Sent to Car Experts November 09 05:21 PM

I have a 2000 daewoo leganza, just replaced the cyl head (bent valves) It has good compression but won't start, when I turn on the key I have spark, not at crank. Turn on the key, the fuel relay keeps clicking and all the sparks plugs are sparking and I'm not cranking the engine. I tested the cam and crank sensor and even changed out the ecm, still get the same thing. What next fuel pump?

 

Optional Information:
2000 leganza 2.2

Already Tried:
changed ecm did not work, went by vin number

Do you have fuel to the rail? it may have air trapped in the rail causing the problem

Reply to Kyle Northrop's Post: well this doesn't have a distributer...so you think timing is a issue here. This 2.2 OHV- 16 valve di-tech can be a notch off to cause these problems with the advance spark and constant feed fuel rely switch. I tried everything else...

Reply to Kyle Northrop's Post: This Daewoo does not have a distributer, 16 valve OHV. Timing is not off, why would I have spark without crank. I set the plugs on top of the engine, turn on the key, the fuel relay clicks and all the plugs spark. What the heck is going on...Tim
