hi
this was recovered to the garage having just cut out, i scanned and found no fault codes, it turns over and there is an attempt to start but seems to hydraulic with a fairly strong smell of petrol, checked timing and fuel quality all ok and there is a strong spark. on live data the injectors are seen to start opening at 66 ms then drop to 48 ms and stay there is this normal, i have heard of issues with injectors but would this give these symptoms
thanks in advance

Hi Colin,
If the ECU is next to the battery under the bonnet on this, then check ECU connectors carefully for water ingress.

Hi Colin

Can you confirm the inj opening time with a scope?

Is this a cassette style coil pack (cow udders I call them)

Is the coil pack being fired at the correct time in the correct firing order.

It would be nice to check this with a scope..... But if you allow the spark to happen outside the cylinder ie making it safe and holding the coil pack away from the plugs does the vehicle turn over with out locking up.
