Alrite guys ive just rebuilt my 1989 s2 escort rs turbo and it wont start, cranks over fine enough and getting a spark aswell as fuel to metering unit, have heard it run for a bit then died, has anyone got labeld pictures or diagrams of where injector lines go onto metering head as mine are braided and can go anywhere its just a k - jetronic so i know there is an order, i have been told 2 different sparking orders aswell so can someone tell me whats going on with that and where they go on dizzie? and anything else you can think of that may stop it from starting would be a boost aswell as this problem has kept me off the road 3 days now and its annoying
thanks

 

Mods put into rs turbo room minght get an answer

 

Start with the injectors from left to right (as you look at them):

Injector 1 - Front Right on metering unit
Injector 2 - Front Left on metering unit
Injector 3 - Back Left on metering unit
Injector 4 - Back Right on metering unit

Hope this helps!

hi doesnt matter what order the fuel lines go on the metering head. try getting someone to crank her over and you hold the metering flap down a tiny bit i had the same problem my was running 9.99%+ fuel when on an emissons machine when it should be 3% on 900rpm (tick over) if you get stuck give me a ring 07891 704931

 

is the timing spot on.

 

Agreed but it's best if they're in the right order as the pipes are 'cut' to length and avoids kinks, over stretching etc. I have found this pic from another thread which i hope helps.



CheeRS,

yea i get what you are saying mate they more or less lay where they go on the metering head
ive just had mine rebuild last week always get teething problems

 

LOL, tell me about it

 

thats why we love them but once they are all set up properly they are a good motor i have a mk4 van rs turbo am looking for either a mk2 xr2 rs turbo or clean series 2 next

 

true words bud! Never had an xr2 but will never be without a S2 (well S2 shell anyway, lol)

 

my injectors are all in right order and i think my plugs are aswell and im gettin fuel to them aswell as plugs had fuel on them last nite wen i took thm owt, it starts then stalls strait away now but havnt gt a clue y?

 

try holding the metering head flap down a little bit while someone turns it over

 

tried that eh, just does the same m8, meaning starts then stalls, only does it sometime though the other times it just cranks, the timing order is 1342 isnt it goin anti clockwise on dizzie with 1 at 1 oclock?

 

i have no idea without having a look mate.

 

Check vacuum/boost hoses matey...

 

try dissconecting the fule pump relay ,remove purple outercasing and resolder any joints that look dry or look like a loose connection

 

did you get it running in the end???? ive got cxactly the same problem wiv my s2

 

Me and my dad started the conversion this weekend. The plan is to convert his old Mk6 rs2000 to in a van.
Here is few pics.

 

I had the same problem years ago when I rebuilt my shell.Engine would start on the key,but would stop as soon as the key was turned back to position 2.Turned out to be a bad earth. Micky

 

prosmifli, i can't see the pics mate. Try putting them on again or is it just me? Be good to see them!

CheeRS, Chris

 

1342 anti clock wise looking the dizzy cap. Set engine to TDC and remove cap, rotor arm will be pointing to number 1. Go from there.
