i am presuming it is turning over ok, just not firing etc.  does it sound like it should?  more info will help

[flatty]

its spinning over fine, there is a spark there, fuel pump is running, sounds like its tryin a couple of times,had the plugs out several times and spun over with egi fuse out, incase it had flooded.

its a 1995 tyrp r by the way, rebuilt with uprated seals etc standard turbos, just  induction, smic, and de cat

[rmagictastic]

ok,

did you build it??

[flatty]

yeah did the rebuild myself

[bobo]

my car Wont start 3days ago as well ,i think it need rebuild

[rmagictastic]

goo oh.

right then.
1. is there fuel on the plugs?? if there is then your fueulling should be ok (i was thinking of injectors.

2. Could be flooded, when you take the plugs out, squirt some oil in the chambers to give good compression, also heat the plugs on the cooker hob (or blow torch) try that.

ARe you sure there is spark?

Remove one plug.
Connect lead to it, and make sure the body of the plug is earthed, let it lie on the motor or something.
Now turn the starter and see if the plug is sparking.

Ok, so we have spark.

Now remove egi fuse.

remove black plastic elbow from throttle body.

Get a spray bottle and mix up some petrol with about 5% oil.

Get someone to crank starter, hold throttle open, and now spray some of your mixture in there, while cranking. Hopefully, the mixture will help compression, and once the right fuel/air mix is reached it might start.

Can you try a tow start?

Its flooded.

I had to use 10/40 motor oil to get mine to go.

Pull the EGI Replay, Pull the Trailing plugs, Crank the car over for 5x 15 seconds.  Put some 10/40 in a syringe and inject it into the chambers (about 10ml / chamber), rotate the engine by hand (i.e.. ES bolt and turn clockwise)

Reinstall the plugs, relay etc and try again

mine was flooded for the second time ever a week ago. took me about 10 mins to fire it up.

all i did was turn it over, turn the key all the way to completely off position and then try again. fired it up after a few minutes of this and then filled up the whole garage with unburnt fuel fumes
