Dickinson County Comanche Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 Just put the new engine in the Comanche and I’m not having issues. The engine will crank fine, then slow way down, the will crank fine again. It shouldn’t be a valve issue, I checked them. It was trying to kick over initially but then has stopped trying to fire at all now. CPS misaligned maybe? Distributor is in properly and is properly hooked up. Have fuel, have spark, just no boom unfortunately. (Which might be a good think since I haven’t hooked up the exhaust yet.) Also, can a renix run without a knock sensor? I busted mine when reinstalling the engine and can’t get one for a while…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickinson County Comanche Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 It seems like a timing issue, like it’s way too far advanced, but the distributor isn’t adjustable, so what would that bring it to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickinson County Comanche Posted August 12, 2021 Author Share Posted August 12, 2021 Tried a second time, it initially kind of coughed, then wouldn't fire again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It started to pour about a mile from my house and since the LEDs are bright I was able to make it back. There was a plug unplugged under the dash and voila! They work again.
