any advice please !

Hi guys I have a 24v granny lump installed in my capri but I cant get it to run I have modded the loom myself and I thought that that was the problem but a mate came over with another loom ecu and edis6 module and it still wouldnt start so that eliminates the loom ! I have a spark and all the injectors are firing bat it still wont start.

So today I got a tow and tried to bump start it and it ran for a few seconds then died so I tried again and gave it some revs to keep it running and it revved up quite nicely(ie not lumpy ) then died on me !

 

I am losing my patience with it now so if anyone has any ideas no matter how small please let me know and I will try them out

 

by the way the granada was running ok before I took the engine out and i haven't taken it apart enough to adjust the cam timing !

 

Cheers Richie

is it fully electronic ignition?

 

you got all the sensors puged in does it have an air meter? lambda sensor?

 

checked all the plugs

 

all the earths nice and clean?

[350moggy]

yeah its fully controlled by the ecu for timing and fuel

 

All the plugs are fully home and have done continuity tests to make sure that I have everything I need :-

 

maf sensor

water temp sensor

charge temp sensor

throttle position sensor

idle speed control valve sensor

lambda sensors

 

as well as power to the injectors and the coil pack

and all the earths and lives are onto new terminals !

 

I think that I'll change the fuel pump and filter tomorrow to see if it makes a difference

 

I have already had new plugs and a new battery as well

[Mr Sam]

sorry i meant electronic injection but you got what i meant

 

was it a running engine beforehand ? and has it been sitting a while?

[350moggy]

Yeah I had it running in the granny before i took it out but I think that it has been sat for a while before that !

[Mr.Sumo]

sounds like a fueling problem m8...make sure the fuel pump is priming and you got a feed to the injectors....thats as much as i can offer in advice

 

good luck

HAS IT GOT A FUEL PUMP RELAY,CAN YOU BY PASS IT ,IT MAY BE PLAYING UP

[Baz.]

sound like fuel mate to me

[oldskool100e]

Is the fuel tank venting OK?

 

Fuel pump mounted low enough to prime?

 

Big enough outlet on fuel tank?

 

Just some thoughts, I may be talking boll*cks... (as usual...)
