engine wont fire

You say you have fuel, you can hear the pump running and cycling with the ignition on, do you have injection pulse? are the injectors firing? what is the colour code on the wire? the thumb nail pic will not enlarge for me for some reason.

Not sure what injection pulse is,how do I check if injectors firing do I pull one out and wind over..(am a backyarder dont have access to fancy equipment)No color code on wire looks like the bloke i got it off has put it in,if your facing the motor the wire goes all the way round to the right side somewhere near inlet manifold.Thats all I remember when I pulled the motor out..Can I use the same ecu..

you should be able to feel the injector click in you hand, crank it over and feel it, it should click open and closed, crank it for a good few seconds so you get a few pulses to check.

Cant feel any clicking..from injectors

Do you have a test light? if so check for power at injector, unplug one injector place a paper clip or small split pin in each terminal, connect test light across terminals and crank over, do you have a light, does it blink?

test light is flashing..got power

If you have this across the injector terminals, the pulse is ok, you do have spark? has the distributor been turned at all? pull the plugs and make sure that they are not just all fuel fouled this will stop it from running, check the map sensor on the fire wall, passenger side with a black vacuum hose going to the manifold, recheck all connections and vac lines, do you have spark at the coil lead and at the plug leads?

Distributer has been played with (by friend)is set to top dead centre and set to number 1 on the dizzy,is this where it should be set dizzy also had markings sayin start finish..black vacumm hose was off map sensor, on now waiting for battery to charge and try again..

Have spark to all spark plugs,pulled no 1 spark plug out looked into cylinder while mate turned over have fuel squirting into cylinder..injectors seem ok..thinking possibly timing issue what do you think

have spark and fuel into all cylinders..all hoses plugs etc in tact

clean the plugs as they will be fuel fouled, and re set the timing, do you have a manual to do this as it will have to earth out the timomg check conector.
