Any help appreciated,

My xr4i TT started to splutter and chug last week.I managed to get home but then it wouldnt start.
I knew the fuel pump wasnt the best so i changed it for a second hand one that i had .But the car wont start,seems to be priming ok,the fuel is getting through as the plugs where soaked.
Checked the relay,and it had a couple of dry joints so sorted that.
Cleaned the plugs ,let it dry out over night and still no good seems to want to start but wont get there????
running out of ideas other than another fuel pump maybe,if thats the problem??

 

no one

 

I NO OF A FEW GOOD SCRAP YARDS LOCAL IF THATS ANY HELP IF NOT A MATCH AND PETROL WORK WELL

 

have you checked for a spark clive?

fuel filer?

plunger stuck on fuel distribution block?

steve

 

has a spark steve ,wouldnt know where to find a plunger mate ???
Karl had a look and has now suggested a box of matches

 

well u cant blame me ?

cos i havent driven it !!!

 

try some new plugs clive, Fuel really does kill them and cleaning them doesn't help.

steve

 

oooooh


sheel live again mate ,


lets hope so with all the dosh uve chucked at it lately fella

 

will get some ,the dizzy that didnt turn up is getting sorted now will have it for the weekend hopefully

 

nice one, that should make a difference aswell

steve

 

diference it should ,but it was running so ther is a problem to be found mate ??

 

so changed the plugs yesterday but the bat was flat so have had to charge it over night.
Checked the plunger and thats ok ,getting fuel to the injecters.Got a spark.
Bloody dizzy didnt turn up so thats not good ,but it was running for a month with a standard one so it should now theoreticaly
Will pop out in a bit and start havind a look at starting the bloody thing.
Anyone think of what else could be checke or what the problem may be as it is bugging me now

 

cam belt slipped a tooth mate maybe


if theres fuel AND a spark then it should start UNLESS the timing is out,,,,, check the bottom pully and see if its loose or any tabs come off it

 

cheers will do mate off out to look now

 

You checked for air leaks mate as its on K-Jet tronic crap, might be worth trying a compression test too. Turbo with vacume advance

 

bri you are too tech head mate ,vacume advance??

 

started straight up ,just a but lumpy as the dizzy aint turned up having a fiddle with the original to calm it down

 

why was i thinking its a cossie engine

 

Now clive been checking me auto data the hydra carbon been as hi wont be helping because of the module on the dizzy aint the rite size which we now it will be burning the plugs out we were getting a spark before but mite not be enough to fire up fuel was sokeing the plugs putting the new plugs in has helped but we need that DIZZYYYY.

 

the git wont answer his phone ,if it wasnt so far away i would go for the fooker
