mickyfin32 Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) ever since i rushed into chucking my old mfi engine out and putting an efi into my mk4 i have had nothing but trouble replaced lots of fuses and parts ie crank sensor, throttle body and then i breath life into the engine, it runs fine well so i thought... then the other week i started her up just to prevent her from ceasing up and my mate noticed the rev counter going past 7 and being stuck as she i rev her (gently)and that there were flames coming from the exhaust, it's first time that this has happens any idea's to why this is happening??? also she take's usually 5 attempts to start ??? the only electric fault with car is the clocks, interior light, rear heated screen. besides that everything on the car works. i bought her as a project 1 year 8 months ago she looks ruffer and is no closer to completion and i've spent £700 including purchase and seem to be getting nowhere all help is appriciated as im not one to give up but its squeezing me financially quite hard thanks guys/gals......

badger Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 from what you've said i'd start by checking the timing?????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Cabbytech Posted November 27, 2009 Share Posted November 27, 2009 I agree with Badger, the timing could be out, the belt might have jumped a notch, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickyfin32 Posted November 27, 2009 Author Share Posted November 27, 2009 (edited) I agree with Badger, the timing could be out, the belt might have jumped a notch, thanks guys will check as soon as whether calms down might be right as its a new belt before engine went in i thought a head and put her on so my guess is she's jumped a notch any tips to get her back without taking engine out??
