    Default Help! Nova gte engine wont start.

    I've checked its got spark. Earths are fine. All is happening is will crank over fine wont attempt to fire up. Iam getting fuel to the rail. Plugs are dry. Just fitted this to a 1.2 carb shell. Running gte tank. One thing I've noticed is pump sounding like it's struggling when I turn on ignition to crank. Any help would be great.

    If the rail is at pressure the pump will die down mate . Press the valve n make sure its at full pressure there . If you have fuel and a spark it should fire in some kind of way even if the timing is miles out

    Are the fuel lines defo on the right way? Also had a similar issue on an xe where it was doing the same, unplug all the injectors and crank for a few seconds, plug them in again and it ran. Don't know why but it works for some reason

    If it's like an xe the relay will control injectors too. Assume you have power to them and earths I know you said that you did already. Mine had power to them but didn't fire, did what I said above and it worked. Makes zero dance as to why but I wasn't complaint
