My N15 5-door GTi Build...

MONDAY
Right, its been a day full of little jobs today I'm afraid..
Connected Throttle cable.
Connected all the fuel lines up.. Not much to show you there though lol.
Also connected the Power steering back up.
Pulled the loom through the bulkhead and connected the ECU and other connectors:

Something's not right. It wouldn't start :(
The video's just uploading now..
Its those bastard fuel lines and carbon canister I bet.
Engine check light was flashing too.
Joe
 
make sure you have the 2 fuel lines on the right way round dude, hose from top of fuel filter goes to fuel rail and regulator on the way back out
 
The video..

Sorry about the dodgy strip lights..
At least I'm sure I connected up the starter motor right hahaah :)
And Wezz I'll be double and triple checking the fuel lines tomorrow.

I dont know what to say dude, have you tried all the obvious...

Plug and lead out, earthed on block, checking for spark.
Fuel pump priming on ignition
Fuel getting into chamber, can you smell it etc?
All connections checked i,e crank + cam sensors all correct?
Dizzy ok?
 
The check engine light also flashes with a NATS problem, just to throw another spanner in the works!
 
That's what makes me think it's the immobiliser, mine did the same when I tried a different ecu.
 
hes got the ecu, key and barrel from stufa i believe. however, if the ecu has been unplugged, will it all need re-coding? also, unless he took the dizzy off which i dont think he has, the sparks should be ok because i read out the order, albeit in the dark lol cant see that carbon jobby affecting running either, like dale said.
 
did you get the other bit from stu that goes in the steering column?

the "NATS IMMU" on this pic?

TUESDAY
Phwoarrr what a day!
Started this morning by doing all the checks you lot suggested (Thanks added where necessary)
I checked all the earths, they were all good, but the Check light still flashed.
Next I looked for that NATS IMMU box under the dash.. Found it no problem, so I decided to try plugging the GTi one in, and the Engine check light stopped flashing :D
But it still wouldn't start :(
Next I whipped out one of the spark plugs to check for fuel/spark..
And it was soaked with oil! So I began cleaning the holes and plugs one by one..
Checked for spark and there was a strong one :)
So I put all the plugs back in and had another go...

As you can see/hear, It started fine! :):)
Since then I've disconnected the carbon canister completely, just got a few breathers to block off now.
And I've got my Sexy P11 GT valve cover amongst other engine bay bling to fit :)
More updates later!
