is the car turning and sounds like its about to fire?

have you checked if your getting a spark on all 4 plugs mate.
if your only getting 3. i might have an idea for you

jgm helped me with this one

There is a spark but even though i have put new plugs in its still pretty weak!!

fieldy1978

Yes it has the plastic pulleys but checked it over and it seems ok!Do you mean the lugs the cam sensor reads on the back! None of them seem to be damaged or are you talking about something else?

Reading through this and you mention the fuel lines. Have you checked they are plumbed onto the engine correctly? Easy mistake to make.

could easy be.

but its best to check bit by bit, if all the plugs work/spark that rules out the timing
the next step would be the fueling.

as said before, make sure fuel lines are on around the right way..... Are the injectors all plugged in and working? Silyl question really.

I'm sure you can get some sort of fault codes from the ECU and then go from there, finding out what the CAR thinks is wrong is generally a good place to start

do u hav rthr coil packs wire dthe right way ? the darker colour wires go to the rear coil packs either grey or brown worth a try.

Ye, the cam pully does look normal, but it can still be faulty. Seriously just try it, it had my head wrecked for bout a week. Lol

Ok cool i think i will change the crankshaft sprocket and cam shaft sprocket. Injectors are good as flooding the plugs.checked the coil wiring and all good. How do you read the ecu on a 96 import?i have read the topics on black plugs but cant see any behind my fuse box!!

Cheers Spen

Ginge !

mate have you got any further forward with this ?

i have a similer issue, the car will start,,,, then cuts out again after a few seconds and if i hit the pedal it just dies quicker even if i tickle it

i have just changed a gearbox so wondering if its the same issue if i find the answer ill chuck the solution your way and hope it helps you

Is the idle control valve plumbed in correctly?

Can you hold it to 2krpm but it always dies returning to idle? if so it could be this.

fieldy1978

Hi no still no further at the mo. It does not run at all it fires then dies then nothing. the new crankshaft sprocket is sitting in the post office for me so i will get down there tomorrow and fit over the weekend as fits the crank sensor problem perfectly!!

fieldy1978

Ok update i just fitted the new crankshaft sprocket and it went to start then stopped again but it does try every now and then which is an improvement on before. Sweet talking the missus now to tow me tomorrrow and try start it that way!!
