99 wf festiva 1300 3b engine rebuild non starter series two

[Froger]

As above whole description below .. But first I ask what Diagnostic scan tool is accurate to detect faults on this Vehicle ,I note OBD2 scanner for fords , is this the correct , and will this plug into my diagnostic plug under the bonnet to chase codes ? I was kindly given a work shop PDF for the injection set up so now asking if anyone can help me answer this question please .

Hello , As above I have rebuilt the top end on my 1300 B3 injected engine as I bought it cheap with low milage and a blown head gasket .. I've rebuilt the whole lot of it back to fresh clean , new parts everywhere including new clutch and seals and such !
Now engine box all back in a week ago so attempted to start it and it fired a little erratic so played with all the timing ,checked compresion , on each cylinder all good , couple of leaks around the manifold which I fixed , then proceeded to start again ..
Fired up nicely idling quiet good let it run for half hour , then turned on and off through the rest of the day no worries ... Next day I attempted to start again and no go , checked all the plugs for spark number 1 cylinder wasn't firing traced that back to distributor cap replaced distributor.. It fired on one rotation then just free spun not firing...

I'm feeling it's back to the fuel injector system , i note there is pressure from the filter to manifold as I unscrewed the hose clamp and it squirted out the hose with pressure and quickly tightened back up .. All I can think is to check injectors and leads to them ! Or can some tell me where in the circuit system relates to injectors firing

Any help from knowledgeable Festiva Injection owners or former or anyone would be much appreciated .. As i've put a lot of time and money into this car which is great on fuel consumption ! Much appreciate any help given !
Cheers
Fred

What's currently wrong with it?

Everything I wrote in the in the comment .. It's turns over and won't fire ,has spark , good compression even all ports , fuel . Next I'll all the hoses for leaks to the injector system and pull the injector rail out to test injectors , short of all that need to find a scan tool as I believe it's a OBD11 scanner .. Needs to have 20 hole plug under the bonnet !

If it was running before, it's unlikely an injector/s has gone bad suddenly.
What you might be experiencing is some more likely something like an air/airpocket or forgetting an earth on the harness.
It would be better for you to test your injectors at the connector with a Noid led light.
That's all assuming you're on the right path with the fuel being the issue...

Have you started it on aerosols? Does it run/rev okay with them?
