[speedyd]

i just put a new engine in today(after putting conrod through block). got the engine in and wired up again. got it started and its running really rough. it wont rev past 2000 and its sounding like it miss firing. anyone got any ideas to look at to help me please???:)

[dougie_boi]

what engine did you fit mate

[speedyd]

2.0 ne. i had one in it all ready i just blow the old one up.

[Southie]

Was the engine a runner when you bought it?

[AlexW]

Leads? Plugs? Wiring? Earth?

Could be anything!

check timing if changed the belt ???

and as said above check the easy stuff 1st

[speedyd]

ok. i will check the easy things first thing.

[dougie_boi]

check the leads to make sure there on the right ends on the dizzy and the firing order should be 1,3,4,2

[speedyd]

it turned out to be the crank sentcer. lol. alot better now

[speedyd]

now its reving but its not got all the power there. it sort of miss firing and coughing. changed the injecters and the fuel reg. could it be bad earths do u think? :)

[Graeme]

I'd say double ceck the timing mate, if you know it is a good engine

[AlexW]

If you think its earths why not check them? Afterall its easy and it could make it run better.

[speedyd]

done the earths and its running better but still not that good. going to get cam belt done and timming. fingers crossed that does the job :)

anyone got a 4 branch manifold for 2.0 8v nova or just a down pipe for sale?
