    Hi guys

    I've just done a plenum pull on my zed and it now it wont start. i have rechecked all the connectors and vac lines and everything looks ok. I am getting spark and i have tested to make sure the injectors are firing, there is fuel in the fuel lines.
    Does anyone have any ideas of what else i can check?

    Cheers,
    Brendan

    Keep cranking it over and giving it gas.

    mine did the same thing.... took about 2 mins of cranking the 1st few times.

    I've got it running on a few cylinders now....damn injector connectors:mad: Might order a new wiring harness and clean the connectors a bit more for the time being.

    Cheers guys!

    would definitely try turning it over a few more times.

    mine started first go but i've read in posts its taken some people a number of goes to crank over.

    EDIT: good to hear! definitely invest in some new connectors.

    There is a resultant issue

    here if you keep cranking as the plugs can get wet and foul quite quickly.

    You might fix the original problem (ie: loose connectors etc) but the motor still won't start. You presume the original problem has re-occurred, but the new cause might now be the plugs.

    So if you've been cranking it over for quite a while, best to check a few plugs every so often just so you know there isn't a resultant new 'non start' or 'running on less than six cylinders' cause:rolleyes:.

    Make sure you have the fuel connected the right way. Not like me haha. I had the lines setup backward because I got confused between which was the fuel dampener and which one was the regulator. Because of this, I couldn't hold pressure in the fuel rail for the car to run properly.
