#1: power drain on start... Author: nakednakeddave, Location: aberdeenPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:38 am ---- so iv jus spent a few months rebuilding my engine and put it all back together and it wont start
its tries to turn over but is just draining all the power,
jumped it off another car and was draining power from that aswell....
checked wiring and seems fine, gave the earths a bit of a clean and its still the same.
any ideas what it could be?

#3: Re: power drain on start... Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 11:52 am ---- does it turn over, or try but wont actually crank, if it wont crank its probs timing way way out
#4: Re: power drain on start... Author: nakednakeddave, Location: aberdeenPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 1:02 pm ---- ECU's the same and the timing spot on....
it cranks but wont go fast enough to actually run
like i said, its like the starter is taking heeeeaps of power but not being able to do anyhing with it....

Author: Timon2210, Location: PalestinePosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:14 pm ---- have you checked the Timing belt sequence??it's very important for the engine to start,sometimes if it's fitted in the wrong way,it makes the throttle body push air instead of sucking it inside the engine.
#9: Re: power drain on start... Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Thu Mar 17, 2011 2:16 pm ---- bad starter motor me recons, or seized water pump, something like that preventing it from cranking

nope.
bump start can be use even when the battery and start motor is died.
unless yours is automatic....

I was gonna say that. You just need a working alternator.
#12: Re: power drain on start... Author: nakednakeddave, Location: aberdeenPosted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 11:47 am ---- waterpumps fine, timing belt and sequence is spot on....
everythings fine but starting....
iv checked and checked and checked, but might try rolling start if i can find someone to drag me up the top of my driveway...
#13: Re: power drain on start... Author: MrrNoName, Location: UKPosted: Fri Mar 18, 2011 5:28 pm ---- is it cranking over freely or not?

No way will alternator give enough juice with a few turns from the bump start to get the show running.
