I noticed the fuel pump is not priming either. I thought it might have been the gas that has been sitting but now I'm not so sure. I tried to run an ECU diagnostic but it is giving me problems. The red light is on but it won't go into diagnostic mode. My Blazt is not connecting to it either. I changed out chips with a spare but I still have the same symptoms. I have a friend who is going to let me borrow his spare ECU tomorrow.

We also noticed that my CEL is not illuminated. At this point, I don't know whether my ECU went bad on me out of nowhere after sitting for 2 years or if it is something else.

Never Play Leapfrog With A Unicorn!!!

Do yourself a favor and just worry about your own car. I don't see what everyone is so worried about anyway. If someone else wants to perform a modification that you believe will destroy the value, cheapen the Z32 or whatever you can't sit on your hands about, wouldn't that make your tastefully-modified, white bread Z32 more rare and valuable? -- BradZ (FL) on December 23, 2007 at 12:19 PM
