Mk1 Valver Conversion Problems

[baddasschris]

Just dropped a valver engine into my mk1.

Everything connecting up and electrics working fine now (thanks to TD172 For the ECU)

Finally Managed to change the fuel pump this week, tried to start it for the first time and its turning over fine but not even attempting to fire.

Any Ideas on what to check first?
I took a bit of a gamble of which fuel hose was the feed and return so this could be the problem, the top hose on the injection rail is feed? What about the colours on the fuel pump? anyone know them?

Info or ideas on what to check appreciated
Thanks

The bottom is rail feed. top is return, is the rev counter moving? if not crank sensor isnt reading

 

[The Fatty]

have you got a spark?

 

[baddasschris]

Sound job!
got the fuel hoses mixed up for a start.
Didnt take any notice of rev counter.
Will check spark, how do i do this now? hold a plug and lead (carefully) to the chassis?

Thanks

Cant have a look at it untill the weekend but keep the ideas coming in please guys

 

[The Fatty]

yeah..., or just listen for clicking sound from the plugs ^^^^

 

[baddasschris]

the fuel sytem runs in a pressurised loop anyway doesnt it? so it should at least fire even if the lines were the wrong way round?

or is there some sort of one way valve in the system?

 

[The Fatty]

i think you'll find its not sparking. have you setup the immobaliser correctly? codes all set and ok?

 

[baddasschris]

no, i changed the ecu for a phase 1 ecu which wernt immobilised so i havn't got a standard renault immobiliser.

if the rev counter is moving it will usually indecate there is spark and fuel
