Ive been doing some work on a friends car for him.
Its a 1996 Fiat Punto GT turbo.
Fitted a new headgasket for him.
Basically what happened was he wanted some head work doing, bigger valves, ported and polished and a high lift cam fitting.
I removed the head and sent it to an engineering firm down south.
Took several weeks turn around for the head to come back. It turned up monday, I fitted the head back to the block, new gaskets, seals etc etc.
Now its all together I find the battery flat. Not a problem as I have jumper pack.
The engine turns over but now has no spark and no fuel.
The car has a toad alram fitted but this seems to be working fine as it wont let you turn the engine over unless you disarm it.
Now Ive noticed the key code that shows up on the dash for a few seconds when you switch the ignition on and then should go out doesnt even light up at all.
Ive checked all the fuses, relays etc.
I rechecked the wiring loom in the engine bay against another GT turbo, this is fine.
I fitted new terminals the 3 earth wires on the engine and made sure they have a good contact yet still nothing works.
When i switch the igntion on I get about 2 volts to the fuel pump and relay. If I use my test lamp to the switchable side of the relay it powers the relay up and the fuel pump works.

Any ideas, Im pulling my hair with it it now.
Next step after the holidays is to ring a sparky to look over it if no joy here.
Thanks.
THAT PART IS NOW SORTED, BUT.....

New problem:
I bought another chipped key and code box, now fuels and sparks so that bits sorted.

Now I have a new problem.
Since fitting the head back to the car, its reluctant to start and sounds low on compression.
Comp test shows average of 100psi across all cylinders which is low.
An engineering firm has fitted new valves, ported the head, shimmed and fitted a fast road cam.
Ive put the head back on the car ands its hard to start.
Once started its very flat to drive.
When it started it was smoking alot but then as its warmed up, its clearing up.
When the fan cut in the engine cut out and hasnt started since.
Any sensible suggestions please, Im so sick of it now.
Thanks.
