how everyone doing got a yellow gtir that iv been building for a while bought the car as a rolling shell got it all running jst sorting out the body work on it 

p.s gt a lil problem with it car is not starting checkt everything fuel pump is priming checkt all the fusses fuel pump is sending fuel got spark aswell but nothing will not start at all

Hi and welcome to the forum .....i think i remember seeing a yellow shell up on ebay ages ago ..... have you recently fitted the engine or  it just stopped firing up after you have had it running ?

Hows it turning over also the more info you put up the easier it may be to point you in the right direction ?

thanks for the welcome engine has been fitted for some time nw was running sweet and everything just didt start it up for afew weeeks put fuel in today but didt want to start

its turning over like it wants to start but its jst not starting up

Check the wire on the battery, the short one that's about 3 inches long with two black plugs on it. If its broken or fraid bad it will stop the car starting!
Also check the brown square fuse that in the fuse box that's on the passenger side inner wing inside engine bay.
Also make sure you don't have the dizzy plug and gearbox plug mixed up. They are both the same plug and often get mixed up.

Also try taking plugs out and put them in the oven for 30 minutes then put them back in and try starting it.
Don't burn yourself on them tho lol

lol ill try not to iv had the engine in the car for about a year now and have checked everything all the wires all the pipes are all good was messing about with the bov as i wanted to relocate tryed starting it but nothing

It cant be the dizzy and gearbox plug mixed up as he has spark already stu ?

Welcome mate,  hope you get the problem sorted

I replied on the facebook page for you (not on there much)

assuming the engines cranking over and you have spark and fuel (ie plugs getting wet) then that means the spark is not being delivered at correct time so in that case I would be checking out the grub screw which holds the rotor arm in place as they have a habit of coming out which would mean rotor is not in sync with the cam and will be providing spark at incorrect firing order
so in short check the grub screw lol

if your getting fuel at the injector rail but the plugs are dry after cranking then it could well be the injector resistor pack is either unplugged or faulty as that is what allows injectors to open and close in sequence

btw welcome to the forum fella!

gti-r us thank you for that will try them and see what happens fingers crosst it should fire up

It may well be if you have been messing about around that area with the bov .

welcome to the site once you solve the problem tell us more about your car

Welcome to the site, would love to see some photos of the R. What spec you running?
