[FIXED] 2001 ACURA CL 3.2 CRANKS/ NO START

it works, but what do i open vss file with lol

you tube videos are not working here

@26 minutes in he talks about asian v6

i will ask this in a different section. I open it with the snap on versus not sure what else can open them.

I found it, Shop Stream Connect

Tim.smith: According to pictures of spark plugs, i was expecting totally wet ones.

I mean, wet without resistors and dry with resistors (if it's the case, we can conclude something).

did you notice any diference with and without resistors?

I can't still conclude wheter is lack or to much fuel

okay so let me make this clear the plugs i took pictures of were the plugs that came out of the car when it first came into my shop.

guys i need to get caught up on some other cars at my shop i am going to have to put this one on the back burner for the moment it will give me time to make money lol and also give me time to step away and think about it for a bit to clear my head i will still check back here of course incase someone thinks of anything.

Find out why the injectors are using so little amps. I was expecting ~1 amp on each subsequent ramp, not 250 mA.

I don't think cam crank is an issue because there are no codes, there's injector and spark control, and my initial suspicion concerning the missing injector ramps after all of them fire, well, if the cam crank was an issue the missing ramps would be consistent throughout the capture, not just on initial crank, so that leads me away from cam issue.

I've think it's time we have a look at your cam and crank signals. When you have outputs that are not being turned on, like fuel injectors, it's probably due to bad inputs. Just look at the missing ramps !

You second question about the signals jumping around. That looks like a scope sample rate issue, if you had peak detect turned on you wouldn't see that. Long time bases cause this issue

damn i guess i did not subscribe i only went for the 14day trial or something lol i payed for subscription now how long does it take to turn me back on lol

does anyone have a location on ground g115 for this acura says rear of engine on alldata hoping for exact location or maybe a picture lol

nvm i found them alldata non oe says g115 for grounds that is wrong it is g101

Is it confirmed the injectors are have power/ground issue?

I hate to disagree with Paul here, but I think this is actually a scope ground issue. :blush: :lol: Ignition coil trigger signals (and other signal circuits) look like this when the test lead is connected to the coil, but the scope ground either isn't connected or connected poorly.

That doesn't stop the amp probe from reading correctly, however, as it doesn't need an external ground. It makes it's own voltage, and doesn't need to be grounded to the car to work. That's why the amp trace looks OK, but the trigger doesn't.

For example, I got this off my car. Green trace is connected to the #3 coil, but no scope ground is connected.

I will redo that test tomorrow @jreardon. I will also post scope movie on computer grounds with key off then key on then cranking.

@ 21:30 in youtube video - during cranking, voltages will be elevated on all grounds which is to be expected. Also expect battery voltage to drop to 9-10 volts during cranking.
watch the green trace

Okay so new information also picks of timing. We disconnected fuel pump and made sure plugs and cylinders were dry then plugged fuel pump back in we got this engine to run around 200 rpms one at a time I unplugged each coil hoping I could pin down what cylinders were working and what ones were not. After all coils were unplugged this car stay running no difference I would describe it as dieseling. The car finally shut off it took a few trys but eventually started back up.

I then decided to unplug the fuel pump and see if I could make the car only run on carb cleaner only with no fuel pump it did and quite well once I got the mixture right.

retook coil and injector test coil was yellow off control wire injector was looped into under fuse for main relay that powers injectors with green trace amp clamp was set on 1 mv/1ma looks like 1.2 amps?

How about a balance test? but all injectors at the same time?

cheers.

This ^

The ramps look fine now at ~1 amp each

how would i scope all the injectors at once off the ground wire?
