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
