My S/C went 2 days ago, got very loud, as in loud banging noise, so I grabbed a used one that was laying around my garage. Took me 2 hrs to figure out how much work there is involved with taking the old one off.
It's off, cleaned the old gasket off the head, got a new gasket, put the new/old unit on, had a hell of a time putting the rail with the fuel injectors back on, but succeeded finally.
Any hoo.....
Reconnected my battery up, got into the car, turned the key, motor turned over, car sort of started, back fired ... now it will not start, turns over, You know .... crank, crank vroom vroom, then stalls, once it kept on going, but vibrated the whole car really bad, until it stalled, and since then, does not start, does not back fire, just turns and turns, with the odd vroom and immediate stall out, after a few cranks, it actually stops cranking, like someone uses a vise grip and stops it cold in it's tracks.
I have really checked everything over, everything is connected, any ID's would be appreciated... I'm at my witts end.
