By not turning over do you mean it isnt even trying or that you can hear the starter engage but the engine seems to be locked? if the latter is there any sign of water coming out the zorst

hmmm well thats not so bad then, was begining to think your car had h/gasket problems and had hydro locked. Have you checked your engine earths again

Is the plenum still sucking in air or have you fixed it? If not, you need to get that fixed before doing anything else or your just wasting your time.

fitted new gasket tonight ran out of light and patience + im scared to try start it again coz i fear im gonna be back at squre one again

right realised its a bit stupid posting the latest without testing

just went out n tryd firing her ..got the same shes cranking n trying to fire but just not shell run rough for a second or two the stall

Did you determine if fuel is definately getting into the cylinders? Are your fuel feed and return lines on around the right way?

  • Author

yea m8 had a pressure gague on the fuel lines fuel in is readin at 40/44 psi iirk whik is within service manual readings

  • Author

+ brand new spark plugs within 3 cranks the new plugs were soaking which says its over fueling at normal timing

  • Author

done that aswell compression tst is coming in at 158-160 on cyliders 1 to 6 wich is within range for n n/a

Next meet at yours, then we can all have a look scratch, our heads and rip bits off.......probably wont get it running but could be fun

Hi Mate have you checked you have all the connectors on the rear of the plenum in their correct place, it sounds like you have a large air leak (you sorted plenum gasket) and blow on the downpipes. i would double check the wiring to each of the injector plugs, mine tested ok when off but in the process of refitting the wires on a couple broke in the casing. Causing the similar symptoms you are having. hope this is of help.

I'm planning on escaping for a few days within the next week, but havent decided exactly when yet. If I can make it along on Saturday I will.
