was a good days work
new fuel pump is in and who ever decided to put the fuel filter in the position its in on the MK3, should be shot! if you dont take off the fuel tank, you would never know the filter was there...
after 20mins of priming the oiling system and checking the fuel system for leaks etc.. we plugged in the ECU and left over wires..... and what do ya know it started first turn! surprisingly idles fine even with the 550's and lexus AFM... you may be able to hear a slight knocking noise, it seems to be coming from the CAS it self (and not the bottom end, thank F*#K), so might change that with our spare and see how we go. but i seemed to have fluked the timing cause it started first go lol, we were at least expecting one explosion

fuel at stock base pressure
oil around the 5-6 bar marker
and ironicly no engine light YAY
and a small tour around, idling smoothly at 850rpm.....

now for the slight problems... cyl 2 doesn't seem to be firing/working, when i pull off the ignition lead the engine does not respond to it... but taking off any of the others the engine seems to bog slightly. checking the spark plug from cyl 2, it doesnt seem to have any residue or left over fuel content on it etc, which leads me to believe that injector #2 is not working. but testing injector #6 (as they run in parallel) works fine. i will check the wiring going to injector #2 tomorrow and see if it maybe that......
but in all, a months wait for an engine that starts first go..... i think i need a beer :naughty:....
