No life in the old girl after I've refitted the head

John,
    Dizzy timing is spot on.  Pump primes and fuel is being pumped into the cylinders.  However I think that it's pumping it through too quick as the fuel is just coming out of the exhaust.

[rubjonny]

sure the timing isnt 180 degrees out?  If the pump is priming then the ecu is working, do you have a spark?

Yes, cam lined up correctly, spark is being produced and when timing is set to fire on cylinder 1 the dizzy is in the right place.  I'll check again though.

has the blue sender been replaced?

[Mr Blue]

i had the same problem with mine. this happend twice!


was the ignition moduel that sits ontop of the ecu.

Yes, blue sender is brand new.

Can you please be a bit more specific?  Dis you get a spark and was it turning your engine over?  Mine sparks and turns over but the fuel just isn't igniting.  It worked fine before the head removal.

The only thing that has changed is that I've removed the head, refitted the new head gasket and changed the injectors.   I'm planning to attach my old injectors (one was split) to just rule out the new ones having a higher flow rate.  Fingers crossed.

HT leads on the plugs in the right order?

Yup, labelled them before taking them off  .
Firing order is correct and I get a spark but fuel is not igniting.  Stale fuel removed and fresh stuff put in just in case but nothing.

[rubjonny]

its gotta be a weak spark, or low compression if you've got fuel and the pump isn't just running continuously...

[Ben Lessani]

whats the compression. after i refitted the head on my mums 206, it took about 1 hour of solid cranking for the pressure to build back up from 8 Bar to 14 Bar. make sure the injectors are firing properly - take them out and point them into a bucket and watch them fire.

double check the timing is 100%, its easy to be a tooth out when tensioning, although it should start, other culmulitive factors may have a funny effect.
