Does the flywheel need to be a certain way on a VK Black motor?

[toxic VL]

Hi All,

I am having major problems getting my Auto 6 EFI VK running, I put in a fresh motor and everything seems to be how it came out, but when I'm trying to get it started it just does not run properly if at all. I have done the timing as instructed by some of the awesome tech post's on here and another site but I am thinking the flywheel may be out?

Is this right does anyone know? Also I'm hearing the speed sensor could be an issue? I have looked on my box and it didn't have one when I pulled it out........ Very confused.

Any help would be fantastic,

Cheers

Ummm, auto? It would have a flex plate not flywheel.

Only EST carby vks ran the cas sensor on the flexplate efi use a hei dissy to pick up signal

The EFI 6cyl run a prehistoric injection system, make sure your fuel pump is working first as it runs of a tachmetric relay that only activates when the engine is above about 200 rpm and are common to fail. Press the valve on the end of the fuel rail to check for a bit of pressure is there. As said it doesnt have a CAS sensor, only the EST versions which are on the carby 202's use it. Just run over all your sensors and make sure they are all plugged in, if i remember right it has a throttle position sensor, a mas air flow sensor, a coolant temperature sensor and an auxiliary air valve somewhere. Im pretty sure it also has a wire to the coil or dizzy so it knows engine speed as well.

Spray some aero start in the intake and see if it gives a kick then you know its the injection side, if not check your ignition system for good spark ect.

Sweet as, thanks for the info everyone.

It runs sometimes after i've reset the timing but it sounds like it's not firing on all cylinders and backfires a crap load, so i'll check all sensors and stuff in the morning and give it another go.

Cheers again.

hace you removed your dissy lately sounds like it may be 180 degrees out

[toxic VL]

yeah tried the right way and then the 180 degree but still won't run properly, I'm thinking if i just replace all injectors, leads and spark plugs and get a new coil, that should fix the issues i'm having, if not atleast i won't have to buy them later.

ALL IS AWESOME!!

Thanks for your help everyone, it turnsed out to be the timing marks on the balancer we're way out thus not being to line it all up properly, she purrs like a kitten now so cheers

Change your balancer, the outer hemisphere has moved from the inner one and will let go in not to long, it will either slide in like mine did and hit the timing cover, or if your unlucky slide off and go through the radiaitor or god knows where else. Your belts will all get noisy and squeaky if it decides to move. Not a pleasant noise let me assure you.
