The engine has been out the car for quite some time !

Engine is back in now but failing to get it to start .

it's been of the road 2 years !
 
  dan's cast offs.
yeah, just noticed you've got a few threads running!! will read through your original one.

Yeah engine has been out Afew years .

im not running air con any more so that may cover Afew but wondering if my tdc sensor has gone bad again.

i fitted a new tdc sensor and loom which seemed to cure it but I'm sure before I removed engine I was getting the starting issue again

Ive checked tonight .

Car is getting spark , fuel pump is priming and fuel is getting to the rail but the injectors are not firing.

I have electrical fault sign displayed on dash , my shitty code reader is not reading any faults !

Have you checked the throttle body is opening/working? Mine would not start because throttle body had failed.

I would push the throttle body open, then just get something to hold it open a little? Place screw driver in there? Holds the flap open. If it starts it might idle high.
Or do you have a 172? They have cable operated throttle body and this won't matter

mine is a 53 plate and is electronic throttle .

Dan any ideas what to check next , I think I need somebody with a decent code reader as the electrical fault light is on dash.

Somethink is preventing the injectors from firing , its getting to the rail but no further .

Ive checked for spark , and spark is present

Mine jammed shut so car could not get air and start. I had gave up with the car. But my brother would not let it beat him, he accidentally caused an air leak and it started lol

Even checking your second key? The battery disconnect for 10?
But like dan said lots to go through unfortunately .
You could do a search and check what's worked for others with similar problems? Trying not to spend too much money buying parts you did not need to buy? maybe you could borrow a friend with Clio and try his good bits ?

Yeah I know ive spent a lot on the car and I have never driven it !

was a project track car and has just been one massive headache !

sometimes I just wish I had never started !
