Ok here goes.


Cars Been running fine, no miss fire or problems.

Today as it was nice went and washed the car, started the car and ran it, running fine. Again no miss fire or problem, So i washed down the engine bay as there was some oil in parts and it was dirty, all ok. Ran it for a while and was fine.. Went and turned it off, right after checked that it started and it was fine.. now i turned it off for a while and started it again, started with a miss fire, so i taken the plugs out one by one still problems, then taken them off one by one on the dissy and cleaned them, now it wont start at all...

idears?

 

water inside the distributor cap perhaps

 

dont get too disheartned si, it will be something simple. We checked everything best we could just give it time to dry out and hopefully 2moz it will go.

 

yup, id have a check of the dizzy cap and rotor arm for any moisture thats built up in there from cleaning. dry it out, bit of WD40 to clean it up, refit and try again dude

does sound like something saft like this anyways

 

yeah i had the same problem after cleaning my engine bay.
Was a bit of moisture inside the sensor that sits ontop od the dizzy as they are never a snug fit.

 

will give it ago with some WD40 and try dry them out...

 

so update :

Had to remove all spark plugs, aswell as HTleads. I had them on the line over today and bonnets been off to try dry anything thats left over that maybe wet.

I removed most parts so the engine was bear and cleaned and dryed, now replaced everything and went to replace the HTleads, 1-3-4-2 was what it said in my book, for some reasson it still wont start.

i cant see anything thats still wet and removed most components that make the car run, I know the fuel pump is working as there is fuel going in, Also i know there is spark within the HTleads, again removed the plugs and started it with someone there to tell me if its sparking, repeated this on all 4 plugsleads.

now removed the plugs and they was a fair amount not alot of fuel on the spark plug. from my view that sounds like its fluded.. How can i unflood the system?? without moving the car, plus have i got the Firining order right?? 1342

i tryed it on 1324 and it wanted to fire up but didnt... I cant afford to take it into a garage so im trying to sorce info and maybe some kind help..

 

1342 is correct according to autodata no 1 lead on you dizzy cap is bottom left if this makes sense then going anti clockwise for the rest.


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> 24
leads should look like this 13




if the cylinders are flooded prob best way I can suggest to unflood is leave the spark plugs out for a few hours hopefully the excess fuel will evaporate

 

2 4

1 3

 

will make a diagram so you can correct me if im wrong

 

all done, that above is incorrect....

 

top right on that diagram(4) should be 1 then goin anti clockwise 3 4 2

 

only if you posted sooner

that is correct

 

is it running now?
