I put the new fuel filter on, replaced the spark plugs, degreased the thermostat housing sensor cluster and made a new gasket for it, couldn't think of anything else to try so I put the battery back in and cranked it over, .. it cranked but failed to start, and on each I could hear some funny hissing sound, so i go to investigate and note fuel around the injectors, found it was faulty line that went into fuel rail, no problem, so i thought I'll replace the fuel rail as the hose has some kind of special crimpling.

I undo near everything on the fuel rail and realised that i have to take the fuel filter line off too, so I'm doing it and BAM!!! next thing I know I can't see anything as the fuel filter contents are in my eyes and all over my face, so I make a run for inside basically blind, trying to find the tap to flush out my eyes I have grease and fuel all over my hands so when I do it's pointless as I'm making things worse, i make a dash for the shower and managed to flush my eyes out and get most of the fuel off me.

Eyes are still burning a little, I've packed up and going to go grab some lunch and have a good think from how to proceed from here.

[TOMsGPTurbo]

Bought some eye drops .... just in case it happens again :blinks:

Back to it, replacing the fuel rail and checking that everything is grounded and trying again.. and again... and again .... and again...

[TOMsGPTurbo]

Changed the fuel rail, checked all the injectors, pulled off the intake pipe into turbo and cleaned it out, car still refuses to start, :glare:

Has fuel pressure (:rolls:) and air and spark... when it's cranking just before it starts there is a little "arcing" sound, what ever that is, I reckon that's why the cars not starting.

I remember I had the same problem on the starter and Justin tightened it up the bolts and it started first go.

Justin showed me a little trick by spraying WD40 down the intake, I did that and it nearly started, but then same problem as above.

 

Any ideas? I'm stumped now.

[Medicine_Man]

must be a fuel supply problem if when you sprayed the wd40 into the intake it made it kick..

[TOMsGPTurbo]

Hmmm i bought one those clear fuel filters so i can actually see the fuel in there and believe me it has fuel preasure, do you think there could be blockage some where before the injectors??
