Hi All,

Ive just completed a head gasket job and eventually got her to start and she is only running on 3.

Dont the usual, like tested all of the spark plugs and HT leads to make sure they are all sparking and they are.

No 2 is sparking but the cylinder is not firing. Fuel is also being pumped into the piston but it just isnt firing.

Any ideas?

I have not done a compression test on no 2 yet but think it might be something much simpler?

Just to confirm, the HT box leads go: 1,4,3,2 going downwards as this is the setting i currently have them on. Obviously on the engine top the leads go in the normal 1,2,3,4?

Please can someone help as its frustrating getting the head job done and now i am having this problem!

Its worth mentioning i have no ECU light on the dash which tells me electrics must all be okay?
