Car Wont Start After Rebuild...

[Swiper the Fox]

I may have fouled the  plugs now with all the cranking.

maybe cas has been broken somehow.

you can remove it and turn it by hand....you should hear the injectors squirting fuel. And yes you may have fouled the plugs with all that cranking

the final (rear) bolt (12mm) that secures the alloy coil pack frames should have an earth eyelet under it.

thanks.

[knore]

go go gadget rb25!

get some video of her starting up

[DriftSquad]

yeah that would be sick lol.... then u all gotta jump in the air when it cranks

[The Mafia]

that would be the most wicked thing... Building a motor and seeing it start for the first time.

Good luck mate, hope you work it out

[proengines]

Did putting spark plugs in it make any difference?

Sorry Adam, we always leave them out so it can be cranked easily to bring up oil pressure. I just bolted the coils back in so they wouldn't get damaged in freight (maybe that was a lucky thing).

I'll fix you up for the plugs, we always throw them out when we do an engine, we've had too many problems with people reusing the old plugs and having a miss or hard starting problem.

[Abo Bob]

It runs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111111111111111111111111

You'd never guess but the engine builder didn't put my spark plugs back in and I just assumed he had. I did notice that it was cranking fairly easily.

Put some new plugs in last night, a little bit of stuffing around and away she went.

I don't have a video recorder but I was laughing hysterically when I pulled out the first coil pack expecting to find a fouled plug but instead found no plug.

hahaha. Just a little difference!

Oil pressure was good obviously.

I probably would have thrown the plugs out myself except for the fact that they were iridiums with about 2000k's on them.

[Wink]

Great news Adam!

[Bobjones]

Great News!!

And great entertainment, I nearly pissed myself after reading there was no plugs!!!

And yes alot of places remove the plugs, mine did

[Beer Baron]

how was the maiden burnout??

good work mate.

[Abo Bob]

No burnouts yet. I haven't even bled the cooling system.

Yes I laughed hard too.

That one of the funniest thing i have read in ages, how we over look the simple things sometimes. Well all the best with the run in as i'm doing the same, up to 370kms now and everything looks sweet.
