engine still wont start
new plugs' dizzy cap , leads rotor arm
exellent spark at all plugs
fuel pump fine new relay sprayed carb cleaner down inlet
took off head gasket fine pistons fine head fine
how do i check if injectors are injecting fuel
what else can it be or am imissing somthing?

Easiest check to see if injectors are working is to smell the exhaust pipe after cranking.
Engines are fairly simple things. Appropriate amount of fuel injected, compression, and a spark at about the right time, and it will run! If it doesn't, one or more of these is missing.

what should it smell like fuel or normal exhaust fumes

Should smell of fuel if it's being injected and not burnt.

What engine is this?

m40 1.8i

After cranking it over have you removed a plug to check if it is wet with fuel?

yes its wet but that after a lot of cranking

i remember a buddy who had the same problem. checked everything, changed everything but no luck. what we did was we exchanged the fuel pump relay with the head light relay (they're about the same) then alas! it started! your problem might be a shot relay. worth checking them out

immobiliser playing up??

If you check your profile, there's a Time Zone section, where you can put your real time in (hours + or - GMT...)

It probably isn't this, but could it be that the spark leads are connected to the wrong sparks? As in the wrong spark fires (in the wrong cylinder)? Just thinking of possible reasons, sometimes the solution is so simple it can miss people's attention...

Think this one's been solved in another thread!
Apparently the two parts of the front pulley have come apart!

yes i have solved the problem thanks for all your sugestions chears sean
