fiddled with the dizy and it all seems like it is timed right, left my battery on charge all last nite and the charger was telling me it basically full. but it still dosent crank, and sounding like the battery is flat? i will try get my hands on another battery and try that but all is left to do is start it and im havin trouble doin that!haha

Haha, I will not attempt to start up a car for the first time without a fire extinguisher on hand !!! [88]

Good to see some progress Rhys... Why dont you try to get the engine running on fuel only to begin with and then once you've got that sorted you can then make the ecu control the spark aswell ?

Good luck with it anyways

she starts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!many many thanks to lucas and Rhys for there effort tonight, have to go get smashed at the seaford tav sometime soon!

but anyways after alot of freaking with the timing she started and ran on her own which is a huge step!!! gave up on spark for now half way thru the night, will eventually come back to it.

there are a few issues we noticed while she was running they are:

a freak load of oil came out and on to the floor, and from a brief look it seems that it all cam from the dip stick where it wasn't pushed in right, is there any other reason besides that oil may piss out on the right had side of the motor?

and my second which is my main drama is my oil breather on top of the rocker cover is forsing large amounts of air out? and on more than a occasion amouunts of splattered oil aswell.......WHY?? is there a set reason for this?

anyway even with its problems i am still so stoked to finally here her again (even tho she is sounding like poo poo right now). next step is find out these issues then try get her into a dyno!





a special thanks to andrew, who has helped a poo poo load through this efi set up. answering all my stupid questions and even fixing my unit itself! top bloke!!

cheers
Rhys
