1.6 8v mk4 polo starting problem!!! Fixed

Post by cheddarcheese »

I cant start my mk4!

1. Fuel pump is working and pumps fuel!
2. There is spark!
3. Engine turns over But does not fire!!

Replaced Dizzy,coil,plugs


Iv noticed there is NO spark at the spark plugs and there is NO fuel firing out of the injectors when trying to start the engine!

what components would have control of the injectors and spark on fire up that may be faulty and how do i test them?

Where are all the earth points on a mk4?

cheers

andy

^^ No idea so sorry I can't help.

You'll find an earth wire between the N/S/F wing and the battery. No idea where the others are lol.

Ignition coil! (if you did not have a spark at the sparkplugs) and look at the ignition cables to!, check resistance value.
