Hi ,



I have finally come to fire my fd after i have done an engine rebuild my self. I have practically left the engine in standard form. Before attempgting to fire up the engine i have tried to pull up fault codes from the ecu by grounding ten and gnd socket in the diagnosis plug (my fd is a jdm version so i'm not sure if this still works) however i didnt get any flashing lights in the instrument cluster. So i thought it was all fine.



Then i cranked the engine with the egi relay out so as to prime up the lubrication system. Oil pressure seems to be fine according to the oil pressure gauge .



I also cranked the engine with the leading spark plugs out to confirm that compression is ok and all seemed fine.



Finally i installed the egi relay and tried to fire up the engine. After a couple of attempts the engine fired for a few seconds even though it didn't seem to fire properly and then died down . After that i have made several attempts but always in vain.

Now when i try to fire the engine , cranking starts normally and then it accelerates as if the engine is trying to go on its own but it won't. If i press the throttle during cranking , the revs start slowing down. During cranking the instrument cluster initially works normally but after some time the mileage reading disappears whilst the tacho and speedometer needles start hopping . At the same time gas fumes start coming out from the exhaust ,



I have checked if the plugs have been fouled or flooded , that the crank angle sensors are correctly connected , that spark is coming from the plugs and even tried out a different ecu but still in vain.



Any body can give hints or procedures on how to start a rebuilt engine . ?
