Engine Just Stopped

[MiniGibbo 142]

Basically im sat at the road side as my cars just stopped..

 

Story goes high revs in second, changed to third and the car lost all power then stalled. Rolled to the side of the road and now it won't start.

 

fuel pump primes

Lights are on

Starter motor spins or at least sounds like its spinning.

 

Rac man reckons he's an hour away..

 

Any ideas?

Is the cam/cam pulley turning when you crank it over?

Just got home,

 

The Rac man came out and was a French hatch buff him self was quite funny he was well clued up lol..

 

Everything worked but the injectors just wouldn't work even though they had fuel, he commented on how crap the wiring is on my conversion :S

 

Turnt out the plug that gives the injectors power had popped apart!! Twenty minutes fiddling and I was on my way

I'm undecided on what quite to do, do I get a new engine loom and rechop it in there or try an get my current loom "bettered"

Stick with your loom as long as its in reasonable nic, it works so take it out tidy it up/get rid of un-used wires and route correctly not how it is now hanging off stuff!

I planned to do as much to this car as i could as its simple so would make a good learner car..

 

Tidying this loom though i beleive is beyond my abilities
