It got to -40 C. I tried starting it for the day, no luck. So, I pulled it into my friend's heated big log truck garage and let it thaw out, still no start. Day 2, Changed plugs and oil.It was flooded...Smell of gas in the oil and wet plugs. Cranked it over without plugs to get rid of any fuel in the cylinders. Let it sit overnight. Day 3, thought it would start right away. No such luck, Battery is good, fuel is getting to injectors, there is spark from sparkplugs.....WTF!!!!!!

Sensor? Any help would be greatly appreciated....Can't afford to take it to a garage right now.

Your timing chain is out of time. [/align][/align]

You think it's the timing? Would that have changed because I tried cranking over while cold?

ussva

Is this procedure going to be difficult to do? Doesn't look like it has a distributor, flat box with the plug wires plugged in.

Had nothing to do with the timing. Cleaned contacts on sensors, it was the anti-freeze sensor. What happened to the dependable computerless engines, carburators etc.....?

Starts fine in terms of engine, but, starter is gone now from cold cranking with battery boost/charger set at boost 60 amp.
