I suck, my UK FC doesnt start after work

[Koose]

Hi guys

As you know, fuel pump fixed my car. (UK 1991 FC3S TII) I then cleaned the engine bay, it still ran fine. I then:

Removed ACV and EGR, fitted an induction kit, removed viscous fan, fitted electric fan, pulled cat off, had intercooler off to clean up manifold.

And now, she wont bloody start, i suck b4lls.

But also, can anyone give me any ideas ?

Some pictures that may give anyone a hint as to what ive done wrong. It doesnt have the PAS belt on, but that cant be why right ? And the vac lines that have tape on in the pics were properly sealed when trying to start her.

Also, there is a female single wire plug thats unplugged as you can see highlighted in a red circle, anyone know what it is ?












Heeeelllp

Hmm, pics have come out very small, for more detail in a bigger size see here:

Don\'t worry about the circular connector, man.  I\'ve got the same one disconnected on mine.  When you say it won\'t start, will the engine turn at all or are you getting nothing out of it?  Does it sound like it wants to fire?

[Koose]

OK sweet, it turns over fine, and i can smell fuel, quite alot of it. It initially felt like it wanted to try and fire and cough, but then nothing.

Have you checked to see if its flooded?

[Koose]

Would it have flooded straight away though ?

[Koose]

Agghhh, getting disheartened, would the ecu be copping a strop due removing the acv and egr ? Also i havent got the new downpipe yet, but id hooked up the rest of the exhaust, so only has the original downpipe, then to atmosphere. Clutching at straws here.

sorry cant help with your non start problem but i noticed your omp lines have no oil in them? :2eek maybe just the angle im seeing it at or maybe youve got clean oil :Giggle

Perhaps try unplugging and then re-plugging in the air flow meter as maybe the connector is loose when you changed the air filter?

I would suggest trying a de-flood procedue anyway, what sort of gasket/sealent did you use to block off the air pump? Has the ECU thrown any error codes?

[grinder]

they can flood pretty quick to be honest

if you can smell fuel then its not a good sign

whip out the plugs and check

on the TII - you can floor the loud pedal and it should cut the fuel off when you start the car ( helps if its flooded - but if its really bad - then it wont at all )

or you can pull the EGI fuse and crank and see if that will dump some of the excess fuel aswell

[haywes]

They can flood pretty easily; as grinder said, whenever I\'ve needed to, I just pull out the EGI fuse and turn it over a few times. Once I put it back in it fires up straight away no problem. Maybe check the plugs too, as if they\'ve got some build up on them that doesn\'t help!

I would start with the easy (ish) stuff first mate-pull the plugs and have a looksy.

[Koose]

OK, put my new plugs in and it runs like a dream. Dont you just love cars...
