Default few issues after replacing manifold.

Just replaced my manifold and inlet hose and parallel few mod. All back together now car turns over but will not fire the problem is that the pump is working when the keys are in the neutral position and stops working when turning over. Oh and the lights on the dash are lit but dim after keys are out of ignition.

You have an earthing issue or wire caught under the manifold. Also double check rhe battery is fully charged

Have you put the petrol lines(the 3 from the tank) back on in the right order fella.

Yeah believe so. The only one im not sure about is the one that went to the carbon canister. Was told to let that vent. Only one earth on the manifold seems ok just sanded up more tho. Battery was fully charged aswell

Your definatly getting a back feed to the dashboard. Disconnect things like oil pressure switch, alternator one by one till the dash lights go out. If you have a set off jump leads stick one of them on the neg battery terminal and the other end on the altenator to confirm its properly earthed
