Hi guys i was wondering if there is anyone out there that has there head switched on and in the south sydney area to have a look at my rolla wagon with 4age motor in it. its not starting and i don't know what I'm doing nor where to start checking. it has fuel and the battery works but it just cranks over and over again. its hard to explain on here so ill give out my mobile 0410604117 and i can explain better in person.

No spark ? Pull a lead off and hold it on the head while some one cranks it over, If ya feel the spark or see a blue spark maybe something else is wrong. What was the last thing ya did to the engine ?

a friend has checked spark, the last thing i did was on sunday and i put new fuel in as it had been in ther for a few months and there wassnt much in it anyway so now it has fuel, its very od because it was running perfect one day and then the next day it wouldnt run at all with out doing anything to it besides leaving the battery connected but tis a long story

Whats it cranking like ? Is it coughing trying to start or just cranking with no life ?

3 main things to check for on any EFI motor that is not running..

 

1. Spark - Test by using a spark checker or by removing spark lead and sitting it near the bod and it should arc to the frame.

2. Noid - See if the injectors are getting power buy using a noid light across one of the injector clips or listen to hear the solenoid inside them is clicking.

3. Fuel - Check you have pressure at the rail by disconnecting it and aiming it into a container (Or alternatively spray some carby cleaner up the intake and see if it starts to kick to life but dies out when you stop spraying).

 

Make sure the earths on your car are all connected firmly too..

it cranks over with no life, i will check the injectors. thanks for your help guys

Oh, Just had another thought, Possible snapped timing belt?

 

Take the oil cap off and see if the cam spins when you crank it over..

Any updates on what you have found?

still nothing but i havent really had time to check it all out from your ideas but i know the timing belt is ok. i got a phone number for a guy that does wiring for conversions so imgoing to give him a call and see if he can have a look for me.
