[RyanGorman]

Hi all, iv just fitted a C20let into my nova and it won't start :(
it's made some pops and really loud bangs. And when it's turning over sometimes it's like kicks back/ locks up. Any help would be great.
thanks for reading Ryan

Checked your plugs? Sounds like they may of **** themselves lol.i assume its cranking?

[RyanGorman]

Iv done that like 5 times, they are wet when I take them out. Iv defo got fuel because I cranked it with out the plugs and can see if spitting out the plug holes and iv got spark on all 4. Just find it funny when cranking it like kicks back. I'm guesting it's trying to firer?

Take it plug leads are in the correct firing order?

[RyanGorman]

1342 I'm I fitting them right though? No 1 cylinder to 1 dizzy no 2 cylinder to 3 dizzy no 3 cylinder to 4 dizzy no 2 cylinder to 2 dizzy?

[MARTIN KELSON]

Dunno. I run TB's with coil pack. Sure somebody with turbo can confirm or somebody with so LET Haynes manual handy.

Try running a jump lead to the engine block i had this problem it neede another earth for starting it.

[RyanGorman]

Did yours stop cranking (lock up) then. I'll give that a try. Thanks mate

[torquey]

Yeh it did just a thought worth a try.

I cant make sense of that.
Is the dizzy cap stamped with numbers? If so then just match them uo.
No. 1 on dizzy to No. 1 cylinder (cambelt side)
No. 2 on dizzy to No.2 cylinder

And so on.

If youve got no3 on the dizzy to cyl 2 then theres your problem.

Checked the timing??

[Will F]

Defo a timing and/ or firing order issue. Check the plug order, then check the timing....

[RyanGorman]

No I haven't checked the timing but when it was removed from the car it was in before it ran fine. I haven't done anything to the engine to affected the timing. :S

Then it's your plug leads then as it's fireing out of sequence that's why you got back fire to much fuel and delayed spark

[RyanGorman]

^^Yeah that's was my problem!! I had two of the leads wrong way round... DOH! Thanks for everyone help :) she now run!!

[MARTIN KELSON]

Spot on. Glad you've sorted it & a simple fix.
Normally look to deep & don't check the obvious first!

[RyanGorman]

Yeah I'm well happy! Thanks for all your help!!!
