Heard you need a warm engine to do a test, my engine wont start  :laugh: It was fine before so doubt it'd of broke over time? It could be something as simple as spark is timed wrong. It wasn't even shorting in the first I don't think ! This weekend I'll be flying I rekon.  :smug:

I never knew you needed a warm engine for a compression test.. thats stupid because lots of people check compression on engines not firing but are turning over.. what do they do get a electric blanket for the engine ??  :grin: :grin:

 :laugh: Car started!!!! Only if I keep revs up, cuts out after lol Least I'm a step further! Thinking it's a vacuum leak, should the WUR (5th injector hole) get blocked up, and would be causing my lack of vacuum. Also this may sound stupid, but if my brake fluid is right down, would that cause a leak? Only because of the servo vacuum etc I dont think it does but thought I'd ask. Also my exhaust is othingyh on the downpipe (lack of back pressure)? And smoke comes from the floor instead of the exhaust.
