Hi All,
Having a problem with the EL falcon, it will not start at all but will
turn over.
Explain Whats going on, I have just finished doing a service, oils,
filters and general look over etc when I wanted to check the ignition
timing. According to the Gregorys manual the procedure is this.
ignition off, connect timing light, connect a jumper lead between
terminal A and B on the diagnostic plug, this would be the far left
top and bottom pins that require bridging. Start the engine which
should increase to 1300 - 1600RPM, wait for 2 minutes until engine has
smoothed out. The book clearly ask you to wait for 2 minutes after the
engine is smooth, then check the ignition timing. I was waiting for
the 2 minutes to be up when the engine stopped, now it will not start.
The engine will turn over but thats it, have not checked diagnostic
codes if any yet, can anyone say this has happened before and how to
fix the problem.
Thank you
The Boy :cry:

Apologies if you already checked the obvious but are the fuses ok?
Particularly fuel pump?
Possible there was a short on the wrong diag pins (saw a friend do it once
and it did the fuel pump fuse)
