So i imported a gt4 to illinois! It was running fine on saturday until it died out when i gave it gas
I go to it today monday it wont start sounds like the timing belt is off checked the timing it was a brand new belt. Nice and tight how ever the car had no compression! I disconnected the intercooler and put it back on now its got compression and cranks healthy! There is spark and plenty of fuel pressure but i saw the ground cable smoking so i replaced it it dosent smoke now. Any ideas? im anxious to drive this thing thanks! |

Pictures under the hood would be helpful. What were the results of your compression test, and what did you use to check it? You need to ensure that ALL ground straps are connected. Lack of a ground strap could easily burn an over stressed ground strap. Either way, it sounds like your problem is electrical.
