Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

Let's go over a few points because you're getting further and further from the problem, and this really isn't a tricky issue to sort out. Have you checked B+ and IGN+ at ECU? Have you checked earths at ECU? Have you shorted 22pin5 to earth and lit up CEL? OK. I've shorted the w pin to an earth (not...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

Been trying to find the ecu earth and after a search it said under inlet manifold I think I've found it with a few wires underneath the inlet manifold near the cam belt side. They look solid enough though covered in oil. Its hard to access but will attempt to loosen and clean them. I've put my meter...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

I've sent mine off to be repaired And I've also bought a spare working one as can see these rev 2 ones getting rare in good nick.

I'd advise having the caps changed before they go bad as the goo in the caps leak on to the tracks and corrode them causing problems.

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] Head gasket change - Engine out job?

I'd always recommend dropping the engine. It's not hard. Our best time is 25minutes! Keep meaning to record it and get it on youtube. Anywho, with the engine out, everything is simpler. Yes you have the trouble of getting it out, but once it's out, you can do so much more, easier. I'll always recom...

I've taken the ecu apart and from what I can see, I have 2 blown capacitors. http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/notroubleclubber/20131012_171815.jpg http://i490.photobucket.com/albums/rr266/notroubleclubber/20131012_171759.jpg Now they look pretty easy to access and I'm confident at soldering ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

Update 2

Took king lead out of dizzy cap and led it on a metal housing in the bay (its earthed as checked with meter).
No spark.

How do I check the next component which is the coil?

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

First question on any non-starter before getting any tools out... Have you got a CEL? No cel. I've tried bridging the diag for a fault code before (when I was fault finding before - and yes, I had no fuel doh!) But my diag plug looks corroded and the engine just made a grating sound when trying to ...

Re: [Mk2] [Turbo] HELP!! Car wont run!

I'm guessing a pull a spark plug with lead on it - leave it next to part of the engine like the cam cover and see it sparks on it?
Do I check each plug? And how do I check the king lead? Same way with a screwdriver?

Please bare with me as I'm not clued up with mechanical fault finding!
