Bores full of spilt/leaked or leaking injectors.

Loud clunk and the engine won't crank,have you tried cranking by hand? Cambelt snapped?

Swino

Could the injectors cause it? There the only things that were second hand so couldn't be 100% sure they were fine before hand but couldn't understand how they would cause it

Swino

Car cranks by hand no problem

Starter motor all wired up correctly? Fusible link or SB fuse blown?

Take plugs out and turn it over.

Swino

Didn't remover or touch starter has been fine until I changed injectors it's a hard noise to describe it wasn't the normal clicking noise it made a sort of clunk/pop noise engine didn't turn over it didn't try to continue turning over just got nothing from it really confused

Have I read this right? The car won't turn over/crank Or you saying it cranks but won't fire?

might be barking up the wrong tree n all that but are the 440s u have phase 2?

Swino

The car won't turn over mate

The fusible link would make a loud pop if blown.
All dash Lighs ok? Including cel

Swino

Yh there phase 2 I have the correct adapter inside with the longer bolts for the caps all sealed up can't find any leaks

v2 would be phase 1/1.5 so adapters would be needed. no idea what happens if phase 2 are installed on 1/1.5 rails without adapters

Swino

What's a fusible link?

1509joe

iTrader: (2)

That could all happen. Raw fuel in flat out

1509joe

Put 22mm socket on crank pulley see will it turn back a bit.

Swino

It does turn by hand when turning by hand can't hear any noise of anything hitting which just confused me more

You will find it in the under bonnet fusebox with the SB fuses

Injectors aren't seated correctly but would put money on it its fuel in the bores pull plugs out and try it then.

Swino

I'll try that in morning if it's that how would that have happend and how do I fix it? I've just gone and checked the fuses all fine

Disable fuel pump then try again.

Sounds electrical to me. If you can turn the engine over by hand without issue then unlikely to be a mechanical problem. If the starter motor refuses to even try and turn the engine then there's an electrical problem somewhere. You sure the battery is charged? If you got a multimeter see what the volts drop to when cranking the engine.

Otherwise I'd be looking at relay/fuse/sensor fault or disconnected.

Had same issue just now after fitting parellel fuel lines, high flow rails etc. I had the rails made to fit phase 1 manifold but accept phase 2 injectors so no adaptirs needed. First the rails weren't made right and pissed loads of fuel thru into my oil and exhaust. They were returned and sent back to me and put injectors back in and all was good and it ran fine....until I started it next day and ran really lumpy. I tried the next day and it didn't turn over just locked up. It did turn slightly by hand but as mentioned, I took out plugs and cranked by hand and fuel came out the front drivers side plug hole. I then took the rails out (with parellel lines this is easier) complete with injectors and fuel lines attached and got misses to turn to ignition. Fuel pissed out of the lower seal on front drivers side. If all is well when the fuel pump primes the system on ignition(car not running)the injectors should be closed and hold the fuel back. When I took the front drivers injector out I'd managed to squish the new lower seal!! Refitted with new lower seal and smeared a bit of Vaseline round the seals and it popped in nice and easy and problem solved. I did replace the oil just to be sure.

Swino

I will give it ago mate if it's just a squashed seal I'll be happy and hopefully get it sorted in time for my map

Swino
