another little update.

iv timed everything back up again as i bought nre bolts for the Vbelt pulley and had to fit them so decided to time up again. i was reading through the sh!te manual that is called haynes and it says on the tensioner to tension clockwise where i was going anticlockwise. (does this make a difference?) so i went clockwise.

iv been having to have the car jumped via a neighbours as the battery is flat as a pancake. and iv got her started, the car will not go above 200rpm and when you touch the throttle it cuts the car out. could this be because the battery does not have enough power in her?

also when running if i disconnect the jump leads the car cuts out also

i feel that im making slow progress but am i just going round in circles???

i want this over so i can lock this thread down lol 

cheers all

im thinking of renaming this thread as the thread of death!!!!

im thinking of restripping the engine, grinding all the valves, give the head another good clean up, same with the pistons again also. might even sand down the intake, get rid of all the rough bits in there.

i have come to this conclusion as i have tried everything, iv even used rubjonnys guide in the mk2 maintenance section. when it does start it does run alot better, but now it wont idle and occasionally will backfire back up to the throttle body.

god damn am confused 

[dansmk3]

sorry to bring this back up but she still aint running

As long as you have done that ....   And the dizzy is lined up (you can rotate to get it spot on if need be)   Its correct, the ECU will advance and retard the timing using the coil pack to correct anything within the range of the dizzy.

iv just realised that the v belt and ribbed pulleys can actuially get pryed off of thje crank sprocket, so iv done this to try and do what the above diagram shows gthanks to Rmachines. however my crank sprocket does not have a notch on it for the aux to line upto.

so in order for me to ign timing and then timing itself what wouls you do first?

as im timing up using the timing marks on the fly

so do you get everything aligned and get it to the 6o btdc for the ign then take the belt off and move the crank round to the tdc mark and then re-belt up??

cheers guys, hopefully i can kill this topic off tomorrow! likelyhood aint good tho lol

Just seen this somehow. 

Only up the road and can lend you spares. What mark are you lining the rotary pully on? There was two marks and this confused me when I did my first belt.

I can try and find some time to pop up, can't be a lot wrong with it.
