I finally was able to start the engine on my S15 Jimmy 2WD after 2 years. The engine was pulled due to an Oil Pan leak and morphed into painting the front clip and modifying the Engine.

I had issues with a rough idle, fuel line leaking and low pressure. I was able to correct the fuel issues but the rough idle I was not able to resolve. I thought maybe I had a bad cylinder. I did a compression test and the results on the #3 & 5 was weird. I had no compression at all. I did not trust my readings. I pulled the heads and I found the main reason for my rough idle. My crankshaft pully has two timing marks. I used the wrong mark for setting TDC. I corrected the TDC mark, re-installed the Heads and I was still running rough and setting code 42. (EST) The code 42 was due to a loose distributor connector. I took the air cleaner off and inspected the injectors and noticed one of the connectors for the injectors was not connected properly. The vehicle is running great. I was able to set the timing to spec. The car is setting a code 13 for the O2 Sensor. I installed a new sensor and the is still setting code 13. I should be able to resolve the Code 13 by following the factory service manual.
S15 Jimmy Started and ran after 2yrs & Mods.
