Seized Crank - Its Alive :-) !!!

Cheers for all the help above everyone, its much appreciated

Will try everything thats been said over this week and hopefully get it started.

Thanks Jonny. I'll see if the new earths help me out, if not i'll definitely try a new starter.

Im sure me and my brother have a spare one somewhere when we stripped a Mk3.

Tell me about it Its sold now though

 

Looks like im not the only one who has come across this problem -

Think i'll try a new starter and see from there

 

Well ive managed to pick up a spare starter on the home from a trusted source.

Will give it a try once ive eaten my KFC

Lets hope it works this time

 

Good luck!! Can't wait for you to get this running, I have my fingers craoosed for you

 

This must be a big bucket of KFC

Lets hope it works!
If it does work you might be a little annoyed that you took the engine out for no reason

 

Cheers guys ^^

Guess what -

Its turning So pleased the engine is fine.

But!!! it wont stay fired up and run.

All 4 coilpacks are sparking, plugs are wet but it wont stay on ?

Any ideas ?

 

Cheers mate

Yep, the plugs are wet.

As the PCV system hasn't been added, would this cause any issues.

Ive blocked off all the un-used vacuum hoses.

Im also thinking the Crankshaft position sensor may not be torqued up properly. Would this stop it from going ?

 

It feels like it wants to fire up just doesn't ?

Could the crank sensor cause this ?

 

Glad it turns over!
Cant quite see from the video but do you have the MAF plugged in?

 

Edited lol...

Yep, everything is plugged in Matt

All the vacuum lines for the DV, N75 ect are there.

I'll double check the crank sensor tomorrow, im sure ive read before that it these are not in properly, the engine wont fire ?

 

The engine is turning over, Its just not firing
Do you have vag-com?

 

Nope. Haven't had the change to wire the diag ports in yet ?

So its getting -

* Spark to all 4 coils
* Fuel is getting through as plugs are wet
* Engine is turning over freely
* Vacuum pipes are on
* Intercooler and piping is fitted

.....

?

 

Its gonna have a load of codes, wire in the K-line then power & earth to the diagnostic port,then get them read/cleared and try it again.
Well done mind :-) SO close now!

 

No spark without crank sensor I thought

 

I imagine that's correct Matt, if it doesn't know where the engine is in the cycle it won't know when to fire?

 

And no ignition amp means no spark either. Will be interesting too see what the diagnostic says

 

What colour is the spark? Blue? Yellow?
