this little bastard is taking the piss out of me! it will not f*cking start! been a waste of a day. got no fuckin further with it! gave it more petrol, checked the timing, double checked everything and it still will not fuckin start up!!
I have got a few electrical problems, it blew the fuse for the interior lamp, took 6 fuses to find out what the f*cking trouble was, which I think may have been either the gauge setup or the fag lighter. gauges were plugged into the ISO connector, fag lighter is linked to the same system too.
Also I think the fan system may have a electrical fault now, as that popped a fuse when my dad bridged it to see if the system was fine.
A head gasket change, has turned into a full blown nightmare!
I have even resorted to buying a second ECU setup just to see if that's had a spike, and again it still wouldn't play.
Now I am going back to the basics, and had a look at the battery system, in case I have disturbed something there.
One of the lads recons the crank sensor might have been damaged, due to the locking tool failing.
I will see how tomorrow goes and if the changes I made with the battery system, Then i will look at the crank sensor.
if that doesn't work, then i am going to have reconsider my options.
I will not push anymore money into this if its not going to play ball, I can put my money and time into a better car. It would be sad to leave the metros on a bad term, I have fond memories of these cars.
