large 33 Posted July 29, 2007 I have just finished putting a 1.9 engin into my 1.6 and i can't get it to run.I have changed the timing belt but doweled the cam and crank so i dont think it is that,i also swapped the dizzy A.F.M and the E.C.U with ones from a 1.9. It dose idle but only just and when you try to rev it a bit(or alot ) it cuts out please help as i feel as i have wasted my weekend Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danpug 1 Posted July 29, 2007 Have you timed the dizzy correctly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted July 29, 2007 Have you timed the dizzy correctly? An easy mistake to make, as the cylinders are numbered from the flywheel end. Done it myself twice... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie-Van-GTi 70 2 Cars Posted July 29, 2007 either massive air leak on the intake or the cam timing is one tooth out. Ive experienced both and both gave these symptons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
large 33 Posted July 29, 2007 I have not timmed it up with a timming light or anything but i have turned the dizzy from front to back to front and it only seams to run with it in the middle. I have had this engine on a rolling road about 2 years ago and have got marks on the dizzy from then but i am at a loss so all input is more than welcome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matty_gti 20 Posted July 29, 2007 Im guessing an air leak, very simple problem but is allways a bugger. Had it on my replacment engine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mikey S 29 1 Cars Posted July 29, 2007 check the wiring to the airflow meter. you may have pulled one of the pins out of the connector slightly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
j_turnell 134 3 Cars Posted July 30, 2007 Likewise with the Ecu temp wiring, blue plug. Has it got a good spark, deff getting enough fuel? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
28CRAIG 2 Posted July 30, 2007 Had the same problem on mine is the idle about 600rpm ish try and rev it and it just cuts out at about 2000rpm if it does try the fuel filter mine was clogged and wouldn't let enough fuel thru. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
large 33 Posted July 30, 2007 I think i am getting fuel as i removed the pipe (the 17mm one) turned it over and fuel shot across the floor, not very scientific i know. Dose the blue plug go to the water temp thing or to the S.A.D. under the dizzy. As i didn't take them off my mate did he did mark them up but i still have a ? over this And thanks for the replys having a day off today back to it tomorrow.
