help. wont start after manifold change

p.s. i checked the fuel rail bicycle-valve and there's definitely fuel pressure.

phew...he started on wide open throttle...must have been fuel in the cylinders or something.

Very rough and smokey..and the engine is moving a lot in the engine bay...but....

IT'S ALIVE!!!

he's settled down and isn't misfiring. Gonna let it warm up and take it for a little spin.

now I'm paranoid that theres a leak somewhere...sounds a bit hissy..but could be a belt...I don't know...any checks I can do?

Sorry for posting again and a gain but I'm really excited as this is the biggest job I've ever done.

It will kick loads of crap out for a while.

But you'll benefit sunday from the remap for sure :L

Will do a free Diagnostics as well for you and the RR guy knows his stuff so be double and triple checked :L

cheers jack. I'm looking forward to sunday. Will be nice to have some peace of mind that it's all ok.

once when i did it, my car took ages to start. got me worried! glad it started in the end

everything is fine now. Throttle response is much better. Took a little getting used to as I kept spinning the wheels at the lights by accident.

I'm gonna drive it like a grandmother until sunday cos it'll be running lean, but then...

Glad you got it sorted

I hope I can have a diagnostics check too hehehe

Would do but you don't have an OBD2 port?

Mick on the rollers will pick up and faults though, Ford specialist :L
