Cant get truck running

If anyone has any ideas please let me know. I really need this thing running this weekend.

First off I have spark, and fuel in the rail. The truck will turn over all day with the starter, but won't start.

I have my ostrich plugged in. But have 2 questions:

1. how is the blank chip supposed to be installed on the memcal unit? I noticed that there is a little half circle indentation on one end of the chip. Does this mark get installed on the outside of the board or on the in-side near the middle.

2. when installing the memcal on the g1 adapter. are the pins on the g1 inserted on the blank chip side of the memcal or the other.

I installed turnerpro rt off the disk that came with my motes equipment. I then downloaded the latest XDF & ADS, from code59 and installed them in the tunerpro file as instructed. I then downloaded Dig's bin file for 60lbs, etc. I pluged into the ostrich and uploaded the bin. The progress bar at the bottom of the screen says the bin was loaded successfully. I try and start the truck and it turns over but doesn't try to start. I don't think the injectors are firing and the fuel isn't making it into the cylinders. I'm guessing i'm missing something uploading the bins correctly to get it to run. If anyone can let me know if i'm doing something wrong i would greatly appreciate the help.


Thanks in advance,
Adam

Re: Cant get truck running

Are you sure you don't have a G1 adapter, the g2 is a memory adaptor ans the g3 is a switching adapter.
You are either going to use a chip on g1/g3 with memcal on it or the ostrich on g1/g3 with memcal on it.

Gotcha the chip is installed correctly, i got the truck to turn over and i'm getting some popping, but it still will not start. Fuel is good, spark is good. Any recommendations on what else i could look at?

I pulled the #1 spark plug and set the motor to tdc and reinstalled the distributor. This got me the popping while turning over. it hadn't done that before. Would not having the egr, intercooler pump, or boost solenoid pluged in make any difference? They are the only 3 plugs under the hood right now not being used. How do i make sure these are turned off in $59? I'll be back on it all day tomorrow/D-day.

How is your timing? You may need to move your distributer.

I can't remember after 2 years. Do you start the truck with the timing underdash wire connected, then remove to set dwell, or remove it and try and start the truck?

Re: Cant get truck running

air, fuel, spark...... you have air so that leaves spark.....if you have that ....take the intercooler off and spray some starting fluid, or gas into the intake....if it fires and dies, you have a fuel delivery issue. if it doesnt you have a spark/ timing issue. re-check for top dead center on #1 in distributor.

Re: Cant get truck running

Got it running it was a timing issue. Reset the distributor and it fired right up. The 422 sounds like a monster.
