ok,

just to check you also have a big battery feed from the battery >>> starter >>> aternator

 

as well as my extra cable?

 

the wiring of the brown plugs looks fine :ph34r:

 

go double check the earth, needs to be a big fat cable like the battery possitive cable, else it will use every earth and drain it

 

 

if you only took the thick (rear pipe) and put the pump on fuel should only come out of the pipe in your hand that you took off and not from the return :lol:

I will give it a go tomorrow when I go round my mates, do you know of anywhere better to earth the engine from?

Don't like the look of that crappy little mount!

I've got a nice big fat chunky cable feeding everything and from alt. to starter.

Will the braided cable be enough to earth it?

 

I will double check the pump tomorrow :D I need to obtain some 8mm fuel hose and redo the lines as I want them in the car.

CAF sell a 35m reel for £45, just wondering if it would be worth buying it and selling the rest off.

 

Gti-Si- cheers for finding the relay :D much appreciated

 

I think the engine was sat out side for a bit before I bought it, from a cowboy name crooksy on the 306 forum, he 'forgot' to put the injectors, ICV and loads of other bits on the engine. He then said he was going to send them and he never did w*nker!

try putting a multimeter on the injectors and see if you get any voltage on them

 

also try the same on one of the coil plugs

 

i may well have "forgotten" or "missed" a cable,

 

but if the pump is priming and you have 12v when on 2nd ignition notich, you are pretty much there

I'll borrow my step dads multimeter again for tomorrow if he lets me and test the coil and injectors to see if 12v is present.

 

I've got a good feeling it's the earth (fingers crossed)

i'm not sure it will be 12v, but it will be more than ZERO :ph34r:

might sound like a stupid question, but is it timed up right after the cambelt change?

 

the cams now 180 degrees out or anything? or jumped some teeth?

 

worth a check as you have done this :angry:

I was going to double check this today, would that stop it from firing/injecting though?

 

I notice a timing hole on the pulley, which I didnt use. I timed it up using the hole at the back of the starter and the 2 holes in the cams and the 2 in the head.

 

I know it sounds stupid but that is right isnt it?

If you've not got a spark or fuel being injected, then it's not going to be anything related to cam timing IMO - it'll be electrical.

How'd you get on with that bearing I gave you for the steering rack?

 

I had this problem on my Mi16 last year. Took ages to find, where it was down to s*itty wiring/connectors on the brown plugs near the engine. Done away with them and replaced with soldered crimps and it works a treat now :wacko:

if it was my car i would move that earth

 

put the green wires where they should be, by the vacum pump

 

and move the braided wire and put it in the bin and get a new thick earth cable and mount from the inner wing/battery tray or battery to the gearbox earthing point

 

where is the constant live from the loom, the wire labelled constant live?

Constant live is on the wires to the starter hidden at the back mate.

 

I'll see to the braided halfrauds jobby tomorrow.

ok B)

clean all the conenctions on the starter with sandpaper and the terminal it self and the nut, to make sure of a good contact.

 

also can you get me a picture of the CAS (sensor on top of gearbox) connection on to the loom
