Well I've done bu99er all on the build for the last few weeks
Actually got out in the garage briefly tonight and had a mini break through though.
Haven't been able to start the car for a while now... it'd turn a couple of times, then bog down and stop.
Thought my new battery must have been knackered before I'd even finished the build, and wasn't pleased! Charged it over and over again and it made no difference.
Anyway, had a bit of a play tonight and started pulling connectors out.
Found out it'd crank without bogging down if I had the injectors or ignition coil unplugged, which had me puzzled.
Then had a bit of a brainwave and swapped the spark plug leads over, and it burst into life
After a bit more digging it turns out that when I shortened the loom I'd swapped two wires over that went to the ignitor module, and it had been firing all my cylinders out of phase!
Fixed the wiring error, swapped the plug leads over and it's running again.
The enthusiasms flooding back now

Hopefully get back on the build properly once xmas is out of the way... Hope you all have a merry one by the way!
