It nearly runs - errrr - So close

Gents

As promised and tattooed onto my brain by AshG and HandyAndy, I filmed the first start up today. Its was very cold, but luckily in the workshop it was about 8 degrees.

The day started with some running around desperately trying to use PTFE tape to seal all the fuel leaks.

Secondly the coil pulse was not activating the fuel pump relay, or the purple relay was not tripping, so I managed to bypass it with a wire to get some pressure into the system. I am not sure if the fuel return should be continuous? but nothing seems to be coming back to the tank?

Anyway, managed to get the v6 beast turning, but could not get it to run. Any ideas where to go now? -

I was thinking about the heater in the old car, i simply bypassed it with a pipe top to bottom, should this or can it be capped off?

Will check the fuel system next week by disconnecting from the fuel distributor and seeing how much fuel is pumped.

I have uploaded the link onto year two below!
