    turns over, not start

    I had a fuel pressure issue a week or so ago, it was just trickling out of the valve on the fuel rail and the car just would not start. The solution was to prime the pump 4 or 5 times (switch ignition on for 10 seconds but don't try and turn engine over x 5). Then I checked the fuel pressure and...

    A big thank you to all contributors and staff ;) I've learned a hell of a lot about this engine from this site and vvoc in a very short period of time. To tell you the truth if I'd known in advance about the 2.2 timing chain I wouldn't have bought the car in the first place :ROFLMAO:

    O.k. engine quiet and smooth so far and then the other 2 busses turned up. An eml light and a brake light failure :ROFLMAO: I'm wondering if I should swap out the fuel pressure regulator?

    Perseverance is King. I had the Egr valve off and tested that with the battery all working fine. So I decided there was nothing more to do but bolt it all up and call it a day. I thought I'd look at the fuel pressure before going in and I noticed it took 4 turns of the ignition to get the...

    Yes mr.V I have a long socket jamming the throttle open. Well the plot thickens. I re-tried the test twice more with a recharged battery each time (about an hour apart each time) and the readings keep changing. My results: Test 1 Test 2 Test 3 1: 130 psi...

    Thanks for that. I just want to make sure I'm doing this properly, injector wiring plugs off. Fuel pump relay out. All four plugs out, WOT.

    Just re-read: Do you mean on each cylinder or if I get different compression readings when I re-check them?

    That's a dry test. I was going to verify that test with a freshly charged battery before trying a wet test. I have just been reading up on the fuel pressure test you recommend on another thread. I'm not sure yet if I'm getting enough fuel pressure. I have pressed the valve in and fuel didn't...

    So compression test done and after lots of googling I'm not 100% sure on the correct interpretation of the results other than they are slightly low. Vocky has said minimum should be 163: https://z22se.co.uk/threads/cylinder-compression.3768/ My results: 1: 130 psi 2: 110 psi 3: 130 psi 4...

    It was running, just had minor cold starting issues and a slight rattle at cold start. The FAI kit was bought from here and I have checked, checked, checked and checked again, before and now after fitting the chain. I did find the intake chain guide snapped off at the hidden bolt so it was...

    It all looks timed in from here. What have you spotted?

    Maybe not. 2 teeth in advance of the mark on each sprocket. Should be timed properly then :)

    Hey IDI bank holiday weekend was hard to get suitable spark plugs, am going to grab the other car when the missus gets in from work and pop out and get some. Just topped the battery back up to full charge. I'm also going to count the links between the timing marks later this afternoon just to...

    Was on the phone to my local branch earlier and was told they're currently running a click and collect promotion whereby its around 25% cheaper to click n collect than to go in and ask over the counter for the same parts. (y)

    I did activate it but as I don't have a reference to how tight a "good un" would be it seemed wise to post a vid as a reference in the quest to get this sorted (y)
