Thanks for the suggestion, I'll pick up a can tomorrow and see if it works. Where is this pipe located? Is it the one that is connected above the injector rails?

Update: just tried starting it and then pulled a plug. It was dry and didn't smell of fuel. Obviously the engine isn't getting fuel. Am I correct in saying that the only connections to the fuel system are the injector multi plugs, and the fuel line? Also still no idea where this goes...

Quick question, does the fuel line that connects to the lower intake manifold have any electrical components/connections to it? Or is it just a fuel line?

Both coil pack multiplugs connected and secured. Coil leads and injectors all connected where the cables have just enough length to reach every one. I'll have a go at pulling a plug and see if there's fuel on it. Thanks for your suggestions.

I'll have another crack at it in the morning. Still never found what that missing connector was for, nothing in its reach that it can connect to. The mysteries of the P38...

How would I go about rotating the dizzy? Where is it located? At least half the ignition leads are in the right place, so should fire up on 4 cylinders

South Wales. I don't have the patience to deal with this so I'm going to leave it for a while.

Update: Still not starting. Cranking a lot faster now, but won't fire up. Absolutely clueless. To make things worse, bonnet catches are starting to stick I'd take it to a mechanic if I could....

Just fitted a new battery. Waiting 30 minutes for the Key Code Lockout message to disappear. I'll keep you updated

Update: Found a disconnected earth, reconnected it but still not starting. Just slowly cranks. If some of the injector plugs/ignition coils were connected in the wrong order, would that have an effect? Say if half of them were running, would the car still start? Have no idea what's causing...

I'll double check in the morning what the colours are. Also found a disconnected ground so that may help the starting :rolleyes:

I'll be honest I only just bought it and only ever drove it onto my drive :D I have no idea if anything is not working, although the small screen in the centre of the dash doesn't seem to do anything....although I'd imagine the wiring for that would be behind the dash

Haha yes the whole car doesn't work, engine won't start. Only turns over slowly/ Don't have LPG fitted. If you find out what it is, please let me know. Thanks

There is an identical connector to this one which is connected at the throttle. The disconnected one doesn't extend very far from behind the engine. Clueless what it's for, I don't even remember disconnecting it

1999 4.6 No obvious tracer colours, I'll post if I find one

Red, Pink, and Black

Hi V8 4.6 won't start after HG change, just found this unplugged at the rear of the engine. Any ideas what it's from? Thanks

I'll leave it charge overnight, thanks for the help. Update in the morning

About 2 weeks altogether, half of that with battery connected

Earth strap is securely tightened. The engine does turn over, just very slowly
