Finished replacing my.engine after hg gone so brought running engine ej20 turbo(same type), ...charged battery for bit of mates car, bolted up. it started but very ruff idle, turned it off now want start again :'(....

Checked and all plugs are connected, so not sure what it is...?

may seem silly but iv got the standard plastic recirv valve, and the little plastic for small pipe has broken, have tryed to temp put on, but would this cause a issue?

i know not much to go off, proppa gutted as taken me a while todo, if any near to aldridge and has spare time, would be so appreciated

thanks in advance

 

check all the basics first mate fuel/spark and air all boost hoses connected right and all plugs on the inlet etc

 

Yes someone mentioned fuel air lock?

 

Silly question... Did you see the donor engine running before hand.

 

Yes mate was running ok

 

is your fuel pump priming when you turn the ignition on???

 

Mite sound daft, but will it make a pumping sound

 

when u turn your ignition on you should here like a hummmmm for about 1.5 seconds then it will stop

 

Ok will go and check, and any other way checking spark or is ut pulling ht leads out (just awkward ha)

 

Yes i hear that sound

 

U need to check spark mate could be a coil problem ?

 

I suggest you double check evry connector is on properly, if one is off or not pushed fully on then it may be the problem

 

mibee another silly question is the plugs on the injectors
