    Hybrid Re-shelling hault, wont fire up properly.

    Right, we put my 2.0 Williams 2 engine in my ph1 valver.

    Matty and rob sorted the looms so its supposed to work, we used everything ignition wise off my old car (which was ph2) including the coil pack. Now the car only fires for a milisecond then cuts out. Its getting fuel but cylinder 4 isn't sparking, I havent checked the others coz im at my wits end after bass helped me set the engine bay alight for a few seconds (lol dont ask).

    Im asuming at least one cylinder is sparking as it fires for a second then gives up. So if some aint firing, whats my course of action bar cleaning the leads/plugs changing the coilpack.

    Bearing in mind the engine 100% worked on the button in my N Reg.

    Please help, this is only thing stopping me making fcs at the moment! :(

    just to add, we kept the loom with the car, so wiring shouldnt be an issue

    Swap the coil over from your old car.

    Its running a williams 2 ecu with gunnerchip...

    The dizzy etc is all practically new, il clean anyway but will do that!

    Only aftermarket alarm we disconnected, all it did was Auto Locked the doors once the ignition was on, doesn't do it anymore.
