starting issue after rebuild

[The Big Yin]

ok my dad just rebuilt my engine

engine has been fitted back into the car and all wired up,

now we are having issues starting it, seems like we are back to where we started before we done the rebuild, not starting haha



when cranking the car it initially turns over quickly, then there is a kind of pop and it doesnt turn over so quickly, sounds like it is coming from around the t-vis, and airfilter area its kind of hollow


there is also a fuel leak from around the injectors but we know that is the seals new set is ordered, could this be causing the starting issues?

my dad thinks the pop noise is a backfire :confused:

anyone got any ideas?

oh and there is an earth lose from the gearboox to the chassis noticed it brfore i came in here, but dont think that would cause a staring issue would it?





also this lead, does anyone know where it should go?






damn car i just want it back

Blue plug goes to your TVIS under the manifold. Check you have the distributor correctly lined up.

my gues is the distrib take it out and reset it to correct line up. (check 4age manual) then time the engine

Check the wiring diagram and see what is the purpose of that wiring point.

The problem is only with the starter or with ignition/injection?

also if your backfiring through the intake try setting your intake cam ahead 180 degrees so that those valves are shut during the ingition stroke.

?? Before you do this, make sure the dizzy isn't 180 degrees out!

And no, a missing earth won't cause the problem you describe.
