Hi, just so you have the full picture here it is from the start........
1999 4.6 thor p38
Basically I have taken out the old 4.6 with overheating/pressure problems, I got a secondhand re-linered 4.6 gems block that had been backdated to run an early front cover with a dizzy in a classic.
I have changed everything over from my block to run it as a thor setup used my original crank sensors and knock sensors with a new cam, followers, pulleys and chain.
It's not the 1st Rover v8 I have ever built so am happy / confidant that internally cam timing etc is all correct.
Now the problem starts....
It's all back in ready for the 1st fire up........ but no spark!!
I have done the key re sync, I have done the EKA steps, I have the "check engine light" on the dash but still no spark???
I have checked the crank sensors are connected (I must admit at 1st I had missed connecting the front sensor and the left bank coil!!) I have even taken out and put back in the flywheel crank sensor.
What am I missing???
unfortunatly I have no diagnostic equipment or any access to any.......unless anyone is close to Aberystwyth that I could borrow from?
Also I am useless with anything to do with electric....it is all witchcraft to me!!
Help anyone please????
