Helping son work on his car, but at a loss.
97 Protege, w/ 1.5 dohc. Car died on him on the way home one day, checked:
Fuel pump - working (didn't check pressure)
Got spark, all 4 plug wires
Found coolant in cylinder 4.
Removed head, checked at auto shop - warped - resurfaced.
Reinstalled with new head gasket, etc.
All plug reconnected, good gas, etc.
Still have good spark, and getting lots of gas, but turns and turns, no fire.
Per Haynes manual:
Aligned camshafts during reinstall, so timing marks of both were at top.
Cam sprocket installed with "Z" at 12", with timing marks on cams still at 12 o'clock
Pin on crank was centered at 12 o'clock, and timing belt installed, all known timing marks at 12 o'clock.... But I have to wonder about this.
Car has gas, spark, but no fire. No change with starting fluid into intake.
Any ideas?
