Its turning over right? What ECU are you using? The standard williams ecu imobiliser doesnt let the engine turn over so if its turning that aint the problem.

Are you getting petrol into the cylinders ??

im using the ecu from the williams 3 i got the engine from.
theres fuel in the rail i checked that but i got annoyed n left i for the day lol.

if thats the case what would i need to do to fire the injectors.

thanks for your help mate

Definitely not an immobiliser problem then.

I would turn the engine over without spark plugs and see if your getting fuel through. You will deffinatly be able to smell it if it is.. If the injectors are not working check the crank sensor.

Was the engine rebuilt? New head gasket maybe? As in could be a compression problem?

But does the engine crank when you try to start it?

i'd get a set of 16v injectors in there as soon as you can mate, it will be overfueling massively on the greens.

could the cause damage to my engine if i run them for too long.
