ive put my new engine in now, connected everything up
but its not starting
its turning over nicely, got a spark, timed up right, and theres no air leaks
anyone got any ideas as its stumbled me
cheers in advance

 

are the fuel line the right way round? easy one to make.

 

yea they are, im getting petrol to spark plugs so carnt be that any other ideas??

 

If you have got petrol, spark, and compression it should start or at least try!
If timing is correct as you say and there are no air leaks then adjust the idle mixture screw, might need a little less fuel or a little more.

 

Correct spark plug gap leads from dissy correct

joe

 

idle mixture screw

 

il try the idle mixture screw tomorow
as for the spark plugs, they came from my old engine as they were new and they was fine in that, so carnt see it being that??
would the idle mixture screw not let it start then??

 

Have you def got feul up there? had same prob when Put my new engine in. Crack off all the injectors and crank it untill there is deff feul coming from each 1. as stated above if you got compression, feul and spark, and your timing is correct it shoud at least try to start.
good luck

 

okdokie, il take the injectors of tomorow then to double check ive got fuel coming through, cheers

 

Just losen the pipes on the top. I would come over and give you a hand tomoz but I got a clutch to do on a fiesta. horay no rest for the wicked!

 

oh rite so i dont take them right out, just loosen them??, thats not a problem, thanks for the offer tho joys of having fords i suppose lol

 

yeah just loosen them off. the nut on the fuel pipe. Its not my fiesta its a private job

 

oh rite i get ya, so i wont need to replace nank either?? sorry for the questions, oh i see

 

[quote=turbobill;5023785]so i wont need to replace nank either??

Lost me mate

 

if im just loosening the injectors to see if petrol squirts through them, dont the injectors have a o ring and the copper washer?? if so do i need to replace them

 

yes the injectors have O-rings but you dont have to remove the injectors. there are C shape clips holding in injectors do not touch these. just loosen the nut on the end of the feul pipe on the top of each injector. I think there 15mm. dnt take them right off just loosen them. then turn the car over and bleed all the air out.

once feul starts to come out tighten the nuts back up and re-try to start it. got it
give me a call tomoz if you get stuck.

 

aah right i got ya now mate, cld you pm me ya number tho just in case i do get stuck,
but i think i understand now
thanks alot for the advice mate

 

still not running anyone got anyother ideas, it seems slow at turning over, like the starter motor aint spining fast enough, but it came of my old engine which started up fine

 

Where abouts in Kent are you Bill ??

 

im in bethersden mate

 

all sorted now thanks to tom

 

What was up with it pal ????

 

turned out to be the earths, with a good clean up tomorow, that will solve it,

 

No Probs Bill.
Happy to help.
