You want to sell it and save yourself time and effort ??:cool :Hammer

[grinder]

thats the last thing on my mind to be honest

im not beaten that easily - im dying to get this thing working so that i can cruise round with the roof down

[Mobilemick]

you`ll get it running , just as the snow comes

[grinder]

im off to bed - keep the ideas coming

if someone wants a challenge - can you find out what each relay does on the front bad - poss with pics

Stu

right then - bit of an update ( and its not a good one )

1 - tried to pull the error codes from the car - there is none - so thats a downer
2 - asked on the yank forum - even they are stuck - aussy one next
3 - took the IC off to see if we had dislodged anything - nope
4 - got a helper round - always helps
5 - the clicking is in 2 places - one near the alternator ( this could be in the injectors going mad )
6 - the other is the ROUND relay on the front bar - but NO idea what this is
7 - the EGI relay ( up by the leading coils ) - this seems OK - clicks once when you turn the car on and clicks once when you turn it off
8 - the fuel pump seems to be running when the clicking is happening - so this is prob causing the flooding probs - loads of juice
9 - still cant get the radio to work

right chaps - need some help with this one - im stuck well and truely

The duty solanoid is by the alternator,  that clicks.  you can un plug that as you dont need it to start the car.  it just up the boost a little when the ecu allows it to.  Might help narrowing things down.

Do you want another helper on Sunday ?

Shaun

[grinder]

duty selanoid - i have heard of it - but no idea where it is

[grinder]

i know this might sound daft but a good way to explain

the top plenum ( the 4 pipe thingy under the IC )

you can see the end of a pipe thats about 3/4 round that runs under the 4 pipes - this is the thing that seems to click

now im not sure if this is a fuel rail .. hence me thinking its the injectors ??

im stumped on this i really am - but im not electrically minded

Stu

[grinder]

shaun - not sure yet buddy - might have given up by then !!

[shaunwil]

Don\'t give up buddy, It will fire, you just don\'t know whats causing yet !

I presume you have checked the fueses?

If there is a Spark and Fuel i\'d treat it as a flood and keep trying.

Does it have good compresion when you spin it over with the plugs out (does the psshh noise sound loud)?

The more i think about it, i would seriously try Unpluging the Fuel pump and use Easystart to get it to fire, once it fires plug the Pump back in, there should be more than enough fuel knocking about to start it.

Being an Auto it must be putting quite a bit of fuel in there every time the rotor passes the Inlet.

When you spin it over with the Plugs out is there alot of White smoke being pushed out of the plug holes?

I have had cars flood so bad thet the only way i could get it going was to toe it and to be honist it makes you feel that there is a problem thats not there.

Do you have a little compressor? i\'d be tempted to stick an air line in the plug hole with the Plugs out (oviously) and blow lots of air in (make sure its just air that goes in ) then turn it 120 then do it again etc until they have all the baths have had 10 mins of air blown through and then you know they will be dry. Warm the plugs up and try again.
