pulsar wont start

so i drove the car to where its parked about 3 hours ago, its since rained, now it dont want to go!

it eventually sort of started, but was running at about 500rpm, and it would only run with my foot on the accelerator slightly, if i let off it would stall, if i press down more it didnt make any difference, what the hell may be going on? now it just turns over and only attempts to start when i disconnect the injectors, coughs a few times then just turns over !

Fuel pump failed?

i can hear it running, and its got a gauge on the fuel regulator under bonnet and thats showing as normal

What pressure does it have .... .have you got a spark ....?

water down where plugs are running on 3 ?

My thoughts aswel

I had this problem once, plug hole was full of water!!

great minds thin alike stu
just with him saying rain if its blown in a certain way through vent, I use full length plug cover with a seal on it

How thick is the cover is it like 2mm sheet metal just out of intrest ?

Boost hose come off or not tight

the plug cover mate ? my one now is carbon fiber but run a seal/bead  of silicone round or similar let it dry first then when you bolt it on and off it stays on the plug cover but helps seal once bolted down

that reply was for you lieghton

Never really ever had problems with water in the plugs
Once or twice if I'd been away on holiday for a month or so then I did.but daily driving never seemed to be a problem

Could use like a draught excluder aswell then.... or lay cling film on rocker cover then your method .... i guess i think way to much about ways of doing stuff lol

either mate draft excluder heat gets to glue or gose brittle saying that it was just cheap crap I used mainly to stop rattle/vibration. I cling film works to stop silicone sticking.i just turned mine upside down bead let it dry onto plug cover job done

not stopped raining yet, so havent been able to look!

will update tomorrow

Seem to have lost spark

coil, ign amp module or crank angle sensor

as above. any alarms  well immobilisers kill spark ? or would it not turn over at all

scrub that he said it started and ran on 3 or something

another possibility is that the rotor arm grub screw has come undone and rotor has spun   

il try look again tomorrow, really not been good weather yet.

and yeah it did fire up, but it just wouldnt rev, was strange, but now its just got nothing there at all

Ok it's running now, but it's hard to start and it's running like this, still accelerator makes no difference, I can't find anything wrong, really haven't got a clue ?

That's not the engine knocking btw ! Lol, that's it back firing out the exhaust

The video is of it just turning over ? .....

No it's running there

Oh right sorry just re read the above post .... its been a long day lol ...
i think id be looking at checking the timing and followed by a comp test if its hard to start and back firing ....

If it was either of those things though, touched the accelerator it should still attempt to rev, this does nothing
