Currently rebuilding my cossie project and struggling to get it started now it's all back together mechanically.

Engine, sensors and wiring loom all from a running donor vehicle or new items.

Car has a toad alarm system fitted and new MSD fuel pump loom.

The problem is as follows - Turn ignition on, press keyfob to turn off immobiliser, crank engine and the car will try but has not actually fired up...yet!

I have checked the following and they appear ok-

Earth present at ECU pins
Fuel pump voltage present
Fuel at fuel rail
Fuel tank contains 20 litres of new fuel
Good spark on all 4 plugs
Firing order correct
All electrical connectors in the engine bay connected


Things I have looked at but still not confirmed 100% -

Crank pulley & sensor...after attempting to check the gap was around 0.6 - 0.8mm I noticed that one of the teeth on the pulley is smaller than the other 3, roughly 0.5mm smaller in height. Is this normal? The pulley and sensor both came off a running car I used for several weeks.

Suggestions Welcome!

Thanks

Brad

 

can you here the fuel pump prime? if not then that's the first port of call.

depending if its 2wd or 4wd, its not something simple like the cut of switch in the spare wheel well, that's often a common one that trips and prevents starting

 

Is there fuel getting in?

 

Yep fuel pump priming and running as it should and cut off switch ok too. Going to recheck the timing later, I think it may be 180 degrees out.

Thanks

 

Yeah, the plugs are wet when you remove them.

Thanks

 

Sorted now, timing was 180 deg out, fired straight away once corrected.

Missed that sound!
