right finally got the engine in my escos to fire but its very lumpy and lots of white smoke - plugs very black /wet. like its over fuelling, now started it agian earlier and removed plug leads while idling ( just) and number 1 makes no difference at all when out.the rest do . any ideas or is it engine out time....

 

swap the plugs/leads over from ones know to be working to the cyllinder with the problems to rule out electrics.

 

Check the basics first, all sensors plugged in, valve timing, and phase timing too, check especially the cts is plugged in.
