Can anybody help please. i've just finished putting my 2wd saff back together after fitting all new gaskets, had head skimmed etc. Got cams, crank pulley and distributer TDC. but it will not run. It turns over and sparks, fuel is coming through but will not run. Can anybody help please..

 

Does it try to start?

 

Not realy it pops abit but that is it

 

By pop do you mean backfiring?

 

No backfiring just like a light popping when it's being turned over every now and then.

 

Where is the fuel getting through to? Do you mean the injectors are spraying or there is fuel at the end of the pipe?

 

No the fuel is getting through ok as i've taken the plugs out and the fuel is laying on top of the pistons.

 

Struggling to type on the mobile

 

Mark
just a thought mate
have u got.the injector plugs on the correct injectors ?

Come on guys , any more ideas as we have run out

told u it wasn't a good idea to get involved with cossies Lol

 

you sure you've got the dizzy timed correctly? using the lug on the pulley not the groove? and the centre of the rotor arm lined up the mark on the housing?

 

Yup all the injector plugs are on the right way round, and the rotor arm is center to the mark and the pointer on the distributor pulley is pointing at the distributor. But still no joy.

 

Sorry to sound stupid, but not sure what you mean by not having a needle sealed

 

Me neither Mark

Will.call u soon

 

Might be worth doing a compression check and make sure the pick-up in the dizzy is ok ive had this problem with mine recently and it was duff also double check all wiring is correct

 

are plug leads on in right order?

 

Thanks for all the suggestions i've tried everything but run out of time, as it is now on the trailer and i'm dropping it off to martin at reylands in the morning as it's going to be mapped. I will post up the reason for the fault when i know as it may be a help to someone in the future . Cheers Mark

 

What was the issue?

Cheers

 

There was a lug missing from the crank pulley and also an after market chip that no one new about behind the glove box was playing up. so all sorted now and picking it up tomorrow.
