Re: 325 non start no spark
Well, it's on a "new" ECU from a manual car, so I'm guessing the ECU will need to learn the car a bit, also, no coolant system on the car so can't run it for more than a few minutes.

Re: 325 non start no spark
My bad! had the three plugs wrong for ICV, CPS and the one that goes to #6 HT.
she fires and runs but runs like a cammed V8, except she wont rev up. just hesitates and cuts out.
at least i know it runs! time to get on with the rest of the project! cheers guys!
videos when it's done!

Re: 325 non start no spark
spun the engine over with oil filler cap off and looks to me that cam is spinning ok, no voltage to the coil itself. been out ordering parts this morning will get on it now! but if someone is nearby NW london, it'd be hugely appreciated!

Re: 325 non start no spark
