wont start

[red vtec]

I have just replaced the airbox to  turbo pipe and the car won't start, I can hear the fuel pump, the starter turns over. I have pulled a plug and can't seem to see a spark, but it's hard to see yourself when cranking it over. I have checked the leads are on the dizzy etc, any ideas?

 

its a carb turbo

[Mr_John111]

Did you dislodge the coil HT lead?

Or perhaps the wires that go to the dizzy?

Unlikely but one of the wires to the coil?

[Sparky]

Yeah, I reckon it's 1 or 2 above.  Unless you've installed silicon and reducers, in which case the car will refuse to start on principle.  And I support its decision.

[red vtec]

The wires all seem to be firm and in place, the starter solinoid wire had come lose but I put that back on hence the starter turning over.

 

It's got to be a loose wire

[Sparky]

So, the 2-pin connector running from the boot to the distributor is OK?

[rogerch]

I'm assuming you didn't remove the boot/electrics. I'm going with coil, physically pull the HT lead out of the coil and replace it. I mean push it back in.

I have a two pin connector  with a green wire and a green and blue wire running from the ignition module, any ideas where this plugs in?

Chris, remember at "Beltfest" Mike6 telling us about the problem he had on his carb turbo which I'm sure involved the lead Sparky mentions, have a look at the thread he posted on how he sorted it out, it's quite recent.

[red vtec]

got it started, it was that lead.

 

Thanks

I remember beltfest

Try that lead Chris

[Sparky]

Who could forget Beltfest? :-)

[red vtec]

Yes you two were absolute stars.

[Sparky]

Well, I haven't heard from Simon Cowell yet...

[red vtec]

I'm sure you will when the Veyron needs a belt change

[Dave Freeman]

What would we do with mates with knowledge. Perhaps we should have a LOOSEWIRE fest.

I would like a tank fest

[Sparky]

In that case, I'd like a Smack Paul In The Face With A Wet Fish Fest.

[Trevsked]

I'll pop round in the morning and oblige. No thanks needed, it will be a pleasure.

 

Trevor.

[Sparky]

I bow to your selfless dedication.

I don't like fish
