Nova GSi engine, fitted, fuels, sparks, got compression but cylinders 2 & 3 are'nt running, it idles on 1 & 4 albeit badly.

Suggestions?

[craig green]

leads for 2 & 3 round wrong way?

[craig green]

or injecrtor plugs

[Ojc]

Forgot to say, swapped injectors around from 1 & 4 to 2 & 3 and still the same.

Just to confirm, firing order is 1 - 3 - 4 - 2 is it not?

[craig green]

1 4 32 IIRC

thats probably the issue then.

[Ojc]

Need to check that 100% because this could possibly be the issue.

Coil? Would this cause it to fire incorrectly?

[Riggy]

damages leads , plugs , dizzy cap , check the little pins inside the cap

[Ojc]

All brand spanking new

[Adam]

Its 1-3-4-2 in an anti clockwise direction on the cap.

When i put mine on in clockwise direction, the engine wouldn't run very well, lol

[Ojc]

Well I suppose thats another thing to check.

Cheers

Anymore suggestions?

[Ojc]

LONG LIVE THE NOVA :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

I want to have your children, that was the problem, my mate does a lot of XE conversions so put the leads on clockwise rather than anti clockwise.

Cheers everyone
