ok, update any people.
Compression is 130-140 in all cylinders(just a cheapo halfords one used)

car starts (if im lucky)but I have to push the flap on the metering unit down if i stand any chance of getting it to go. bumping it gets it going though.

I have to hold the throttle on or it stalls

runs like a bag of shit. misfire. Ive got good working lifters in there.

unplugged the actuator rod for the mo to make it easier to turn over. been told it could be the fuel ecu as when i unplugged it, car ran the same??
does this help any bods out there?

any assistance needed as parents on my back and credit cards all maxed, so cant take it to a specialist. would be most appreciated

thankyou
