Re: 1998 S2 L400 V6 3.0 6G72 Not starting, mystery! HELP

UPDATE: SOLVED I've been meaning to update ya'll on what actually happened. And thankfully it was a clear Ah-HA moment. As described above, I proceeded to pull off the intake manifold and change the plugs/wires. Put it all back together... No difference. So it was not some random massive IGN ground...

I thought it might be time for your update. I've been following your post. I like the way you've described your problems and the solutions you've tried. You are one persistent dude! Someone on the site should be able to give you ideas - I have a diesel L300 so my knowledge would be pretty useless. ...

Re: 1998 S2 L400 V6 3.0 6G72 Not starting, mystery! HELP

So an update on timing, Tested timing during cranking with fuel relay unplugged (to help save the new starter), and timing is way off. Coil 1&4 (center coil) with timing light hooked up shows around 240 degrees advanced (or 120 deg retarded). huh?. It was very difficult to find, hiding behind th...

Re: 1998 S2 L400 V6 3.0 6G72 Not starting, mystery! HELP

Verified that the main crank pulley and harmonic balancer are fine, the mechanical aspects of timing appear perfect, the main pulley and right cam sprocket timing marks are perfect. Belt seems due for a change soon, but cannot see any reason to believe that these are the cause, or that internal engi...

Re: 1998 S2 L400 V6 3.0 6G72 Not starting, mystery! HELP

Scanner cannot do JOBD. Returned. Ok, latest update. Picked up a new timing light, my old one seemed to have inconsistencies, the pickup seemed to have trouble, found a crack in the pickup. New one is consistent. But that only deepens the mystery. Because the laboured cranking is very hard on the st...

I bought an Innova OBD2 scanning tool, model 3100, and it is unable to establish communication at the port, ignition in the ON position... going to try and clean the port and check for obvious wiring issues there.
??wow?? ... really not catching any breaks.

Hello all, thanks for reading. Ok my main ride (daily, work) has been down now for two months. Here is the rundown on what transpired, and what I have tried, and where I am now. This is very hard without a proper Delica '98 v6 Series 2 manual :/ L400 S2 ('98) V6 has been nearly flawless for 5 years....

Hi Gandalf If the antenna on the passenger side is the one you refer to, that is a curb finder designed to avoid leaving your sidewalls behind. You're right, it's best left retracted, like sleeping dogs... You should have a manual antenna on the drivers side. Looks like a fun project MD :-D Hiya! T...

OK, some pics of the modified OEM panhard bar... made adjustable. Also note the extension welded into the brake hardline brace, just to the left of the diff in the first pic, and another brake hardline brace extension near the top of the wheel in pic #2: http://www.mk15.ca/MJK_iPage_Website/Delica/S...

L400 2" Lift Kit - $350 (PRICE DROP)

Hey there.
Just thought I'd say thanks Stefan for the good product and chat, got it installed, and in combination with CCA HD rear springs it was a substantial lift. Love it.
