Hey guys, I cant seem to start my new engine. Its turning over and definately getting fuel. I have put dialectic grease on just about all terminals and cleaned them as best I can, taken the cas and ptu off and swapped them for another set to double check it aint them. All the coil packs definately worked fine when it was last running it also has new irridum plugs. any other suggestions??
fuel definately pressurised the line? Injectors "ticking" while cranking? (screwdriver test?) ...also, have you got a timing light handy? double check the PTU and coil pack lines are all working by connecting an induction timing light to one of the coil pack lines just before the coil pack connector to see if it's firing while turning over the starter. Either that or pull a coil pack and spark plug out and watch it earth out on the body while cranking. This will confirm that you are in fact getting both fuel AND spark. Then we can look deeper from there. btw, have you checked for error codes with ignition on as yet?
Thanks benny, I may have time to look again tommorow if I am unlucky enough. car is on other side of town at the moment 40 mins away. perhaps I should just give in and trailer it to eric, he seems to love working on them lol.
If you can't get it to fire, give me a call. Would be a good idea to get a check over of the install before you get to excited.
Will do eric. I think I may just organise to have it taken to your shop soon. I was going to get a new wiring harness from coz first. but i am so keen to hear her fire up.
