Ive just put newer piston in and had to get newer engine top and cams but was not left in right place engine turns but will not start, plugs are full of petrol, has any on got a pick of where cam's are with covers off so can see if every thing is in right place thanks, 2.0L x20evx, thanks

[freecall666]

found a pic and timing is right so why is it not starting, just floods engine no water or oil, just fuel covering spark plugs,,, wny one thanks

[geoffr70]

have you ckecked all plugs and connectors are back in?

[freecall666]

yep all back on was running before ruff but running timing is spot on with pic found new belt etc, all plugs on, just gose pop pop pop and not start??? and the smell of fuel.

Well you asked for a picture of the cams so you could make sure they are in the right place (timing set correctly), then you say the timing is set correctly. How do you know? Did you do the job yourself or not?

If the timing is ok, you're getting fuel and a spark, and all connections are back in I can't think of anything else. Does it sound 'normal' when turning over? How long are you turning it over for? Check all your plugs to make sure you are getting a spark, then it could just be the engine is flooded as you say.

I'd try different plugs (not petrol soaked), then foot to the floor and keep on turning it over.

found a pick in search engine, open engine,timing marks and cam's in order, was thinking if the crank sensor wires have snaped some were, would that stop a spark? no banging sounds at all turns easy with plugs out, the pop pop could be the fuel being pumped out un burn't?? to dark and cold to be out -5c at mo just trying to keep warm frezzing turning engine over and over, doing it my self, going to have ago again in morning got battery on charge over night.

I think if the ECU isn't happy with the crank sensor info, it'll disable spark and fuel. So that wouldn't explain what you're seeing.

Are you sure you got the HT leads back onto the DIS in the right order?  I've got a sketch somewhere I can find if you're not 100% sure.

Edit: here you go :
 
                   Rear of DIS
                 #4            #2
Multiplug   
                 #1            #3
                   Front of DIS

thats how plugs are on mine, spark plugs not even a month old, leads about six months old, put the old dispack on that I know is working and give it ago again in morning. leaving battery off for to night on charge never know might be fine in morning after all electric has discharged from ecu etc, fingers crossed.

just been looking the book, say somthing not in detail, that the sprockets have to be line'd up (to the cams) now when I put the cams in the bolts were undun so could this be why its not starting, and if so how do I get it back in line, can the sproket just move like that any advice thanks

[freecall666]

think ive found it, there is a pin in the intake sprocket snaped any one know what size it is??? thanks

[05omegav6]

not to be negative, but you may need to pull the head off again as might have bent valves whilst trying to crank the engine... :-/

[feeutfo]

..and you went out at midnight to find this fault?

[freecall666]

all fixed mate came round and put his tester on it, and pin not missing just cold not see it, learning map was out of whack re-programmed it and started first time, runs nice and smooth no banging at all yipe!!! thanks OOF

[Brikhead]

Well done, glad you fixed it.
 
Reading the first post I had doubts that it would run...
