Evening all
I am new to the forum after getting involved (foolishly) with my sons engine swap in his Glanza V from an EP91 that had gone pop to an EP82 forged etc. he saw the engine running so it was ok..
He hasnt let me anywhere near it yet so i am trying to diagnosis by phone and using the internet and experience of engines i gained probably 30 odd years ago!!!!
The problem - It wont start - initially i had found out he hadnt changed the thermostat housing which i got him to do, all other sensors are from the EP91 and the wiring loom is all EP91, it did have a very weak white spark and then packed up a couple of days ago so after getting him to do some checks i came to the conclusion that it had to be the coil or the ignitor, these have been changed today and there is a nice healthy blue spark however it still wont start!
I have asked him if the ignition timing is set up properly and he has said he doesnt think he has knocked it during install but i think this may be a possible explanation.
could any of you please give me the benefit of your vast experience and knowledge?
