Help needed desperately

[Q-Dog]

Hi all
I think the car is dead again, I replumbed in a 3 port breather system yesterday for proper breathing and thought while at it I would put the new manifold on and set up the parallel fuel rails, all seemed to go well and it went back together fine.

Problem I have is it now wont start, when I go to turn it over its like its sticking and misses teeth when engaging the starter motor, I swapped the starter motor for another but its still doing it, any ideas??
It will turn over by hand with a socket on the crank so I know its not seized or anything stupid like that.
Im gonna swap the manifolds back over today but cant think why it would do this, if I have done something terminal I cant go through it all again, ill have to out it

Sorted it, turned out to be an issue with the FPR and it dumped fuel into the heads and stopped it cranking over. cleared it out and put the standard manifold back on and is now fine.

Not sure how the FPR could of done that.
Thats normally a problem with poor seating of the side feed injectors into the fuel rail.
This leads to compression lock with the chamber full of fuel, and can bend a rod.

Although I know of at least 2 others on here that have got away without bending anything after poor fitting of injectors.

you'd be unlucky to do any damage from stopped to be fair...........

its definately an injector seal issue as above rather than an FPR probem

Did you remove the injectors before removing the manifold / rails? If so fuel would have drained into the bores

[Justin]

Also it would be a very good idea to change the oil and filter, however new the oil was.

Glad you got it sorted mate
