1.6 TD no-run, I need a few minds on this one..

[8v-of-fury]

Stock TD, pump lid had a bum throttle bushing when i went to buy it. Swapped lids in the guys driveway and drove it home. That was in August, finally got around to fixing it lol. It is a full TD pump now again.

Its a one hole pulley, and no even if it were a 2 hole I know the pump shaft key-way needs to point roughly at 11 o'clock when looking at the snout

... when the cam lobes are both pointing UP for the number one cylinder or the cam lock is in.  I'm just looking for confirmation that you referenced the cam with the pump.

This is a hurtful comment, LMAO! Could I really be so stupid? I ALWAYS set the engine to TDC before I remove the pump.

Yes the cam and pump locks were used. It all remained in time after several revolutions.

The LMFAO, was cheek in tongue sarcasm haha. I have checked and thought over everything.

As you say if I am getting fuel to all four injectors there is nothing much else it could be.

Next step for me would be a tow start.

Extremely hard for me to do for two reasons, my neighbours are stuck up old rich ***'s, and the roads are all hard packed snow I dunno if it will work or just slide when you try to drop the clutch.. or if the two vehicle will get traction eh?

[rallydiesel]

Yeah that makes it harder. A nice aggressive tow-start is my BFH.

[libbydiesel]

I've never had to tow-start one of these.  I've always just fixed the problem that is preventing it from starting.  Try turning the max fuel screw in one full turn but be ready to shut it down quick if it races.

[8v-of-fury]

I thought about doing that, but then i thought.. This pump lid ran the engine before as well and marked throttle linkage and always count turns out for max fuel screw. Plus its still got the collar on it. So its at stock right now if it were close flooring it should do it no??

Hence the Rookie/Newbie share thread.  I tend to get that way if I am pushing it all day long and don't break for lunch or coffee.  Brain just reverts to I Don't Know mode, or limp mode and I end up doing duh?  stuff I laugh at the next day.

Yeah but he doesn't know what the problem is. At least if he gets it started then he can get a better idea of what the issue is by how it runs.

Im going to guess low compression

[burn_your_money]

If I understand correctly, this was a TD pump with a NA cover on it, you resealed it and installed the original TD top cover that now has a new throttle shaft bushing?

Assuming that is correct, did you ever hear the car run with the original TD top?

I'd be winding the fuel screw in and taking it from there, or pull starting it. It'll be tricky in the snow but assuming you are on winters and not all seasons you should be fine.

Try running 12v from the battery to the stop solenoid. Sometimes these crazy cars forget to send power to the stop solenoid when you are cranking.
