a FS-ZE an FS-DE share almost everything, with the exception of the higher compression ratio and I believe a different cam. I think stock injectors should fine in this situation. I do remember reading somewhere to make the most out of the ZE you would need the ECU from it too which is a whole...
5th gear shouldn't be a problem at all, its the easiest gear to get to seeing you don't even have to crack the whole case open. Just put in a 5th from a 626 for a lower cruising RPM.
Now if you want to go crazy you can always get straight cut gears from PAR, but that depends on how big the...
^^ only do that if you're confident on disassembling/reassembling the tranny.
If you do, DO NOT use an actual hammer to get roll pins out, you WILL bend something. Learned that the hard way.
This would be a perfect opportunity to get an M-factory LSD or weld a new MSP lsd and drop it in.
I haven't checked any I/O, following the Symptom Troubleshooting Manual (Section 01-03B) under the NO.6 CRANKS NORMALLY BUT WILL NOT START [FS]. It gives a list of possible causes:
No battery power supply to PCM
• Air leakage from intake-air system
• Open PCM GND or vehicle body GND
• Improper...
So tried to use a scanner and came up as error, checked key off voltage to ECU and good, key on voltage and also good. Checked all grounds pins at ECU connector and also good.
So does anyone else concur with faulty ECU?
See that theory would make sense, you're right it is an undersized pulley but teeth gear is the same exact size. Before the zoom zoom boom, that crank pulley and gear teeth were exactly the same. so if it ran before why would it not now?
As in signal from the CKP? haven't checked for that.
Question is how can I check that without a fancy scanner/o-scope?
Can I simply hook up a multimeter to the equipment side of the CKP plug and see reading when it's cranking?
Original MSP cam gears (has 3 pickups, but so did the ZE) and Unorthodox Racing Crank gear. ZE crank gear was obvious that it would need to be swapped and the shipper of the ZE so kindly added a note saying that the crank gear might need to be swapped.
Here is the current pulley setup
