Post by **poofpaddy** » 28 Dec 2007, 05:15

Hi everyone please can anyone help
I've rebuilt a 2.1 dj engine and got it on a stand with complete wiring loom ecu exhaust etc.Got power to the injectors and have a spark,idle stabilizer working and fuel pump.Excellent compression as new pistons & barrels but will not fire up.Is there something I'm missing or fail safe device?

No radiator connected up yet or any of the oil/cooling sensors as no dash board etc

PLEASE CAN ANYONE HELP
Kind regards Marc

have you tried cranking it over with one of the injectors out, pointing into a jar, to make sure fuel is getting thru? can't be much wrong on the ign. side of things if there's a spark, and if the comp. is good, seems like a fuel prob.
good luck with it mate!

leads on in right order...

but you dont want to run it for very long without coolant though... or all the hard work will be wasted...

Is it all earthed up ?

Is there fuel and a spark there ?

Thanks everyone for your help
I've got a spark
Leads on in the right order and distributor in TDC position
Fuel to fuel pressure regulator and down to injector rail

Next thing I'll check too see if coming out of injectors

Thanks everyone for your help worked it out in the end.
The injector plugs where on the wrong way round and the after market
electric fuel pump wasn't man enough.

Runs now but only for a few seconds as no water

Next step is too find a donor

Kind regards Marc
