Only sprayed once just to test, think its over fueling as really smells out of exhaust of fuel or its not firing at right time as its not burning the fuel

General fuel pump relay
no two problems with the aromatic hydrocarbons:
they will fire up by Deisel and over pressure the head gasket if you are unlucky. you only have to do it once too often
cause they will Deisel you are only confirming that your valve timing is ok and your head gasket has not yet blown
if you want to confirm spark remove number 1 plug lead attach it to a spare plug and lay the plug on cam cover flat there should be a detectable spark
to confirm timing remove number 1 plug and top cam belt cover confirm number 1 piston is at top dead centre when cam pulley pointer is aligned with notch, push the auto in gear to rotate engine until pointer aligns.
You should not have swapped leads or coil packs if you have done so you need to put them back correct.
if it reeks of petrol is the relay still clicking?
if it runs at all the timing is only out a tooth or two...
which symptoms do we have now? Is the ECU light on or intermittent?

Try this, swap the 2 coil packs connector.
When i do the timing on the 16v, the nipple on the crank pulley needs to be on the opposite side of the crank sensor once timed up.

Is the cams from 1.2 16v same as 1.4 16v?

Doesn't seem to kepp clicking now, ive got a new coolant temp sensor on its way to me today to try, the temp gauge on the dash doesn't move even though can tell engines warm
that one on dash uses a different sensor.

The 1 on dash did work before I done the hg few days ago? Still got temp sensor on route, but fan cuts in & out as should so may not be temp sensor?

Wouldn't be caused by using 1.2 16v injectors & throttle body?
the stock SPI ECU and SPI injector should be ok with a 1.4 16 valve to 3k rpm... is that what you have?
the fan is controlled by a sensor/switch on the rad still?
so the next step ---- is the temp sender for the ECU ok with multi meter on ohms measure with hot coolant and cold coolant and you need to estimate the temp of the coolant you need to disconnect the plug and connect both leads to the pins of the sender
did you pull a good sender from a SPI auto?
the correct values of resistance are on the site somewhere cold has a high resistance warm low
and is the ECU light intermittent or on solid

Going cinq heaven, as ive now done all I can & its just not getting any better
On a different note 3 spark plugs are dry 1s wet

hmm sad to hear if you have truly given up i may be interested pm me but only if you are sure

Im sure its not?
If you are giving up, pop it in classifieds: I'd be interested, too.
