S2k_razy

Ap1 S2000 cranks but won't start. The car would stay on only if I give it a little gas, as this happens the car shakes and makes a bit of a bogging noise, like its hesitaiting to start up, with a little back fire. The moment I let go of gas it dies. Only stays up if I hold the gas pedal right after I press start button.

ALL I DID WAS CHANGE THE TCT SEALS.
*FORGOT TO PUT WORM, SMALL SPRING, PISTON IN.
**STARTED IT UP TWICE.
***TOOK IT APART AGAIN.
****READJUST IT BACK WITH 'ALL PARTS' OF THE TCT.
*****CHAIN WAS TIGHT NOT LOSE.

*New sparks*

Some say it's my battery?
"But my battery's still new. Jumped it and everything for 10 min. Still no results."

Some say my valves are bent?
"But my car was sitting the whole time, only at 2000rpm when start up."

Some say my timing chain is off? "But it's aligned."

Some say there's a leak in my vacuum?
"But I can't find any."

What could be the problem? help please?!

Habitforming

how many RPMs it turned has nothing to do with bent valves. If the timing jumped while the TCT wasn't installed correctly, you can bend valves at 50rpm.

Please confirm how you confirmed timing was correct. There are several marks you have to all have lined up.

Cam gears aligned, TCD marks aligned, and the crank pulley, arrow marks the white line

Yellow yellow yellow not white or red, yellow. Lol.

The crank pulley TDC mark is white on the S2000.

if you cranked it while the TCT was not intact, you might have instant bent valves.

Do a leakdown.

This sounds like the potential for a big ouch! uch:

It only takes a second with these high compression engines...


I hope it isn't bent valves.

The S2000 is an interference engine. Even turning the crankshaft by hand without the TCT in place can bend the valves.
