having some more pain in the ass trouble with my hilux
i fixed the reverse lights and switch a few days ago cos the guy doing the rego was been quite picky about it, so to check they were working correctly i kept turning the car to "on" instead of starting it, well good news thier working fine but now the car wont start. i briefly started it that night and it was running like a dog. cos i naturnally assumed it was flooded (old hilux but running EFI 18RGEU with big fuel pump)
well it was getting dark so i turned it off and went inside figuring it will be alright in the morning, but alas no i couldnt even get it cranks with the starter but just wont start.
its pissing down with rain here so i spose that doenst help.
other things i tried was playing around with the started, making usre my dumb ass mate didnt unplug anything from the haltech wen he nearly pulled the whole harness out (dam that guys a dick "i thought it was urr spare one and u kept the one that ran under the seat" like yeah i keep a fully tuned haltech under the dash just incase) i checked starter, alternator, i installed new battery terminals and everything is hooked up to it for the efi, all cables seem to be fine so the only thing i can think off is that its still flooded heaps. im no mechanic (my backgrounds panelbeating and i only did that for like 18 months) so maybe u guys can suggest something?
thanks

Check your basics first spark and fuel...
If there ok and your sus on it being flooded, pull all your spark plugs out and crank the enging do blow excess fuel from cylinders... clean the ends of your plugs, then put them back in and see if it goes....
Bale
P.S. disconnect the coil and injector leads when you crank the engine with no plugs, you don't want a bit of spark catching some fuel vapour....
