Hi
Some good tips here for you. Here's a cuople more for you to check over, If fuel pump is on its way out then may not be enough pressure to fine spray the fuel into the cyls, so could just be dribbling in via injectors & flooding engine. Try getting a pressure check for the fuel, eaisy to do, happened to one of my s12s, however I was able to run, so long as it was on a flat road, any need for power & she would splutter & cut out. My S13's Fuel regualor, when it packed up, did the same & just wouldn't start, but I ve no heard of S12 fuel regualors going. You can dig out the ECU,(is located in the side pannel of the passenger footwell) & run a self diagnostic, which might point you in the right direction. newer ECU's have the fault codes written on the top of the box. if the AFL(Air flow metre) is knackered, or has become disconnnected. As has been said, if any of the air intake pipes, turbo to plenum chamber is disconected then def wont start. Just a few for you to look into. Good luck daz |

Thanks for the info Daz and everyone else
I went to try some of these ideas at the weekend, but my mate had decided to have a go for me and has stripped all the pulleys and belts off, so I'm just gonna leave him to it as I don't where he got up to. haven't seen him this week to have a go at him - I hate it when people touch my stuff without asking. ![]()

Does he know what he's doing? You can check the cam timing without doing things like that. Tell him to use a timing light next time

Put the bits back on today, churned it over with the pump disconnected in the boot, as advised earlier.
Connected it up again, and she fired but not on all 4. Figured the plugs would be all fouled up so swapped them out for a shiny new set and all is good again. Thanks to everyone for their advice, and hopefully the MOT will be coming soon. No doubt I'll be back for more advice ![]()

Cheers
need to get a timing light on it now, as it has a dead-spot as you try to rev it. ![]()
