So, my A&A supercharged FiY is almost completely back together. Only, it won't start... :mad:
I'm not sure the attached .MOV file will work, but what's happening is that when the starter button is pushed, the starter spins the engine and it makes a regular little "pop", seemingly every 1/2 second. If I roll on the throttle whilst doing this, the pops increase in pace, but the engine never really makes an effort to start.
I have swapped out the PGM-FI unit with a known-good one, replaced the ignition pulse sensor (under the RHS crankcase cover) with a probable-good one and removed the Power Commander V from the equation. I have also tested the wires from the ignition pulse sensor back to the PGM-FI and they are good. For good measure, I tested the cam position sensor wires as well.
The rear plugs (at least) are getting sparks (I didn't check the front cyls). There is bit of a gasoline smell from the lovely new underseat exhausts, but not a whole lot. The fuel pump can be heard powering up (and is new), and the FI light on the dash turns off within a few seconds of turning on the key.
I think this is ignition-related, but I'm running out of things to test! (I have moved the PGM-FI unit and its wires around quite a bit, trying to find the best place to mount it and route the wires, but have only tested a few of the wires for continuity.)
FYI, I initially focused on the ignition pulse sensor because the PGM-FI unit gave me a "19" code when I put it into test mode. However, after I tried to "clear" the stored error code (to see if it would reproduce), I no longer get any error codes--just a solid FI warning light when I put it into test mode. That's when I tried a different PGM-FI unit, but I didn't put that one into test mode for fear of breaking it!
Any ideas would be most appreciated.
