Sure u slid it in properly bud. It's easy to have it run out as it turns slightly when installing because of the angled gear.

Yeah marked my old one before and after I pulled it out, and marked the new one in the same spots and after she went in she lined up perfect.

Checked the timing belt, she looks pretty damn good, must have been replaced, no cracks or missing teeth.

I do have a constant high pitched beeeeeeep from in my bay when my key's on and the pump's finished priming

Just a quick thought. Have a try of the grub screw in the back if the plenum. I had a fiddle with that when I was having problems and fixed the rough idleing issue.

Check the electrical plug that connects to the dizzy. The rubber boot deteriorates and water gets in and corrodes the terminals. Was a common problem

so it must be injector based (as I'm getting fuel pressure to my fuel rail in the bay, pulled the hose off, let the pump prime and she squirted fuel so it isn't that)


How much fuel came out when it cranked?
Was the pressure high and was there plenty of volume?

Try squirting some aerostart in the manifold and see if it will start. If it's got spark it should at least fire for a short time

If the plugs were black when you took them out, then it is getting too much fuel. Fuel pressure regulator might have died.

She filled half a bottle of powerade in few seconds so it was coming out alright, and pump cuts out after few seconds so she has pressure. I'll grab some start ya bastard tomorrow and spray that in the intake and see. I've tried fuel in the intake, and also fuel in cylinder 1 through removed spark plug, put it all back together but not even a short run, just kept cranking.

Yeah she runs rich, always has since I turbo'd it, only have the na ecu and injectors fitted, and afm after the turbo so it's probably trying to squirt more than it can burn
