engine back in - now the fun starts.... (help please!)

[MatBrown]

Is fuel getting into the chambers?
Take a plug out and see if its wet.
Could be the FPR.

FPR - fuel pressure regulator? Is that the thing that sits on the end of the injector rail the other end to where the fuel lines are??

plugs are wet which would indicate fuel is getting through, yes? there is also a stench of petrol why I try and start the car each time...

[northy]

you sure the fuel pipes are on the right way around?

once the plugs get wet - bin them. get some new ones in.

But not till you get it sorted, else you'll go through a lot of plugs.

If your getting a spark and your getting fuel it's down to the timing.
Check the TDC just in case.
And try yet another coil.

Yes.

[talkingfish]

If it's timing, what do I need to do to investigate that?

[talkingfish]

not sure what I could have done to effect the timing whilst the engine was out... not changed the cam belt, only the aux belt, water pump and alternator...??

[Coops]

if you've not touched the belt then siming should be fine

TDC sensor its sounding like

as said mate i will attempt to pop up tomos with some spares i know work and we'll do a bit of diagnosis murder

[katbloke]

ive had it where wilma wouldnt start, took off tdc sensor, cleaned it and all its respective terminals, put it back on and it fired up
