8v mk2 gti wont start
« on: 25 June 2003, 18:02 »
 :'( can any one help me, i recently swapped the engines over in my car adding a 1.8 mk2 8v gti (digifant) engine to my car. I swapped the whole thing including all the wiring looms and the fuse box. Now that its in my car it wont start. The engine seems to flood all the time. If i disconnect the wire to the main fuel pump the engine eill eventually start and then run for a while, but if i connect the pump again, it stalls and floods. Its been suggested that its the ecu. But i've put a replacement on it and it still does the same thing. When the engine was out i changed the clutch and the timing belt. Can anyone help me with this problem as i really want to get the thing running again.
