Hi all following some very useful help from some people from the post below. i have not been able to track down why my engine will not start. I think i really need someone who knows more than me to posible come and actually work on car happy to pay for any expenses and or time etc just would like it running and back on the road.

What setup are you using - are you running EDIS , AlphaN , Ms1/2 , Extra ........... etc ?

hi Claire

its edis, Alpha N, ms2 extra, 1.3 crossflow with those fantastic throttle boddies you did with 100cc/min injectors (only small power at moment till i upgrade), no idle control and no map sensor.

thanks

So.........do you have a spark with the SAW disconnected ?

Yes have spark tested injectors and there all ok

Does it even try?

Have you put a timing light on there to check you ignition timing is correct?

David

It trys to go but fires for a second then stops like the ignition is cut have tried all the normal warm up afterstart but no joy

What do datalogs show?

If its firing thats usually a good sign that its not far off.

David

First thing I would try is to open the butterflies a little with the tickover screw , then try upping the req. fuel a little at a time untill it runs - that first start is allways the hardest ( ) and wont matter if it's a bit rich...........

Got the datalog of the start up but can't really make sence of it. Increased the req fuel steadily up to 30 believe it or not but didn't help. Really lost have read the manuals several times but no joy just feel someone who knows how to work these things it would probably start in about an hour or so

U2U sent..............

Replied thanks very much
