Hi allI just purchased a 2005 fiesta zetec s with a engine with a holee in it conrod through the block but says duratec on the air box
So on advice I bought a 1.6 zetec from a early focus but it was advertised as a 98 to 04 but from phoning afew places it will fit
So I got the old engine out and put every sencer wnd auxiliaries etc on the new engine but its a totally different engine*I.e the head is different and the duratec air filter lugs cant be put on*So I carried on regardless and got it back in all plumbed in and now it wont start it turns over fast and it smells of petrol and has a strong spark
So please can some one let me know if this engine is the right one or have I just waisted a day ddoing this*
Thanks in advance

 

turning over fast should be a clue

 

sounds like got no compression m8 do a compression test on it and see what you get

 

Completely different engine! If you have the engine fitted in place as you say you do then that's a massive portion of work done. But it sounds like you will blow a small crater in the surround vicinity if you get this turned over! So don't bother

 

Did you check it had the right starter motor or flywheel?? Last thing you want is to not have one

 

Wrong ecu for sensors and engine fitted?

 

hi chaps it was a totally wrong engine the mupet who sold it to me who come across as the boss but the boss was out doing something else so when I told him what happened he said it the wrong one but then I said I payed cash and a want it back had no idea as the money and deal wasn't loged so I think some one will be getting the boot but im well peed off as it took me all day to do it

but on the other hand I have a 2008 reg engine with 32000 miles on the clock with full service history for Ł300 well happy and runs like a dream

thanks chaps for all the advice

 

So no probs then?

 

all good cheers its a very good engine

thanks

 

Another happy customer

 

So what was wrong with it then in the first place?

 

I bought it off my mate as at 85 mph he shot the con rod through the front of the block and number 2 piston in about 9 pieces apparently he filled his pants up lol

only bought it as he was gonna scrap it and its to good to go to the scrap yard

its now a perfectly good car not as nice as my old series 1 but will do as a run around

 

What I meant was what was wrong with the conversion? Why didn't it work first time?
