Had to neglect the build for a few days while I prepped my daily for an upcoming mot tomorrow.... should not have any probs cos where I go are brilliant (Front St garage in Shotton Colliery).
Felt really nervous tonight as it is the first time I have had the loom back on the chassis and I have painstakingly retraced all the work I did in the splicing of the nissan engine loom and the sierra .....so far so good, but a little more work needed on the instrument side of stuff, all I want to do now is see if it runs, so everything together and a couple of nice fat earths going to body and engine I fastened up the earth to a battery and checked with a multimeter if any voltage was to be had in the loom and a small whoo..ooo follows as I find nothing so it was on with the positive terminal and a careful last few checks and turn the key to ignition and look for the magic smoke......nothing....diddly squat  now the great thing about crank angle sensors that are fitted to camshafts if you can take them off and just twiddle the shaft to get sparks firing and to my absolute joy there they were ....dirty great big fat blue arcs of leccy followed by the smell of ozone .....even able to count the firing order of 1342 well a woz ower the moon like. So it was obvious now what to check in the same way, that was the injectors clicking and after a few minutes I had set that up for the same and away they went clickety click 134213421342...... well this means I can now look to get the fuel pump set up tomoz and get that milestone that is the first engine start.....no pics today but here are some nice blue sparks on photobucket.....click picture for video clip

Well I have 2 attempts at a fire up and both were no go.....I discovered that there was some kind of inhibitor kicking in on cranking via the key so after another few sessions of playing Sherlock Holmes I decided to wire up the pump direct to the battery as well as the solenoid via a small switch and when cranked this way it gave the sparks and injector clicks, so for the 3rd time (I did video the the first two but binned them when there was no action engine wise.
This time it fired up instantly....yeeeeee haaaaaa get in ya f****er and to my joy continued to run albeit a little on the lumpy side an added bonus is the exhaust system is a lot quieter than I had expected so no worries there for IVA so I am chuffed to share with you all my 3rd attempt at a start with total success ....click the photo to watch
