yea the tdc lead is good it came from my old shell so i know it works and is plugged in right, thanx for the reply ill check the 12v in a bit
going up there in a bit anything else i should be checking for please?????
looks like ill be using this as a Table for a while longer then
luke..tell me that greddy writing is a photoshop!?!?!?
Out of curiosity, why did you reshell?
RE: starting problem.. have you checked the relay next to the AEI?
Am I waaayyy behind by saying that looks like/is Jesus old shell
correct
If theres no ign lights id be checking all the main power feeds to batt/alt etc are connected up properly. Check the earths too.
well i reshelled because the car couldve done with a once over respray, it was out of mot and needed a slight bit of welding doing, admititly it cost about the same to reshell, was more work but the end resault is much better this shell is immaculate
i have checked/changed that relay buddy.
garry to answere ur question yes i did ps the fmic
wires wires everywhere ive spent hours checking them they all seem ok,
im starting to think maybee its something to do with the alarm/immobliser? but it doesnt do anything at all, until i press the immobliser button and then it does turn over, so seems to be working!
When it turns over can you hear the fuel pump go?
Makes you wonder why it was broken in the first place?well i reshelled because the car couldve done with a once over respray, it was out of mot and needed a slight bit of welding doing, admititly it cost about the same to reshell, was more work but the end resault is much better this shell is immaculate
because thats what nayls doesMakes you wonder why it was broken in the first place?
because thats what nayls does
LOL im not bob from cgb! nothing against bob at all,but he breaks them!
I have broken two! fooked if im taking a financial loss just to keep you lot happy
no m8 the fuel pump doesnt seem to be working, today i changeed the aei, i bought and fitted a new tdc lead, ive checked the earths are in place still nothing, jermaine and winstone kindly poped up to see if they could solve this problem, but were at a bit of a loss!!! its gotta be something silly any other ideas?.
i hope im not being slated for changing the shell, and the comment was about nayles breaking it?
as i think ive made a good decion, once its running ill finnaly have a mint 5, which is what my plan was to start with.
working it out it wouldve actually cost more to do the respray the welding the mot etc on the old shell, i couldnt let the famous 5 die
Is the multiplug behind the ash tray plugged in, supplies power to the car and AEI. Its mounted on the heater box, remove ash tray to access it.no m8 the fuel pump doesnt seem to be working, today i changeed the aei, i bought and fitted a new tdc lead, ive checked the earths are in place still nothing, jermaine and winstone kindly poped up to see if they could solve this problem, but were at a bit of a loss!!! its gotta be something silly any other ideas?.

ahh thats something i havnt checked, what does it look like buddy?
Just a block connector. looks like the engine loom connector near the expansion bottle.
Come to think about it. there's 2 connectors behind there if i recall!!Just a block connector. looks like the engine loom connector near the expansion bottle.
there all connected buddy, damm annoying any other suggestions please
I would run a live straight from the battery to see if the pump span! If it does then you will have to decide to either have a switched (manual) live OR trace the problem to find out where the break is! If it doesnt then a faulty pump could be at fault!
have you got power to the aei unit. yellow and black wire check when ignition is live the plug goes to the bottom of the aei unit
thanx for all the help on this one guys, it does have power going to the aei, so now i just give up
im going to take it to an auto electritions, and will probbaly end up with a big bill.
ive had some work done by sparks in bristol, but they kinda fecked up the instalation of my lc-1, and was a nightmare to get them to put it right. so i wont be using them again!
so please can anyone recommend a electrtion in bristol that wont rip me off?
many thanx
power at ignition wires like i asked the other day?
aei relay ok?
tdc lead defo good?
find the alarm & trace the wires,i reckon you have one that you have'nt connected,simple mistake when changing an engine.
if it has power to the aei i should have spark it wont be alarm related i wouldnt have though as that would generally cut the power to the aei.
DOES THE KING LEAD SPARK
yea m8, has power at ignation
aei relay ive tryed a few diffrent once no joy
fitted a brand spanking new tdc lead
sucks sucks sucks
no spark from the king lead either, richie
plug one of your other leads on see if that carries a spark if you have power at aei unit it should be creating a spark try does the voltage drop off the aei unit when crankingno spark from the king lead either, richie
thanx richie, i will give that a try in the morning
thanx richie, i will give that a try in the morning
cant you do it now im full of ideas
i cant richie its in the lockup at work, and i cant get in there untill tommorow but thanx buddy
anychance i could get ur number m8, ill give ya a ring when im up there if its ok

pm poppet
Also check you have a good earth for the AEI, easily missed.
ok im just about to give up on this completly
have you checked you got a live at the starter motor when you turn the key? would not worry about the ign light at first but that could mean your immobilizer is cutting in
This not sorted yet? These engines only need about 4 wires to run.
Does the starter crank? Is there a spark whilst cranking?
thanx for all the helpo here, i just dont know enough about electrics, and im trying to do as said but, i must be doing something wrong as i still havnt find the fault, and now my situation has changed with getting a mortgage resently i just cant afford to pay an electricion, so it looks like im going to have to put the 5 up for sale, something i really dont want to do
after fully recharging the battery, it is still only turning over sometimes id say probbaly 7 out of 10 times it does turn over the rest of the time it just sort of clunks. where is the starter motor?, and how do i check its got sufficiant power?
any other ideas please?
thanx
Sounds very similar problem to what I had. Turned out that the exciter wire to the starter motor had melted abit and so the starter wasn't getting full power. Starter is located at the back of the block under the exhaust manifold.
