the 3dr will now turn over, has spark but no fuel

the FPR has pissed fuel out everywhere but its a bit dark to see exactly where from, and im done for the day now!

i think its probably a wiring error....

arse

 

How long you been building the sierra now Dan ?

Mine is still broke

Steve

 

What reg u using dan? have a spare 4x4 cos 1 if you need it

Paul

 

Good news its sparking at least mate, shows the ecu is seeing the crank sensor properly at least.

 

Chip i hear your doing the map on this one for a pizza

good man

Dan will have to let me know i will pop over and say hi

Paul

 

i think the fpr is an xs power job, and i imagine its leaking cos i didnt check how tight the fittings are as it was getting dark. same reasone it pissed oil out the turbo feed pipe as that wasnt tight either

i have since foud that on a cossie the phase sensor controls the fuel. and when you do away with that you use a cam sensor... now my cam sensor is not connected, as i copied the old wiring loom from my escort that i was running the s8 on, and that didnt seem to use it...

so i think i have found the issue!

 

chip, well it was sparking... if it was in time i do not know lol

ill have another look tomoz

 

steve, had the car 4 years, its been off the road 3 lol

 

come on fudgey chop chop fella

 

Just found out its on EDIS, so the ecu might not be seeing a crank signal after all.

Stick a timing light on it, if it stays at 10 degrees the EDIS is getting no signal from the ECU as thats the default setting

 

where do get timing lights from these days lol?

 

ANY motor factors, or halfords

 

ok cool, ill have a look!

the ecu was turning on the fuel pump tho, as it shut off after a few seconds

 

right, just had another look. with the ecu powered up there is 12.5v on all injectors.
and it had 1 bar of fuel pressure

so the ecu switches the ground to the injectors, but what triggers this?

its a phase sensor on a cossie, but this is a zetec lol, it has a cam sensor but this is not plugged in, as there is no plug for it.

but the zetec lobe is different to a cossie, as they use 2 points 90 degrees apart and the zetec only had 1.
