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

 

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

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

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!

[Spiky 37]

my earth went from the gearbox to the old coil mount

 

now it goes from the head to the battery tray

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 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 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!

[Spiky 37]

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

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

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)

[Spiky 37]

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

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

or a FAIL

[Spiky 37]

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

[djinuk 2]

just wanted to say cool project, and if it helps i used one of spikys looms with great success

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

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?

[Spiky 37]

i dont touch cam belts, i leave that part to the pro's

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

I've just got a timing belt DIY thing off 306gti6 forum going to use this double check everything in place

[Anthony 1,000]

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.

[Spiky 37]

put a pictur up of the alternator and startermotor connections

i've done a couple of cam belts, call me if you want a second look over it.

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

Spiky- I'll get some pictures tomorrow if I have time to go up there as i've got to go to Oxford to pick some hubs up off Adam. Basically its:

 

Justin- Cheers, haven't got your number anymore as it was on my last phone. Car's in High Wycombe though.

 

Alan- Yeah good mate, nearly fudged it trying to press the new bearing in. But it fitted perfect, cheers for that!

Also put the door back on today and never got soo stressed in my life putting a lock back on

 

 

It's out quite a bit at the top and bottom but thats not my main concern at the moment...

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Here's some pictures of the terminals connection for you Spiky, spot anything wrong?

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Spiky 37]

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?

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

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

 

I'll see to the braided halfrauds jobby tomorrow.

Edited June 26, 2009 by paul_xiii

[Spiky 37]

ok

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

[Paul_13 212 1 Cars]

Here's a pic of the CAS and plug, the other white plug (VSS) has a cable shielding around it.

 

Picture of VSS

 

New earth cable

 

Moved earths for coils

 

Started taking seat rails out, first time i've used a spot weld drill and over cooked a few of them . Will repair properly (Mastic )

 

Blood was everywhere from incident with hammer lol my mates going to think i killed his dog

[Miles 331 1 Cars]

Easy one this. You have pluged in the wrong plug on the Crank sensor, You need to find a brown plug, The white one should be the TPS
