right the saff has had every new sensor just had a rebuild and has even had another ecu in.the bugger still wont start up when it has been running.it is doing my head in.but if you bump start it, it fires straight away.im thinking now that it must be a dodgy wire in the loom any ideas?

 

anyone??

 

i had something like this on my saph...... neverfound out the prob, but i did find out how to start it.....

i had a switch for the fuel pump in the car. make sure its on, start turning the car over, switch the switch off for a second ( whilst still turning car over ) then switch it back on and it started


if u get that

the only thing i could hink of is vapour lock

 

cheers mate it sounds like a good idea.

 

let me no if it works

 

ill let the world know cos its driving me mad

 

do a compression test, I had the exact same problem on a 2wd and it turned out a couple of vales were not sealing correctly

 

mmmmmmmmmmmmm worth a try pop round somtime it will not take long........................did he have the valves out??????

 

its also possible to slightly bend the valves when re fitting the head

 

anything yet mate ?

 

I had the same problem a few years back. Turned out to be something to do with the crank/sensor ?

 

the crank sensor has been changed although it wasnt a brand new one, boost madthe car is still sitting there with a flat battery,no interest at the minute with it,one night this week i think ill put a battery on and see my mate to do a compression test.

 

just give me a shout

 

anything ?

 

boost madputting a battery on in the morn and see how it goes. [

 

i have exactly the same problem (except my car isnt the same) mine is a xr2i running a tall block conversion , i dont know how ur car engine bay is laid out but on mine the starter is close to the manifold/downpipes and i have been told the heat from the exhaust affects the performance of the starter motor, could that be an issue with urs, i have just ordered a starter motor heat shield to see if that solves it??

 

boost mad
hey are u still breakin the cossie?? i need a 2wd engine bay loom..

pm if you still have it many thanks
