pull the coil wire and have someone crank it while watching the spray of the injectors, the should pulse somewhat. flow fluctuates. you should see it "fire". should also fan out.
check and make sure there is vacuum to the map sensor, the port on the throttle body plugs up with carbon.

tug on the grounds make sure the crimp didn't break connection when loosening or tightening.

there should also have been a ground IIRC on the back of the passenger head, make sure you got it back bolted down. not the ground strap to the body either, computer ground the breaks out of the harness.

check those and let me know if you need more suggestions of what to check next.

sounds like the map sensor vacuum hose is unhooked or plugged at the throttle body.
or a ground is loose or wires pinched that have an injector hung open.


the map sensor is that square box in the upper left of your picture just above the egr valve that is missing the vacuum hose.

are you sure you have the firing order right?

In that picture I did have the hose off of the egr valve but it was on when I was trying to start it. There is also a hose going from the map sensor to the back of the carb. I am done ****ing with it tonight but I will check to see if it is plugged possibly.

Yeah I almost missed that when putting it back together but I did get it. It is a cable on the back of the passenger head just as you described.

oh I wouldn't be worried about not hooking up the EGR hose at all LOL. they run better with it closed.

I used to just block that line off.


its just flooding for some reason. could only be a couple things

a black wire, thin? maybe two into one eyelet?

not the thick strap...

its not 180 out on the distributor is it?

ive seen them run if its off exactly 180 degrees, just like you are describing. flooding wont stay running...

This part is intriguing because before I had it all put together I checked my distributor when I thought I had the first cylinder at TDC and it looked like I had it 180 degrees out of whack so I flipped them around thinking I just screwed up the first time. Maybe I was wrong and I need to flip them back. I will give it a try and find out.

easy to do.

I would just wire it 180 to see then pull the dist and do it right if it makes it run.

Let me start by saying I love all you car guys on here. You have helped me a few times to fix things.

Now on to my problem that I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions on what to do. I have a 2011 Nissan Murano LE. The headlight went out and to remove the old one you have this U shaped metal clip that the ends of the U hook under this rabbit ear looking pieces of plastic. Well one of the sides of the pieces of plastic snapped off and I can't seem to find the piece. It is a horrible design with the plastic and was just wondering if anyone had any ideas. According to the dealership I would have to replace the entire headlight housing which is $900 and I am not into taking ass poundings. I found a picture online of a similar light housing (not exactly but you will get the idea) but they were smart and made it out of metal. Thanks oh wise car guys.

Junk yard or pull the old one out and use it as a pattern to fabricate a new one out of metal. From the pick, fabricating wouldn't look to be that hard with a vise, drill and dremel tool. You could probably go to the hardware store and buy a "L" bracket if you don't have any scrap lying around and use that as a base. I don't see the point of the saw tooth across the top, other than to rake your knuckles.

Get yourself a curtain rod bracket, the ones for the cheap rods that you'd hang a sheer from or something... like this:

drill a hole in the side without the wings and screw it down...

take a piece of wire and wrap it around the clips to keep them from slipping out your bracket.
