ok so start of this week i set out to replace all the coolant hoses below and into the intake manifold

i've done that relatively issue free

finished putting it back together today i go to kick it over and it won't start. the starter goes but that's about it

this is what i have done so far:

checked there is fuel pressure (which i hilariously copped in the face)

checked all the vaccum hoses etc

used new genuine gaskets for both parts of the intake manifold

been over everything with a multi-meter - everything has power; spark plugs, fuel injectors, ignitor box, afm

checked spark plugs - ok (changed them not that long ago)

checked all fuses

i did manage to short out on the starter motor when i was doing up the bolts under the plenum (should had d/c'ed the battery, i know)

so i thought maybe the ecu is fooked, luckily enough i have a spare one from an old project i was going to undertake i plugged it in and it's the same

i tried just starting without any ecu and it's exactly the same as trying to start it with an ecu, starter turns over but there is just no combustion..

even have a video of me trying to kick it over:

any help would be awesome thanks

i've just been made aware that the fuel lines are on the wrong way lolz fuel out goes through the fpr not the other way around. I'll get onto it tomorrow morning
That would have been my first question.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
