Any body help, ive put my car pack together after having the plenum off, everything is back as it should be, i turned the key to fire it up and it just keeps turning over but not firing, ive got fuel pumping round, spark plugs are sparking and im pretty confident ive got all the timing right, ive also checked all connections etc, can anybody through some light on the problem?

anybody?

is it flooding perhaps?? I have had that on mine before and it turned out the ECU was malfunctioning and telling the injectors to fire when the engine was off so the plugs were sodden and wouldnt ignite.

 

take the fuel pump fuse out and start it a few times to dry the plugs then jam open the throttle and leave it 30 mins to air out the cylinders then put the fuse back in and try it. The fuel pump fuse is a cartridge one in the smaller fuse box on the drivers side.

 

Might not be this but all i can suggest.

cheers, will give it a go,

yep that was the problem, cheers for that, top man!

no problem mate. im made up that i have been able to help someone on here after all the help i have got from others.

 

PS If it keeps happening think about changing out your ecu for a new one as that is most likely to be the route of your problem. I think water got into mine and caused the damage. At it worse the injectors kept firing until the cylinders were full of fuel and could not crank. In that case pull out a plug and crank the engine with a rag over the hole and it will push out the fuel to allow the engine to crank. Put the plug back in and follow the above procedure to dry the engine out.
