Dubs Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Firing order should be 1342, 1 being the cambelt side, working round anticlockwise as you look at the dizzy from the passenger side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Fuel pump is the problem.. or at least, A major problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scortpower Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 as stu said the fuel pump is the problem, when they tried to run mine with the 1.4 fuel pump it would not even start, the 1.4 fuel pump does not have enough pressure get a uprated cossie pump in it then i bet it runs fine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
