Thread: Chasing a demon, D1 v8 won't start

yeah im convinced its the wiring also. I'm going to pull it all out over the weekend and mount it on the firewall also as well as the coil if the king lead is long enough. Just renew it all its done 370xxx so it could do with it. im still gonna go with the bosch module i have full faith in it as it was all working previosly.

Your right its being watched I sorta feel like im letting everyone down waiting for the weekend hahaha but i wanna do it all properly and not just rush it.

I will definatly let you all know whats happening!

Well after much a lot of stuffing around and all my mobile data I finnaly got it going!

I'm still not 100% sure what the problem was but I can narrow it down to

The ignition module conectors from the original mod they had a lot of dodgy connectors. The were full of water possibly shorting it all.

The ignition module itself. I'm going to put it back to test it and if it still works I'll keep it for a rainy day.

I reckon I killed the old spark plugs trying to start it too much in the first place also.

Thank you everyone for your help and input couldn't have done it without you all.

Now the only problem is that it idles a little rough now fluctuates a bit.

It was really bad when I first put the dissy back in but almost stalling but I realized I didn't put the weights in right Doh! Maybe the stepper got covered in starter fluid?

It also smells super rich, I havnt got a timing gun but got it running good by ear but maybe that's why? Or the ecu has to learn the new module maybe?

Here's the connectors I didn't like also I swapped them for a solid joiner.

Cheers!
