Guest Aaron Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 OK, car has been stood not used for well over a month. Have just replaced the cambelt pully. Im pretty sure I got all the timing right. The fan belt is back how it should be also. The problem. Battery completely dead, wont hold charge. The bigger problem. Took me and a mate about an hour to coax the engine into turning over from a jump. I know theres enough power to jump her from my mates car, as ive done it many times before. When I eventually got the engine started, masses of black smoke coming out the exhaust, also the engine really sounds bad and lumpy. I have to rev to stop the car from cutting out also. Any ideas, and what should i do? Cheers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 double check the timing and check the coolant temp sensor, you getting any error codes? double check all coil pack connectors too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitesupraboy2 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 got to say it mate, check the crank and pulleys to check its all aligned right. If thats ok, the fuel in car may be causing it. could also be stuck injector off top of my head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VELOCITY Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 It does sound like the timings out i would double check that first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Have just replaced the cambelt pully. Im pretty sure I got all the timing right. Which pulley do you mean? Could you have got the timing 180 degrees out? I presume you know the crank revolves twice for every one revolution of the cams? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ric Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 yes The timing should be set at 0 degrees with piston 1 at TDC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Fuel Dude. I have to leave the bike and car for 4 months and never has one not started on a jump. Timing etc can't go out leavin't alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Aaron Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Thanks guys, ill double check the timing first, but i did do the 2 revolutions test on the crank pully to see if the timing pullies were aligned and they were. Maybe the white lines are set wrong on the pulies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suprattgaz Posted April 27, 2007 Share Posted April 27, 2007 Fuel goes off after a period of time. Also it is always lumpy after the battery has died whilst the ECU re-learns the map. It will settle after 3 runs or so. As for the big puff doesn't sound too good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
