Hi Everyone. Quick update this morning. My new blue and black sensors arrived this morning. I quickly swapped them over and boom, the car fired up. Can i thank Ger040 and Simeon for your help. I will soon be posting up some pic's of the car and the mods I have carried out. Thanks :dance:

Hi Ger040 Yes, the car started fine before my changes. I have ordered the blue and black sensors just incase they are faulty as the water system was left empty for weeks. I am going to go through everything again this weekend (just incase) and will report back then, Fingers Crossed! Thanks

Hi All. A quick update. I have checked all my earths, cleaned them and refitted them. I have checked the timing and the timing marks and dizzy line up with TDC on number one cylinder. I have checked for spark which is ok. I had left my spark plugs out of the engine over night to let the cylinders and plugs dry out. When i tried to start the car this morning the car coughed as if to start but then didnt. I removed my plugs to see them covered in fuel. I am certain that the car is over fuelling on start up but how? The fuel pump primes and then stops as normal. The only changes to the engine i have made is A- fit a new lambda sensor and repair the plug wiring. B- fit a front mounted inter cooler C- Move the earths earths off the battery post to the chassis mounted post behind the battery. Is the fuel controlled by the ECU? What checks can i do to ensure the ECU isnt dead due to the battery being off fo so long? Again Thank you for the help

Hi Simeon Thank you for the help, I will look at that today and come back to you. Thanks

Hi Ger040 thank you for your post. I have read that the bottom pulley bolt could snap so i am going to check my timing marks. the car is sparking but maybe at the wrong time so best to double check that. I will keep you informed. Thanks

Hi All Could somebody please help with the following. I have recently bought a G60 which was running and drove ok. It looks like it has a smaller pulley on it and been chipped. over the last few months the car has been sat idle whilst i carried out running repairs. Today, when i went to start the car, nothing. The car turns over but does not fire. i have removed the plugs to see them fouled up with fuel. I clean them, refit them and try again but the same happens. For what ever reason the car is over fuelling and not starting. is there any checks i can carry out please? I have read the air flow sensor needs to be set at 500ohms. Is this with the engine off or running on idle? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Looks great, Keep up the good work and it'll soon be back on the road :)
