Check the micro switch on the throttle stop. The car won't start if switch is open

nether did i, check the volts on the injectors also check the pressure relief valve , i had a problem a few years ago over pressure, would not run but big back fires , found the pressure valve faulty giving full pump pressure

Hi dave glad you've found a definite for non start ,I would have thought the amount of cranking yester day would have given 4 very wet plugs but there seemed to be not a whiff also remember to have the air flow meter piped up as it tell s the ecu how much fuel to allow to injectors , my knowledge of the system is some what basic it was really only just coming in when I spent a a couple of years at Ford main dealer , plod on mate some one on here will have the answer mick

Got 12v to injectors timing now ok will try to start but not run and still no fuel

check injectors using a set of noid lights loads on ebay cheap check to see if they are fireing

[Guest Dtr36]

done algee and they are pulsing

did have it running briefly any idea on best timing to set at etc will have a go tonight with strobe

book says injection engine 12 deg before dtc if i remember correct. I know Derek had problems a couple of years ago might be worth sending him a PM

[philshelton]

see post in your other topic sensor locations. I think you problem is the auto trans inhibitor switch

[Guest zerorace]

Is the fuel regulator holding pressure in the line when cranking also as phil said link out the gearbox switch but normally won't let you crank the engine if this is open and everything is still controlled by the ecu.

there is a wire goes to pin 30 of the ecu as well as the starter been trying to find a drawing for the ecu its self but no luck yet

Got it running now but it's turns over slow before starting and will not rev full throttle

[Guest Dtr36]

New battery think it's a timing issue
