TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 What are we talking about with the advanced issue? A too far advance engine will struggle to start, is that what you are asking? Tom, when I come over I will bring the LED test light if you don't have one. Sorry Trev, I completely missed your post. Yes regarding advanced timing, I recall the mechanic saying it's advanced as far as it can go. I don't have a test light :( Fuel flows towards the arrow head so arrow head to the fuel rail. That's what I did, and had it as, I'm sorta grasping now! I did an unplanned stop over to work on the car tonight, basically put the new filter on, I bought the Z200 one, changed the distributor over to another one to see if that would work, no difference, changed the coil pack, no difference, changed the leads, no difference. :( I then noted that I had some fuel coming out between a injector and the rail, took it off and noted rubber o ring needs replacing, so I put it back on and tried again, with still no start, actually ended up doing this to all the injectors as they all started to get this problem, I tried again just before and still no start, another fuel leak from the rail started so before I loose my sanity I'm calling it a night.

Trev Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ok, is it attempting to start yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 As promised, here is a pic of Maxi's Christmas pressie, a nice big front mount intercooler and a piping kit. (The price was more than right so I couldn't go past it, even though at the moment it's pointless as the car doesn't even run.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Ok, is it attempting to start yet? It's attempting, nearly did, but she didn't come through. Trev, I'm going to be home tomorrow, should be here after 6 if you're free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Hey guys, You're not going to believe this but its 100% true, Trev came over put his hand on the engine and it started. Only problem is I wrecked all the o rings on the injectors so they are pumping fuel all over the engine bay, 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMsGPTurbo Posted December 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 It's funny how nothing can happen for so long until there is a little motivation and inspiration, and a project car can go from being covered in mold, crap for the last three years to clean, tiddy and running.
