i removed the egr from my old fiesta si whilst i was doin a head gasket on it, now eventualy after geting round to doing it it wont start? theres plenty o spark and winds over very quick as before, will i need to put it back on? or can i by pass it sum how? any help wud be grately apreciated

 

unlikely EGR removal is the problem......doesn't really do anything in that respect.

Injectors working?

 

on my old 1992 xr3i i tried disconnecting the egr on it and it wouldnt start and i even tried running the engine and disconevcting the multi plug and it would just die but i am sure there must be a way of getting around it. i did it on my rs 2000 with no probs

 

Presumably you are blocking off the connections the EGR previously used?

 

yeah blocked them off, just took it of caus herd the rs 2000 revd better without it and thot id try it out on the ald fezzer, il stik it bak on c how it goes

 

i done it on a fiesta si with no problems at all just removed all the egr system and broght the proper blanks for the mainifold, you sure you have got a good seal on the blanks

 

is there any leaks on the inlet side of things though, even if the exhaust manifold wasnt blanked off i would expect it to run but obviously it would sound like a bag of nails!

No engine requires EGR to run there must be something else at fault

 

hi still no luck, gona try towing it nn try startin it thn haha, can see me ending up puting a 2 litre in the lil cu*t

 

it wont be the egr valve. you will have knocked or disconnected something while doing the egr. check all the connections, pipes etc around where you were working.
oh.... and learn to spell!!
