Whats needed to start XE

[steve1434]

Hi all. Whats the absolute must haves to get a c20xe to run?

I want make sure it runs before doing anymore work.

When I try now it nearly fires up, so am close - currently just squirting a bit of fuel down tb.....

It needs the same as any internal combustion engine...

fuel, air and spark!

I use a key to start mine lol

[steve1434]

Haha, have fuel air and sparks - and keys....

An ecu.

A good battery, or else a really steep hill for a pushstart.

Have you looked in the how to articles? It's most likely weather a sensor fault or you've not got the right positive feed to the ecu.

[steve1434]

Got all the above, sensors all good so far. Getting pops and farts but no idle. Icv okay, earths okay although I only have two that I can find on inlet - some guides say you should have three?

[Benn]

How do you know the ICV is ok?

[steve1434]

Tested on another engine. I guess that even if the icv was knackered it would still fire up though?

[Will F]

Yep -it would still start - if its popping and backfiring through the inlet(?) I would say your leads are on wrong...?
