Which ECU and loom are you using? Did you change anything in that area?

[murcod]

Have you got a digital multimeter and a copy of the service manual ?...... time to start checking for permanent and ignition ön" 12V at the ECU.

Check to make sure you haven't missed any of the earths on the engine too.

thankx murcod yes i do have a service manual

found one dead wire got it started but ticks over at 3000 revs

i used the applause injectors and dizzy

[murcod]

Is that 3000RPM with the throttle closed (ie should be idling?)

Did you use the Applause or Sportrak inlet manifold/ throttle body?

[inbed79]

hi
fixed tick over it was sucking air

i used the sportak manifold with the applause throtle body

as the applauses inletmanfold has nowere for the small pipe to go to from the top of the rad of the sportrak

[murcod]

Does the Applause throttle body have the air bypass valve to control the idle speed? It's the thing that hangs off the bottom of the tb with the two coolant pipes running to it.

hi
yes it does

[murcod]

Don't suppose you know if the Applause one is a larger internal diameter at all? Possibly could give you more power if it is....
