When I removed the engine, I had to disconnect a lot of surrounding connections, so it was quite a challenge to put everything back together.
The drive shaft was stiff, so I bought a used one and replaced it.
This is left side.
This is the drive shaft on right side.
The shaft nut cannot be reused, so we replaced it with a new one.
The engine is idling to circulate the oil, so I used that opportunity to measure the compression.
Cylinder number 1 is about 1330kpa.
Cylinder number 2 is 1350kpa.
Cylinder number 3 is 1250kpa.
Cylinder number 4 is 1450kpa.
Thinking it might be time to start the engine, I tried, but unfortunately, it wouldn’t start.
The starter turned, but there seemed to be no ignition spark.
Wow, I’ve come this far and am in a bit of a pickle.
At this point, the proper procedure would be to check the ECU power supply, but there seems to be nothing wrong with the voltage at the power terminals.
The ignition coil was receiving power, so I tried replacing it, but there was still no spark…
Hmm, this is troubling.
I suspect a fault with the ECU, but I don’t have a replacement ECU on hand, so I’m waiting for one to be ordered.
To be continued
