HELP 1.2 spi wont start

[chadders]

Hi, thank's for looking hope you can help,
Bought myself a K reg 1.2 I.
I bought this Nova as a non runner, I'm struggling to get it running and was wondering if you lot have any tip's.
ok so far i have tried :
replaced coil pack and ignition module.
It's got a good spark, the timing is right, it's getting fuel, and has good compression ....:confused:
please if anyone can help i would really appreciate it,
Thank's in advance :thumb:

is the cam timing right? are all the cam followers there & intact?

is the cat blocked up?

is the lambda sensor working?

[oVerboost]

The usual things to check that are often overlooked, earth straps, lambda, cams, broken wires, dizzy. I take it it turns over, just doesn't "catch" and run...

Is the fuel fresh? You could try some easy start in the inlet to see if that helps at all (old school test)? Is the ECU tested?

[chadders]

Yer the cam timing is bang on will check the other stuff tomorrow how would I tell if the lambda sensor is working?
thanks for the help:thumb:

overboost: all the wiring looks ok so does dizzy tried easy start an it just spluttered have started draining the fuel but ran out of time today not thought about the ecu thanks for the advice

[oVerboost]

Check the ECU wires, the fuses and relay. :)

Thanks for the help so far lads been over what i can of the above an still no joy :cry: I carnt check the ecu as i dont have a spare an couldnt get a lambda sensor today.
So more looking an trying to solve the problem we have decided that its over fueling can anyone shed any light on this for me please :confused:

[oVerboost]

What gave the indication that the car was overfueling? Did you check all the fuses and relays?

[chadders]

Yea mate all are ok the spark plugs were covered in fuel instantly we took the plugs out and turned the engine over an it spat loads of fuel out like it was coming out of a jet if that makes sense !?!

[mowgli]

have you fitted new plugs or leads?

:tard: that's not right.

Hi plugs an leads are all new it's really doing my head in at the mo:cry: my father in law has had his own garage an worked on Cars for god knows how long an he's lost with it:confused:

[meritlover]

as long as its sparking and the firing order is right then its not the ign.

if its over fueling then there could be an issue with the throttle body, either the injector is stuck open or the FPR is too high.

unplug the injector and see if it chuffs over a bit as it burns the excess fuel.

what position is the dizzy in?
