Default Zvh rs turbo efi escort mk4 wont start.

Hi guys i hope you are you well and keeping safe. I need some real help and advise here. I purchased an escort mk4 sleeper with a bere 1.8 zvh engine with t3 turbo attached to it from my mate. I recently fitted an efi manifold to it and changed the injectors to beige.

I recently tried to do everything on a budget to get the car running. Recently fitted an ofac engine loom in with an ofac ecu. Heres the fun part. Engine turns but doesnt fire up. Changed the spark plugs to new and tested spark which it has but still same problem. Then i purchased a spare edis and map sensor from ebay that didnt do the job. Fuel pump has already been bypassed so theres fuel going into the rail. Injectors just dont want to open up. The car only runs on easy start/ soon as i stop spraying it cuts right out. This is driving me mad now.

Iv followed the rs bible diagram and tried that and still doesnt want to fire all the way. I purchased a second ofac engine loom aswell and tried that, changed the efi loom twice aswell and still nothing from the injectors they just dont want to pulse.

Checked the ecu in my mates car starts up fine. I spent so much money on this now and iv ran out of options i dont know what to do.

The rest of the car electrics loom inside is fine inc headlights indicators etc etc.

Any help advise will be so helpfull. Il upload pictures today. Thank you for your support people. 😊

May be worth getting a credible auto electrician round for an hour or two to diagnose. May save a lot of time and money in the long run matey.
