just picked up my H reg escort rs turbo and took it a run this morning the day after i had just driven it up from england back to scotland. it ran sweet and didnt miss a beat all the 200 miles it was driven up and this morning decided to spit oil all over the engine via the oil cap

so engine conked out at a set of lights (spun down slowly and didnt just do it abruptly so dont think it had totally seized)

so went got some oil and topped her up! went to turn the key and was welcomed to the glorious sound of the starter just purring away rather than my frickin engine!!

checked that im getting fuel (3 month old cossie pump) and theres no blockages on the air side. and the oil hasnt leaked out anywhere??
the water doesnt stink either and has retained level.

anyone any the wiser here cos im am snookered and im going to have to go back to my DIS astra until i can get it sorted. SOONER rather than later i hope

 

come on folks someone must have an idea?? dicovered that im getting fuel to the cold start injector and not to the other 4. puzzled and annoyed haha

 

So just to clarify is your engine turning?

 

yeah the engine is turning over fine. got a spark on all cylinders. theres fuel getting to the regulator but it just wont go through to the injectors??

i heard something about a cut off switch in the boot? but that cud just be garbage.

any ideas?

its going to the garage tomorrow but the guys like 25-30 so not sure how clued up he will be and i dont want him ripping the head of the block or something haha
