Rebuilt Engine - First Start and running on 3 Cylinders...

Any ideas?

New MAF was installed with new engine with good crank and cam sensors.

Bit stumped now

Spark plugs were all good.

Compression check tonight to check build.

Any other ideas?

My first thought too.

Try swapping plug leads over to see if the 'duff' cylinder changes.

Also fuel injector the lead hasn't been knocked off during installation has it ?

easy for the plug leads to not be properly seated on the spark plug.

Will check shortly. Anyone have the pinouts for the engineloom near the battery please to check them too?

When running on 3 there is no knocking noise or anything luckily. Fingers crossed.
