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! |

Welcome to the boards! A real GT-Four in Chicago, eh? We have a couple of meets a year at Starved Rock. You'll have to come to a few of them. We may be having a small get together soon in the city as well.
If you have spark and fuel, you should have ignition. Did you happen to check the timing when you checked the belt? It's possible that the belt skipped a tooth. Is your check engine light on when you turn the key on? You said it was running fine until you gave it gas, so it was running and then died? Smoking grounds are never good. Was it a stock ground? Corroded or pretty clean? Going based off of the ground, I'd start checking fuses to make sure everything is good. Post pictures of your new car.  I call dibs on a ride in this beast!

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. Ill get some pics of it |
