16vt starting issue

[munch8987]

hmmm, i would crank it over a few times then feel the main live to it if it feels ok, do the same and check the earth

if there ok i would say the starters packing up but i would check the lives at the starter see if the solinoid live is breaking down, i might have a starter if it end's up bing the starter

ill be up my unit tomorrow night, so will give this a go, cheers chap

I have been offerd one on fccuk, but i will let you know if that falls through

[munch8987]

Right, got it turning over okish now, starter motor still bliss out every now and again, but now it wont start, will check the timing tonight

Just incase ive been a muppet, but on the fuel rail, which is inlet and. which is outlet?

Also have spark on all 4

4 seconds should be enough to fire it up.
Have you connected the fuel flow and return up the wrong way?

Dont forget this hasnt been started or run in about 8 months, so is bone dry

I hav changed them around once, but will do again just to be sure. Just need someone to confirm what one is what

[sicskate]

Probably worth cranking it over and running some oil/ (petrol?) down the bores?

That is all.

Still no joy

Have diagnosed it to be no fuel getting into the engine, removed a plug today and no smell at all, so the question is, is there meant to be a live or relay for the injectors?

check your getting a live to the fuel pump first.

Yeah, live to the pump, as got fuel in the lines and under pressure

when i had trouble with mine, we sprayed a bit of brake cleaner into the inlet and she fired. So that way we new it was struggling with fuel
