Hey so I got myself a restoration EG8 1.5 LSI andi have a problem with the engine...
I got the car as a non runner went to my work shop and connected a new battery and TADA it started after giving the starter motor a smash or two.
Ive Changed the Starter motor and it started fine thought wow ive fixed it but now It just dont want to turn over even with Jump leads. Some times it backfires other times theres some kind of pop in the engine bay, and i cant figure out what it could be... any ideas
Also if i manage to get it started as soon as i put my foot on the accelerator it dies ...
Many thanks
James
