FD wont start...
Hey Guys,
I recently just got my FD running from being off the road for a year with an engine rebuild etc. All was going well until last week. Whilst driving everything turned off. Pretty quick to assume it was my alternator giving in. I took it home and done some further testing. Started the car while the engine was cold, it ran for 10 seconds then died (found it was the alternator).
So I got a new alternator and installed it. Went to turn the car on but it just cranks and doesn't start. First thought that come to mind was it was flooded. So I pulled the plugs and found the leading plugs to be a little wet but they are brand new. So I started the deflooding procedure. Pulled the fuel pump relay and EGI relay, foot to the floor and crank for 15-20 seconds. I did this a few times, then put everything back on but still nothing. I did this through out the day. I checked all the relays and fuses and everything seems to be fine. It's getting spark, it's getting fuel...
Any ideas guys?
Thanks,
