Mini Mpi Starting Problems
Best Answer se7enmvu , 21 May 2018 - 06:31 PM
Well it's started, fired up first turn of the key 😀 I'm so happy.
A mobile mechanic came out and tried his code reader in it but it wouldn't power up so he couldn't help.
But that prompted me to look at why the socket had no power. I'd left the srs box unplugged as I was worried about triggering the air bags but it turns out that I needn't have.
I plugged the srs box in and it fired straight up. The srs light is staying on so I'm assuming that the srs box will need resetting.
So I can book in for the wheel alignment and mot now and put some miles on it.
It was idling a little high but that should be easy to solve and I noticed the oring is missing from the throttle body does anyone know what size to get?

The only work on the motor has been a degrease, paint and service.
The pump primes, I have a spark and the imobilzer is switching off.
I disconnected the green fuel line and some air and fuel came out at pressure so as fuel is getting that far I'm thinking it must be the injectors?
Or is there anything else I'm missing?

Remove injectors. Get a 10ML syringe. Fill with fuel. Push syringe into the injectors inlet and squeeze hard. Get a 2nd person to pulse the injectors with some wire hooked up to a car battery.
Should clear them out.

So I removed 1 injector from the rail and pressure was released. I swapped them both with some spares I had on a spare engine and still nothing.
Only this time when I remove the injectors from the rail there is no pressure release even though the pump is still priming.
I have the fuse removed from the srs system as my srs module need resetting. Could that be causing my problem?
Seems pointless ordering injectors until I'm consistently getting fuel at the rail.

If so, the only thing between them and the injectors is the fuel pressure regulator.

Thinking about it, the regulator would be after the injectors. Sorry, had a brain fart.
You haven't put the pipes on the wrong way round have you? Red is feed, on the right. Green is return, on the left.

The tank was dry prior to fitted so I've put in another gallon and I have fuel at the rail again.
I also think I've tested the injectors. With the ignition on I'm getting 12.5v when testing each with a multimeter.
So I'm thinking the injectors are blocked I'll get a syringe tomorrow and see about flushing them. Or is it worth biting the bullet and just ordering new?

Plus, I'm tight as a a duck's bum, so I baulk at the idea of spending ~£100 unnecessarily.

I'm measuring 12.5v at the loom connectors so I'm guessing that the ecu mustn't be sending the signal.
Anyone any ideas why that may be?

Without diagnostics I would be checking the fuel cutoff switch ( on the bulkhead) and or the crank sensorI've just checked the injectors using the method wiggy described and both are spraying fuel.
