1300 first time start up-more problems

[Edd]

I will get a pic of the afm

I havnt had someone move the dizzy, I've moved it a mill then tried starting it then moved again etc

It tries to start on the turn of the key then nothing

I also believe it's probably timing

[bmw156]

your not missing some part from the injection system are you.

the injection system, might need certain sensors etc, like AFM, crank sensor? and other bits. do you have all of these?

also, what about getting it running on some 40's and then you know the engine is working timing wise. then put your injection on...

[Edd]

I'm sure everything is fine with the injection system but will check for the 157th time

I don't have a set of 40's laying about to try

As I've just bought a house I don't really want to buy some either

I think it's timing related tbh but no idea what

[Iain]

Patronising question that I haven't seen asked yet: HT lead order correct?

It should still pop and bang!

try easy start like said, if it fires then it sounds to be an injection issue

yep checked that about 200 times as well

Ill be home from work in a hour so I will try things again

[bmw156]

i thought you had every part going .

and another stupid idea, you havent left some tape over the inlets since it was rebuilt and your just pumping fuel into the tape .

[Southie]

Just a thought Edd did the injection setup work okay when you bought it?

Also maybe try adding some extra earth straps around the alternator and main earths, if it's anything like usual injection setups it may need more fitting.

[Edd]

I do have a nice collection of parts but no carbs

Plugs are getting wet so no tape across the inlet

It's a nightmare really after months of work on it I now can't get it to start, I didn't expect it to fire straight up, but I thought it be running by now

edd, you have my sympathy on this. when my e16se wasn't working, yet everything separately was ok, it was driving me potty...... but out of frustration, when i'd flattened the battery, i threw everything on it while it was charging, so it now works & i still don't know why or how it was or wasn't working..
