Hi all my nova is only running on two cylinders (1+3)

It has a spark too all 4

Good Compression

Timing is correct

And the two cylinders which aren't running are very wet.

If I spin it over with the plugs in in locks after a while.

Now I have a very good feeling the Injectors aren't closing on 2+4. as it will run for a bit then stop. Also the Oil stinks of petrol and the plugs are drenched yet theres a good spark, this will also explain why its locking and wont run with well with all 4 plugs in.

Could it be anything else? as am stuck and really need to get it running.

Cheers Dan

Have you checked your plug leads are in the correct firing order?

Timing okay?

What colour are your plugs going? Noticed you say drenched, probably over fuelling.

Any oil and water mixing?

Leads are new as are the plugs, and the firing order is correct.

Timing spot on.

Clear just wet.

No oil water mix. Head gasket is brand new any way.

Looks to be the injectors, just wanted to check to see if any one else had had a similar problem.

Cheers Southie

No problem.

Trying swapping the injectors around to see if it alters the running on 1 and 3, it could also be the wiring to your injectors, is the wiring in good condition?

Wiring is spot on, there are feeds to all the injectors too

Try swapping the injectors around then to see if it is that or not ;)
