Title: Engine won't start. 16V MK2
Post by: alex2504 on 06 February 2005, 17:24

The cylinder head gasket had gone an my Golf, have replaced with new gasket and tidied up the head a bit. Its now all back together again but I cannot get the engine to start. Have tried following:

- There is plenty of spark
- All the Vacuum hoses seem to be back on the correct locations, but not a 100% sure
- When i remove an injector from the head there doesn't seem to be any fuel injecting through it, should there be?
- Positive pressure in the Inlet manifold when I remove Injector, is this normal?
- The fuel pump works no problem, when I push up the plate in the airbox while trying to start there is fuel going through the injectors.

When i try to start it there is absolutely no life in the engine

Can anyone help?????? Before I go mad!!!!!
