Hi, back from hols so a quick update.
Everything back together, checked all connectors, pipes, hoses and so on, refilled coolant, then tried a test turnover with no fuel. No nasty loud metallic noises but obviously no start.
Replaced fuel pump fuse and after waiting for everything to get primed, tried a start.
Fired first time and ran but really lumpy.
Turned off, checked everything again, reseated connections etc., and tried again. This time no firing just churning over. Sounds like it wants to fire every now and then but no joy. Exhaust smelled of fuel so must be getting fuel.
I’ve had error codes 1110, 1111 and 1120, but that’s most likely due to testing engine turnover with no bagpipes, plenum, or throttle bodies etc.
Just before posting this I tried one more time and persisted on the starter. Eventually fired up again, very lumpy and ticky-ticky but kept turning and accepted a gentle increase in revs to about 1500.
I’m hoping I’ve missed something along the way, but…
I have a sound recording of the engine but no idea how to post it!!
