I HATE MY CAR ARRRR
Turbo Mini Forums

Still having problems!!!!!!

Car wont start! Had it run round the block once! now nothing!! Depressing had the AA out to it he says, its serious and inside the engine and i've just had the engine built by MED £3000 says i aint happy :( upset in fact cos got no car. The problem is when its turning over fan hardly moves and the bottom pully turns and seems to jump back any ideas. timing??

It sounds like something is either caught in the mechanism or something is binding inside the engine. Get who ever built your engine to pull it apart and tighten up what ever has come lose!

not meaning to be a dick, but do you have a flat battery?

Take plugs out see if it will spin over then.

your flywheel hasnt came lose has it and its spinning on the crank, just a thought.

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

i'll have a look at the flywheel the rotor arm in the dizzy spins, and the engine turns over. Start motor looks alright. Really pissed off now. Anything timing wise i should be looking at? What would corse the bottom pully not to turn?

is the pulleys woodruff key in place?

is it firing at all? or is the engine just turning with no bark at all?

if its barking then bouncing back, maybe your sparking miles ahead of tdc and the it cant compress the combustion....?

It should still run if the pulley key had gone. Although it would soon overheat.

My money is on the flywheel/ring gear.

nothing odd faint coff loads of compession in the spark plug holes but doesnt do anything dead. Scares me the pulley jumping back and fan hardly turn sounds bad dont it. Found answer thinking about buying a R5 to take my mind of this £3000 piece of junk.

I scared about timing gear and chain dont really understand all that hense why i had them doing it all could a chain snaped or something loose

I would take the starter off again put the engine in gear and see if you can spin the flywheel by hand (use a flat peice of bar in tooth)....if it turns and the car doesn't move you have your problem!! I wouldn't be to brutal with it if its loose enough for the enigne not to turn over then it should be reasonably easy to move!

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

done it three a four times copyed it off my standard car top dead centre and everything

make sure you have connected the earth stap to the engine

the do as tom says and follow the rest of the advice off the lads please

thank you matty pint with your name on it. Wasnt tight only hand tight. Locking washer doesnt look like the tabes on it and the washer that goes behind the centre bolt has smashed into pieces. is this cos it hasnt been tight enough?

If the key is missing from the pulley end and the pulley is not turning properly there is a good chance that the cam is also not turning and they share the same woodruff key.

Therefore the valves not opening and closing, no fuel and air, no go!!!!!

Even if the cam is going round it may have slipped so it not timed up properly

wear abouts is this key that people talking about??? any help
