Hi there,
Apologies for zero posts - I became a proud owner only a couple of weeks ago.
Generally I am pleased as punch with the car. Done a couple of bits around her & found her incredibly well engineered & really built for reliability. Good stuff. I had an Alfa before
But at the weekend I did a good service - rotor arms, dissy caps, leads & spangly iridium plugs! All went smoothly (apart from getting the plastic covers from around the dissy). Put her back together & guess what.....will not start!
So spent the whole evening putting the old parts back on! One by one. Bugger. Obviously thought firing order. Then thought best to check caps & rotors. Still no go although didn't put the old ones back as they were knacked. Finally plugs (no go) & finally leads.
I did the right thing & got Bosch caps & arms, NGK leads & plugs.
Anyone have any idea what I have done to my beautiful car?
It cranks & fires, but dies after a second or two. There is both petrol & spark.
Maybe I did something to the timing - I did wrestle with one of the caps due to a plastic shield being held by a bolt I couldn't see. Also I dropped the MAF (doh) but I don't really think this is my problems (unplugged it shows same symptoms).
My car is a 1995 LS 400.
Can anybody help? Any suggestions will be gratefully recieved. And being a bit of a car lover, I will undoubtedly return the favour in the future (to someone or other on the forum!). Cheers.
