2,0 starting problems. Options

[Lars OLesen]

Hello you all

Thanks for a great and informative forum (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sorry for my poor american, I´m danish.

I have a 74 2,0 which can not start. Prior to this it only startet on 2 cylinders and after a 5 min. warm up it ran on all 4 , but often with a lot of hick ups.
I pulled the distributor, cleaned the trigger points which look fine, fixed the ignition advancing which was stuck. cleaned everything and lubed the moving parts. I found out that one of the connections in the 3 legged connection for the trigger points was not pushed all the way in, hope this will cure the starting on 2 cyl. and hick up problem.

But now it will not start. I´ve checked everything multible times and found out it is lack of fuel to the injectors. Only the start up injector works.

Any ideas about what I fucked up?

Any help will be appreciated (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Sounds like that maybe be it. Control of the injector banks is from the trigger points, of course, and duration is controlled by the ECU with input from the mps and cht. No chance you disconnected the mps? I doubt that would do it but you never know.

You sure the plug is back on the trigger points correctly?

Also make sure the distributor is fully seated.

I hate pulling the injectors but it is the quickest way to verify.

I mucked with my original distributor for a few months, got it working pretty good, pulled it, put it safely on a shelf and installed the 123. Well worth it and no more wear and tear on the original.
