Just had my engine out for about 8 weeks. Everything is back in, with a new clutch and some new bits and bobs, gaskets etc.

Now it wont start.

Pump is priming, I have a spark, new (gapped) spark plugs and the one I removed is wet with fuel.

Ive made sure the fuel lines are the right way around. Engine turns over fine, no knocks or anything. Coil packs are plugged in with grey plugs on the front and black plugs to the rear, and the same on the injectors...

What else can it be???

Help please!

Checked Crankshaft position sensor is plugged together properly?

you've poved two of the three ingedients needed to start -- fuel and spark, correct timmings next i would have thought

ECU hasn't been touched at all...

Crank sensor is newish and is plugged and bolted down, water temp sensor is brand new with zero miles....

Timing - so this is down to either cam belt or ECU timing...

i would check your belt first as it is possible its slipped.I'd put my money on the ignition timing if belt dosen't work, i would say its an ecu jobby, when you rebuilt did you do like for like or uprate?

Crank pulley aligned to arrow on face of wheel not crank trigger on rear.
I have put some pics in my help pages www.jollygreenmonster.co.uk

Yeah went by the small arrow on crank and timing was bang on

Cars going to a mates yard today - I've had enough! Hopefully he'll sort it rapidly and i'll get it back all working

You have misunderstood.
The little arrow is WRONG it is the notch you align it to

think this may simplify the explanation Just pasting what Si@JGM wanted to show you.



Arrow on crank can be found on face of crank pulley at 3 o clock

Your welcome any time bud.

I must still visit for that AVCR, just got to much going on. Will get in touch rather than hijack this thread. Although i think Tucker has sent the car down to his mates yard already.
