I having trouble getting my S1 33 (n/a) to kick over it just keeps winding over and over.

It appears the spark isn't quite strong enough its very weak when I put it against the rocker cover as someone tries to start it

I've replaced battery, starter motor, checked fuses changed coils and spark plugs.<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252); ">Recently have had Injectors flushed/cleaned with one replaced.<br style="color: rgb(28, 40, 55); font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; background-color: rgb(250, 251, 252); ">

Could it be fuel pump if so how to test ?

or my ignitor pack that sits on the coil cover i've noticed a small crack on the underside of the unit could that be a cause ?

A few days before it just didn't kick over at all i noticed it was taking longer than normal to kick over but it was quite hot on those days so i thought it was just the heat.

If anyone lives in the S.E and has a diag unit and is able to plug it in and work out what's wrong there may me a few beers/drinks involved for the help

Hmmm forgot to mention i have replaced the afm not long before i had the injectors cleaned.

But that was a 2nd hand one i have tried both of my afm's still had no luck.

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
