c16xe start up/fueling prob!

[simon@novaheaven]

just tried to fire up my c16xe nova but with no luck, the starter is turning the engine fine but it wont fire up.

there is a spark to the plugs
there is fuel going to the fuel rail but not into the bores

when i pour fuel into the bores the engine trys to fire up but then dies again

does anyone know what could be causing it not too work.

i dont know if the wiring or the injectors are at fault, is there a way of testing either of these.

any help or info would be brill

cheers
Simon

2 much air by the sounds of it! or 2 little!
Is the air filter clean?
Has the air inlet got any splits in it?
Just check the air induction is ok, at lest then thats 1 possibility sorted!
Also, try choking the engine a bit 2 c if that works!

get the injectors ultrasonicly cleaned

[simon@novaheaven]

all the induction system is new, filter is new etc,

its defo a fuel problem cos the bores are dry and when i pour fuel in them it fires and then stops.

there isnt any power going to the injectors from what i can see, ive used a tester on them and the light didnt glow at all.

have you checked that the injectors have power supply to them. I belive you can do this crude'ly by putting a bulb across the two pins from the loom then crank it and see if the bulb lights up
