Bizzyfingers Posted August 18, 2015 Author Share Posted August 18, 2015 As mentioned swampy there is very good spark just very little fuel. The uprated fuel pump has been ordered. The engine sounds sweet when cranking, my mate who has been helping (mechanic for 20+ years) said he thinks it sounds sweet. I'll put the pump on it on Sunday, I'll check timing plus compression and hopefully we should get some life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bizzyfingers Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've got the car to fire, had to use the jumper on the diagnostic pins (fuel pump Ecu goosed). My trouble now is after finally getting it to run the engine has an intermittent knock/rattle. It's not repetitive, sounds like something floating around in the rocker covers, took them off and nothing seems obviously wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzyfingers Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 BTW it was the fuel pump. Pulled it, put 12v over it and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Pour water on the auxiliary belt, or give it a light spray of WD40. Do either with the engine idling. Does the noise stop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzyfingers Posted August 22, 2015 Author Share Posted August 22, 2015 Took the belt off all together mate. Still same noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Spray the cam belt then, try that. Rusty belt pulleys can cause noise similar to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzyfingers Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 Ahh thanks I'll give that a go. Cheers Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Whilst you have the top cover off see if there's excess play in the cam belt, or missing teeth, could be a tensioner problem or an aged belt. So hard to diagnose from videos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bizzyfingers Posted August 23, 2015 Author Share Posted August 23, 2015 The belt was done just before the car was scrapped. The belt is in good condition (still getting changed before the conversion) there is no cracks, no missing teeth and generally good nick.
