Iv wired up a GTE engine in my friends Nova.

Now iv come to start it and the fuel pump runs, pressurises the fuel rail, It sparks as it should do but wont run.

Iv checked the injectors and its not earthing them out to enable them to open.

Iv tried my spare loom, ecu and fuel pump relay, but to no avail.

Is there anything else that I can try?

Thanks in advance,

Ben :)

Sorry, forgot to put that!

The bolt is securely fastened to the cam carrier and the earth on the gearbox has been replace with an earth running straight off the battery to where the same earth for the loom is on the cam carrier!

Cheers!
