I love the sound of nova's running in the wrong order lol
i AM SO CONFUSED O_o
Top right prong is 1, so is that the furthest one away thats number one or nearest to on the engine?
Was my description really that vague? lol
yep because its not that obious which one is top (esp for someone who didnt write down what order was what lol)
lol looks like we were all crap
yep because its not that obious which one is top (esp for someone who didnt write down what order was what lol)
yep :) Esp when that person is a bimbo at the best of times as it is HAHA :thumb:
stand next to the passenger wing. bonnet open, look at the distributor. There will be the 4 outer prongs sticking out... Number 1 is the one at the top right (or 1 o'clock position)
Thats probably why I can't get my engine running. I put them on 1342 clockwise with 1 being the top left looking at dizzy :wall: I'm a tw@t.
Must correct that when I get back from uni at the weekend!!

okay so the bits where the spark plugs are which ones number one o_0
1342 from left to right standing in front of the car
left looking towards the bay from the front iirc tbh though, guess, it only works one way round lol
:c:p I knew it was 1342, sense should have told me to make sure what direction lol
1342 from left to right standing in front of the car
um, sure it's not 1234 lee? lol That's some funny cylinder numbering you got going on there :p
Lee with that nugget of info, (no offence nebbbbbzzz), bet the leads go from D1-P1 D3-P2 D4-P3 D2-P4 lol
:c:p I knew it was 1342, sense should have told me to make sure what direction lol
... and what pin to start with, hense the double fail lol
okay we now have a tractor running very rich o_0
um, sure it's not 1234 lee? lol That's some funny cylinder numbering you got going on there :p
Correct, it is :) This thread is now confusing me as well lol
EDIT AFPMSL I was so busy looking for fail pics, i did my own fail. Talk about blindsided
Lee with that nugget of info, (no offence nebbbbbzzz), bet the leads go from D1-P1 D3-P2 D4-P3 D2-P4 lol
none taken i am a tard :thumb:
none taken i am a tard :thumb:
No, I am, cylinders go 1234 from left to right lol
o_0 if its confusing u lot...........ive got no hope in frickin hell!......
doesnt start with the 1234 one :P least it started with the 1342 meh
okay we now have a tractor running very rich o_0
if you have the plugs on correctly it's probably just full of fuel from turning over on random sparks, injection ftw :p

Thankfully on the corsa engines they number them on the coilpacks for numptys lol
LOL
OK, to clarify, 1342 on Dizzy cap, starting from top right going anti clockwise. 1234 on cylinders running left to right when standing in front of car.
DOuble check that.
Also check you plugged in the king lead lol

LMFAO, thats clockwise lol
This thread is making us all stoopid
Meh that's correct for an E16SE... lol
edit: that right for a carb? :p
iirc the 1l is the only one thats plugged up differently

HAHA mate ur mint! it took the other half to do that bit but its now running properly lol
Funny as!
ah crap all the leads run to the wrong cylinders on that now lol
ah crap all the leads run to the wrong cylinders on that now lol
I started this thread 100% confident how to wire up a smallblock, and now I dont have a clue lol
if you look at the diagram dizzy 3 leads to cylinder 2 and vice versa lol If you ignore the pretty colours it works lol and I'm sure my E16SE runs the other way but then it never did seem to run right... :p

lol my 2 pence worth.
Looking at the dizzy from the passenger wing the rotor arm will rotate in an anticlock wise motion. Number 1 cylinder is that closest to the cambelt, drivers side, number 4 is that closer to the dizzy.
Undo the clips for the dizzy cap, on the face edge of the body of the dizzy, there will be a cut out no wider than a saw blade, this is your starting point. That is number 1. Make yourself aware of what pin it relates to on the cap and replace the cap. So now your longest lead goes on that one (number 1) and to number one cylinder, working in an anti clock wise direction the next one goes to number 3, next after that is number 4, then number 2.
Make sense?

tbh im more confused than i was being confused about how confusing this thread was
what?

28-04-10, 07:03 PM
Blank mind... and read my explaination again. It does make sense, honest lol
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v471/MK999/novaleads-1.jpg
well this is what we did, it no longer sounds like a tractor....which fits for my accent i guess.......
but is this right?
the numbers are, the coloured leads arent, because I did it backwards at first then changed the numbers lol

It's like the blind leading the blind.
I am creased up reading this thread!
The poor girl has had a go, made the mistake and thought i will ask on the Nova enthusiasts website where she has been lucky and had 2 of the admin team online to reply but the entire thread is fooked and now she is more confused than when she started,
I would delete this whole thread as if the VBOA see it they will think there lying they must be a ford club in disguise!

Im confused stupid wires, stupid me meh

Lol you still not sorted it out, laymans terms....
As you look at the engine, left to right the plugs number 1, 2, 3, 4.
As you look at your dizzy cap from the passenger side wing looking directly at it...
Top right is number 1
Top left is number 3
Bottom left is number 4
Bottom right is number 2
Hope that clarifies it:thumb:
Nebbz. Please don't buy a Supra.
lol
IDE PAY PEOPLE TO WORK ON THE SUPRA AM I FECK TOUCHING THAT!!!!!
but a simple 1.2 well not so simple in that case lmao! im a tard, i got over excited haha

is this the headgasket i need.
NO IDEA if this is my problem but theres loads of oil around the seal :confused:
needless to say im getting fustrated with the nova meh
dj_wudgey
28-04-10, 10:08 PM
get it presure tested before doing the head gasket!
If you think its the gasket id take it to reputable garage and get it checked/confirmed before you start ripping it to bits, if you struggled with plug leads you will never do a head gasket:eek:
i cant even get it to a garage it breaks down so soon :S

tow it there!
Saloony
28-04-10, 10:11 PM
I believe theres a new solution thats just come out on the market for just such occassions, think they call it a TOW ROPE?
O_o urrrrgh i hate being towed makes me cry loL! the whole no breaks what so ever thing
ide rather call a mobile mechanic haha
O_o urrrrgh i hate being towed makes me cry loL! the whole no breaks what so ever thing
Umm you do have brakes when being towed, just no servo assistance so makes them harder to use!
nope had no breaks last time, bumped off the other cars bumper :S and after one big crash with breaks failing.....dont want a 2nd dont think my back can take a crash like it again lol
Well there was a fault with the brakes then as your brakes operate fine without the engine running, you just need to press harder on them!
dj_wudgey
28-04-10, 10:24 PM
you prob just need to pres the pedal harder!

Are you looking at the head or the rocker? :p Is it above or below where the exhaust bolts on?
That's your rocker gasket, and won't cause you running problems, just makes the engine all oily. I'd still get it checked over by someone who knows what they're looking at, but the oil all over the place doesn't indicate headgasket. i.e I'm not saying it's *not* that, but what you see is not evidence of it.
small relief i guess. I suppose after 6 weeks not having a car, im a little fustrated about it, also having so much faith in the dam thing and every one i know saying scrap it just keeps proving them right.....
......stupid thing urgh got two cars like it now!!!!! a ford and vauxhall

dont scrap it sell it for scrap value if your geting rid! Some one off here would have it!
o_0 i dought it after what ive done to it!
ON A GOOD NOTE the other halfs sick of me f'in and blinding about the thing, and the fact i keep having to drive his car haha! (scared of his alloys as he knows if he pisses me off there getting kirbed)
Hes paying for it to go to a mechanic and they deal with it, haha bless him, although i had a pat on the back and well done for trying to do it my self.....even if i failed big time hehe
yay
