escos not been started in 3 months, new battery, new fluids, new filter and petrol , plugs etc, plugs are sparking. but getting soaked but it wont catch , list of things I need t work through ? ta

 

Are you getting a realy good spark.Have you put new petrol in.

 

looked a good spark - new petrol also, ???? what else ??

 

do you have an aftermarket alarm/immobiliser?

As you say new battery, disconecting the suply can will make the immobiliser shut off the fuel pump!?

just a thought.

 

neo - no alarm on it - fuel pump deffo working as changed the fuel filter and have dried the spark plugs enough times tonight. immobilizer i thinks ok - red and yellow light on when you turn key and then they both go out??? what is the correct proceedure with the escoc immob ?

 

i dont think there is a procedure for the standard imob? the imob is controlled buy the key i think?

Never had any issues with mine, and it was standard imob.

Really difficult to say, prob something really simple.

have you rechecked all wires are where they should be, and double checket the new ht leads are all secure and fitted in the right order.

 

Is your escort the big turbo model.I would check the 3 black electrical plugs near your pas bottle.Also check your phase sensor inside the dizzy cap under the creamish colour cover.Your water temp sensor might be faulty too.It might be overfueling your engine that much that its causing it not to start.

 

give the cps a wiggle too!

 

try a new set of plugs mate,i had same trouble with my ibiza was just turning over plugs were soaked kept drying but no joy tried another set fired up straight away

 

I had champion plugs in mine when i got my cossie.I took them out and threw them.I put ngk irudims in about 2 years ago and they have been spot on.

 

you didnt have a clogged up fuel filter? and in the past someone whacked the fuel pressure up on a dyno to get round it, now you changed the filter it is flooding? long stot!!

 

plugs are brand new, will have to go thru everything I suppose

any more suggestions would be appreciated though ....

 

This has usually been the problem on our 4x4 when it cranks but doesn't start

that dont matter mate as if they have been soaking wet it can kill them pretty quick
