Hey guys My VL Turbo wont start , has enough charge and spark just won't fire up , afm is working , brand new battery , fuel pumps workin , brand new NGK Iridium plugs , brand new crank angle sensor all fitted and no difference , started once with a jump start and was blowin out black smoke and idlin like a dog and all jumpy , please help as im clueless to what it could be , thx

Stock ECU? run the error codes.. could be your temp sender?

Yea bro runnin a stock computer and yea it won't start now , there's unburnt fuel on the plugs too

Has it got spark? take off one of the leads, Stick your finger in and try starting the car... OK OK DONT DO THAT! it will be painful :P put a rubber handled screw driver in and hold it 5mmish away from something like your engine crain mount point, you will see sparks.

Hahaha , yea bro already tried it and has spark with the brand new plugs , I got no idea what it is

Brand new CAS as in changed the whole Dissy? sure you didnt put it back in wrong ie, 180deg out? would explain why it is not wanting to start/ running like **** (smoke) Otherwise poor earth, or corroded batt terminals, boiling water/ wire brush. Get a multimeter over it?

check all the plugs are nice and tight, and look into the AFM & CAS plugs to check the sockets are nice and straight for the pins. Have you done anything recent under the engine bay you may of knocked something of or anything? not saying you did put even puting the leads on in the wrong order could effect this when u done the plugs Check the fuse's and maybe swap some of the relays to others that could possibly make it start. My inter cooler piping hit the dizzy and knocked the ignition timing right down could be worth checking out. but yeah i'm real out of ideas haha

_Calturb - yea mate I bought the cas with instructions and put it all in as it said and yea still not startin but ill try the multi meter idea mate and check over the cas again , thx Michael2427 - yea bro I was also thinkin the timin could b off , been like this for nearly 2 weeks now , got no idea what itd b anymore haha

hey guys My mate reckons the plugs arent meant for the car ( NGK Iridium plugs ) , on the book at SuperCheap it said theyd suit and it was runnin like a dog with the old plugs it juz didnt start thats why I replaced the plugs , I honestly dont think its the plugs , any ideas ???? I really have no idea to what it could be and its ***n pissin me off

pull a plug out, plug it into the lead and eirth it out, try starting the car and it will spark.. You hope. also gap them right. When you try starting the car with a spark plug missing it will make some odd sounds becuase no compression in the cly, all good. just dont run the car if it starts, Fuel will come out.

thx mate and yea theres spark it just wont fire up whatsoever tried 3 crank angle sensors and replaced the plugs to the new NGK Iridiums and still no go also added a whole bottle of Injector cleaner and went first go but still runnin like a dog , I have no idea what it is

are u 100% the timings not out, if your getting good fuel pressure and good spark and all your sensors are alright theres not much more it could be

**** fuel? injector cleaner is full of octane n that isn't it, may of helped it start

FORZA - that's what I think , coz it couldn't be the plugs when it was runnin the same with the old plugs just no spark ?? Michael2427 - I run BP Ultimate in it bro and yea the injector cleaner started it first go it was just runnin like a dog spittin out black smoke and that now it won't even fire up

Ill check man , it all happened after I was drivin one day , turned it off at the servo then wouldn't turn back on , does anyone agree on the plugs ?? Coz my mates deadset on thinkin its got the wrong plugs

My money is on the fuel pressure reg. Diaphram may have siezed causing high pressure. This would explain the black smoke. Return line may have a blockage in the tank.....happened to me a few years back. Pull the line off at the tank and run it into a bucket then see if it will start.

got vac?

Does it even have fuel? if injector cleaner got it going first go was that just becuase it had a higher level to suck from?

Yea man has about a quarter tank n a half of fuel , vacc is workin 2 and ill check the fuel pressure regulator if it is might buy a Malpassi one , thx again guys , cars cursed haha
