Ive finally got my manual conversion done :-) now i got a deeper problem i left the car on tickover for 10 mins or so then it revved missed black smoked then blue smoked and just before it stopped a tapping noise under the bonnet. Now when i try starting it its sounds like a whirring when it turns over and wont start but fires anyone got any ideas what i should be looking at?:helpsmilie:

No answers :-( shytt hehe

sounds like you sucked a ferrit or something through your engine lol, sorry seriously im not a major techie by any means but check the usual, coil packs, PTU, injector plugs fuses etc to start with check all hoses connections etc etc, see if you spot anything, im sure someone with more knowlege will come along.

 

Good luck

have you adjusted the timing?

Havent done the timing

what did you take off/put back when you did the conversion? ie boost pipes, oil lines?

that will be it then did it run ok till warm then run like crap? the timing changes once warmed up. and its slightly different on a manual to an auto.

really? why do they do that? is it to do with gear ratios or something?

When you say whirring noise does it sound like its spinning over really fast,

 

Sometimes when a car is flooded they spin over really fast and the sound can be similar to the noise you would get when a cambelt as snapped,

 

Check everything at the front of the engine the 4 main turbo pipes and wiring to ptu and cas, when you undone the gearbox mount the engine would of layed back a bit and may have pulled something off at the front,

 

Try unplugging the maf see if it starts then, but it will only rev to i think around 3000rpm. Done some work on mine few years back and cut out wouldnt start again unplugged the the maf sensor fired straight up,

new maf and was fixed but thought it was something i had done and was looking at everything i had touched.

 

If it is spinning over fast and not flooded check cambelt :scared: Really hope not.

 

Shouldnt have to touch timing on conversion, think the difference in timing between auto and manual is with the neutral switch, when you put the car in gear revs raise a little,

 

without the neutral switch when you check timing will be reading 25degrees btdc, {May be wrong on that and sure someone will say if i am}

 

It wont be nothing to do with timing unless you touched it.

will run with manual or auto box.

 

Goodluck hope you sort it mate

Thanks guys ill take a look at it at weekend but i fear zworld here we come yes ive akready replaced the maff yes it turns over really quickly checked the cam etc all are turning :-(

How was the temperature gauge during the 10 minute tick over?

May have over heated. (hopefully not)

Have you tried to fire her up since the engine has cooled down?

If its turning over really quick, id say its either flooding itself and washing oil from bores leaving it with no compression,

disconnect fuel pump relay and turn it over and see if it slows down and turns over more normal, if i does then i reckon its not fireing right fuels not igniting and washing bores,

 

Or the cambelt may be turning, but may have jumped teeth,

 

If you cant check cambelt maybe its worth taking to zedworld and not messing with it no more,

 

Cause if its the fast spinning over im use to when a cambelt as gone, could be causing loads more damage,

 

Or just go all:taz: on it strip the cam cover off and check the marks,

 

Goodluck.
