Not starting after injector change

Postby Nugget23 » Tue Mar 19, 2019 7:43 pm

Hi everybody,

I have changed all four injectors for my mk4 80hp. But when I tried to start the starter is turning but the engine is not running.
I have tried it several times but nothing is happend, only the starter is turning arround. Now the battery is empty :(- .
Someone now where the problem could be?
The Injectors where of the same type like the ones before, original stanadyne injectors.
I'm a bit lost now. I have also opened the fuel lines to get the air out but it's not starting.
I'm gratefull for any help to ge my transit running again.

Cheers
Peter

Are they new injectors, or second hand?

anyway you will have to crack open the injector unions and crank the starter until fuel squirts steadily from each union as the engine turns, then tighten and crank again and she should start, if this fails refit the old injectors and see if it starts then.

open the front injector union
start engine

you need one open to allow the air to piss off up the pipe.
