16v

hi just got my hands on a mk2 16v just finished some head work and all back together starts no probs and we try it a number of times no probs then nothing now wont start at all any or ideas anybody think it could be the fuel pressure regulator valve
thanks for looking

 

accumulator

 

make sure the timing is spot on. if the head has been off make sure the timing is spot on

also check for fuel, and check for a spark at both coil and ends of ht leads

 

From what you told me earlier Gareth, it sounds like it starts most times, but occasionaly won't fire up, correct?

Should rule timing/fuel supply out, if it is intermittent like that. Maybe i misread you earlier though.

 

ok bazza thanks for the reply the car has plenty of spark and fuelstarts like a dream leave it running no probs start 5 times out of five
than when you want to start the car again IT WILL NOT
but plenty spark PLENTY FUEL but will not fire is there a pressure regulator or somthing

 

When it doesn't start are the plugs flooded with fuel?

 

yep FLODDED

 

hi and yes the plugs are very wet

 

Is the blue cold start valve on the end of the manifold spraying all the time/intermittently getting stuck?

Unplug it and see if it make any difference, or change it for another

 

hi just reading some of your old posts on the site and will have a llok at that a bit later.
thanks for getting back to me all new the 16v to me but will get there
