Hi,
Okay, so.. I've been restoring my car over then past 3-4 years, its been stripped and rebuilt using about 90% of new parts. The engine has been out, stripped, head skim, repainted, cleaned and assembled with new bolt on parts such as starter, alternator, belts, water pump etc... All the internals are the same. Injectors had been sent away to be refurbed too.
Now its all back together it won't start. It turns over but I don't think I'm getting a spark and I can't hear the fuel pump kicking in. I can bridge the fuel pump relay so its on, so I know the actual fuel pump is working.
When I match the two marks on the cam cover with the marks on the cams, piston 1 is TDC. Is there a mark on the crank that needs lining up with these? I'm not sure.
I really am clutching at straws, I don't know if I've left a plug off or whether I've not put the engine together properly. I don't know.
Hopefully when I find what I'm missing, its something obvious and stupid.
Please help!
Cheers
