Personally I'd put some fresh plugs in it (that way you know they're not flooded with fuel and not firing when under compression), disconnect the wiring to the injectors (so you can't flood it), turn it over and try some easy-start in the inlet.

If that doesn't work then it's a timing issue. It'll be something stupidly simple in the end- a real "doh" moment.... It's not something really silly like connecting the fuel rail back to front is it? You get massive fuel pressure in the pipe and crazily rich running.....

I had a problem with my injection on the Cat which happened once or twice, the injectors, although clean, would stick closed if left for any time flashing 12v across them would free them. I would try the easystart to check for fuelling issues first and then work from there.

If its really being a bugger of a day... WALK AWAY. Go have a walk, have a cup ot tea (no beer) then return an hour later.

I used to fit Strowger (Electromechanical / Non Electronic) Telephone exchanges in a former life, and believe me there are a LOT of wires to terminate, and a right cow when it had a fault. You may have seem the number of wires in those green boxes on the side of the road. Well.... Imaging that being a three storey building FULL of wiring like that.
Somtimes the mind cannot see the wood for the trees. You need to give youself that break and take you mind off the problem. It really does help, and saves a fortune in phone calls to the Samaritans.

The walk away and tea routine works well I know. Take your time, and go step by step.

You know you have plenty of support from the forum.


You WILL get there in the end... It might just take a little longer than expected.

Its probably something simple.... It usually is.

Good Luck.


PS... Don't pop a fuse in your brain by stressing... regardless of how difficult it may be. You health is more important than anything.
