injectors inop

[MK1_beastie]

I have got my engine in, it turns over, gets a spark, fuel pump is operating but the injectors are not doing anything.

Can anyone help me on this one? There is fuel at the rail so i know its getting that far :confused:

Oh, its a C20XE


thanks

IS the fuel pump running off the fuel pump relay?

[comptoncj]

All earths tight? would suspect crank sensor or fuel pump relay

[MK1_beastie]

Wow, quick replies! Thanks

Yeah it is running off the fuel pump relay. I did notice a bit of the plastic coating on the crank sensor wiring was melted a little, how many wires are inside or is it a coil type wire?

[comptoncj]

I think there is 3 but not totally sure

[Adam]

Theres 2, the 3rd is a sheild.

Ok, looks like i should try a new crank sensor...off to the for sale section lol

[comptoncj]

Local motor factors do them for around £35 iirc

[Adam]

If you are getting a spark i doubt its the crank sensor!

[comptoncj]

Have you tried getting the ecu light to flash?

[MK1_beastie]

ok, think i will go and triple check the earths and maybe try give them a clean and see if that helps any.

thanks again

The car started today!! i took the fuel rail off and bench tested injectors, they were ok and were getting power. Cleaned all the earths as i built it up and changed the fuel pump relay at same time...after a couple of turns it kicked into life :d

Been about 3-4 years since i took the engine out my last nova....so was long overdue. Safe to say i had quite a sizeable cheeser on my face when it started lol
