Well spent the whole of sunday and this evening putting the silver NA back together with the new plenum and intake pipes on.

 

Finished putting all the pipework back on again, airfilter, etc went to turn over and it just kept turning with the occasional thrum then nothing. It just won't catch.

 

I can't work out what it can be. So many bloody connections every where i don't really know where to start :(

 

Any clues of what order to check everything?

 

I'm pretty sure i've put all the coil pack and injector connectors back in the right order, they're all a certain length and the age of the wires meant they sat in a fixed position so can't see me getting that wrong

You had the cas plug off? may be a dirty connection.Worth going back over all the connections to make sure they are clean and secure.Usually something daft in my experience.

That's what i'm thinking, must be something simple. Just annoying as i start this year's drag racing challenge on Sunday and it would have been good not to be having to use the metro to get my reaction time for the day :(

this happened to me after my rebuild, first check the injector connections squirt some wd in them, then the ptu connections (give them a squirt) plus the coil pack connectors & cas, if still no go it may be fludded (dont take much) so pull the fuel pupmp fuse & turn engine over for 10 seconds, put fuse back & give a try::::

 

if still no go i found i had an air lock in the fuel pipes going to the pressure regulaters so disconected the pipes & crank over till you get fuel up there...but i'm sure it will be solved before you get this far!!!!

im no mechanic but with a little process of elimination you get a long way...good luck!!

That's great mate cheers, just hope i have enough time to sort it out and get it on the road by saturday evening
