ive got a xr2i 1.8 16v me and a friend rebuilt it with all new gaskits and piston rings. ive set the cams up the way the Haynes manual says but it does not run right got a compression test done they all ok. number four wont fire right its has new lead and plugs.


greatful for any help......

 

Is number 1 OK?

 

yeah number 1 is fine.

 

Well it is a fuel problem then. Check the injector is firing with a Noid light

 

wots a Noid light??? thanks for the info.

 

A NOID light will NOT tell you it is firing, it WILL tell you it should be as electricity is reaching the injector.
A noid light is just like a little electrical test light that goes in the injector lead/s.
Try swapping the injector around with another known working one from say pos 1 then see if problem moves to no1 if it does, you know the injector is duff, it could be the(injector) lead but this way will tell you without having to buy a noid light.

will try that thanks

 

Of course it wont, but it is a GOOD place to start, an electrical problem is MORE likely than a blocked injector
