5efte not starting - help

[sik_gt_starly]

put this on starletcentral but no answer yet:

car - ep82 starlet
motor - 5efhe long block with 4efte running gear ecu injectors etc, with big turbo and a few other things. purchased from dodsons a year ago with 80,000km on clock

everything is together and plugged in/bolted up etc, motor is turning over sweet as, has oil and water

is making spark and firing order is correct

pretty sure its getting fuel as when turning over can smell unburnt petrol coming out of the downpipe (isnt connected up to exhaust yet)

can hear it making compression in all 4 cylanders however havnt done compression test

havnt touched motor since getting it from dodsons, only put new plugs in.

any help as to why its not going?

if you need more info sing out.

thanks alot

timing?

[sik_gt_starly]

pretty sure it has to be the timing, thats all thats really left that could be causing it to not start.

will try a few things tonight and see if any luck.

another option was maybe fuel is old

its not even spluttering or anything trying to start, just turning over

try engin start or something.. if still does notheing or backfiers werd it will be timing, get the motor to TDC and cheack everything over

[l1ttle_d3vil]

its not even spluttering or anything trying to start, just turning over

wrong timing could cause that, if you've got fuel / compression / spark. try engine start as said above just to eliminate fuel for sure, should atleast fire once or twice on engine start alone.

haven't got the timing 180º out have you?

[sik_gt_starly]

stuck some engine start in there, after a bit more just turning over burst into life. coolant n oil heating up idles sweet took for a wee drive, success its going!!!! soooo stoked

will post up pics etc once i finished mucking round with car

maybe your cold start isn't working properly then? see what its like next time its dead cold in the morning or something.
