Trying to get my new engine started but all I am getting is backfire, timing issues...

cams are timed roughly to the correct deg. but there is nothing happening the right way...

???

engine is a 2.0l silvertop zetec... having great difficulty finding any help online... which is tricky and frustrating in understanding what is going on.

can anyone shed any light on the basic settings for the zetec...

cranking ignition is 44.9
and gen tps vs spd ign is 23 deg

which all seems incorrect... but I am confused as to my next step...

hope someone can shed some light...
many thanks in advance


ECU is an MBE 970

check the coil pack wiring is corect

As wasa says, check the coil wiring is the right way round. Mine did the same with megajolt because i had the 2 coil wires the wrong way round.

check this the other week... however.. going to check it again and make sure that it ain't wrong

Exactly the same problem with my 1.8 silvertop coil pack wiring wron resulting in firing order being 180 degrees out changed it an voilla fired up staright away then burnt my leg on the exhaust. every cloud

Might be worth swapping the plug leads around to check ?

sorry chaps.. mate of mine came over last night...

did just that...

kin thing started straight away...

small job to change them over this week then...

result... MANY MANY Thanks fellas
