It’s definitely timing. Got her running and restarting sounds a Little lumpy. Going to my brothers later who has timing light. i have noticed there is no vacuum pipe to the distributor? Is this needed thanks to all and to Ray.

Newer "oem" ones are 1.4kw. Think this is the one I ended up with https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-0-FORD-PINTO-LIGHTWEIGHT-UPRATED-STARTER-MOTOR-LRS00543-LRS00109-LRS00110/273796747058?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649

FFS - ok, panic over, all sorted. It seems that the ECU wasn't saving the TPS settings or I was somehow doing it wrong. After the last engine run, I noticed that it showed only 30% travel (in the Emerald software) when I was almost at full throttle. So I did one last reset and I had to come in to do some work. Went back out after work and started straight up, idling as normal. I dunno - might go again, probably at 4am when I need to leave for Wales Thank you all for your suggestions
