Another effing mishap

[Wobba]

Update: Timing seems fine, no slippage of cambelt.


Camera at a slight angle here, but the timing is right.


All good.

I got a 172 crank sensor, which I thought would fit, but it doesn't.

New TPS should be here soon. I need to borrow a laptop with a COM port to reset the throttle pot on the ECU when it arrives.

K. Charged battery to max. Didn't start, just sounded healthier cranking this time.

Replaced fuel pump for my spare Walbro, it primes fine.

Replaced fuel filter.

Changed plugs. Checked spark, there is a spark, seems strong going from coil to earth on the engine.

Still not starting.

[Coops]

do the bores smell of fuel if you remove spark plug after cranking?

[Wobba]

I have noted there was a bit of fuel smell but less than normal. I'll be checking the injector earths and other earths later tonight.

[Coops]

check for fuel so your 100% happy its getting in there. so plugs out and leave it till no smell, plugs in and crank to attempt to start it fully, then plugs out and check

[Wobba]

Yea, I'll do that later too! Hopefully getting a new crank sensor that actually fits later too. ****ing car.

[Wobba]

I have a feeling the bodyshop could have disturbed an earthing point or two. Will check their handy work later...

[Coops]

its possible

have you made and solid progress on the compression test though? if you have fuel and spark then only thing really left is compression, which you have had a dubious result for!

[sideways danny]

so.......battery replaced yet? It's probably flooded at the moment so stick some plugs in it

[Wobba]

Pretty sure this is crank sensor.

ECP confirmed they sent me the wrong part (there is an error on their website for F4R 730 crank sensors I think). Should have replacement tomorrow.
