the crankshaft sensor was unplugged when I checked it, plugged it in with no results, so I replaced it with a new one.

fixed the grinding starter, new coil, new starter relay, new crankshaft position sensor, new cap and rotor for the distributor, and I still can't get spark, running really low on ideas, any suggestions guys?

gonna have to check, had one of my buddies do the head gasket for me, still no spark though, new distributor, can't get her to spark, and the starter is starting to grind for some reason...

Hey guys, don't know if anyone has an idea, but that's what we are here for, right? So, recently rebuilt the fuel system because she was running rough. Finished the job, and discovered a blown head gasket. Changed that last night, everything is plugged back in, and now she is not getting spark or fuel. I can hear the brand new pump kicking on, but there is zero fuel at the rail. Squirted a little ether (starting fluid) in the intake, and she still won't fire, indicating no spark either. I am going to swap out the ECU (I love working in a salvage yard) and see if that fixes the problem, but does anyone have any other ideas in case that doesn't work?

One headache after another, faulty fuel pump, bad alternator, blew out the fuel pressure regulator, and just when I though I had all of that fixed, the head gasket blew, damn my luck...

I would start by checking the local yards for the ZJ coils springs, should be quite affordable that way.

sweet, congrats man :cheers:

Easiest way to get this one is to remove the 7mm screw that sits in the middle, between the two plugs, and then remove the two #3 phillips screws from the fuse box on the inside of the truck, the whole thing will then come right out. You may have to wiggle it a bit to get it off from under the master cylinder, but should be an easy job.

Today is the day of truth, driving her up to the tire store to get the tires balanced, and then to work. I still have a lot of cosmetic buttoning up to do, but she is road worth and street legal again. I will get pictures of the interior as soon as I finish it, but my project nears completion...

Dash and harness are mostly back together, all of the lights are working properly, and she's running and driving great. A couple more plugs, a few screws, and I can put her back I the road, I am so stoked...

small pic update, she's come a long way from where she was...

It is a mini, 1979 Canadian model Austin Mini...

Hey guys, I haven't posted in a while, been busy with another project, though you guys might like to see it:

Okay, my camera is officially dead, making the picture taking close to impossible at the moment, but I have to get pics up for you guys. Assembly is down to wheels, antenna, flares, and the interior. She is almost done, and should be fully finished (sort of, still need to order the diamond plate) and back on the road in another week or so. I know the update is useless without pictures, so I will see what I can do in the next day or so...
