1.8 gti help .
got a mk 1 golf 1.0l but has had a 18 gti engine put in badly i might add , after a good few nights tidying things up which i hoped would of fixed the not starting when hot problem , it hasnt ,,
so the problem i have got it is . it will start from cold and drive superb, 2 or 3 minute ride and it wont start just keeps cranking ,
i know there is a few post about this and i have looked through,
things i have done new leads plugs cap arm< came with the car >
fuel filter new lines cleared.
new pump and fuel acumulator . had kicking about .
cant find this hall sensors which a few posts refer to .
checked timing marks but havent checked the 3rd wheel forgot its name atm to stressed .
also was wondering dose any 1 have a picture of a fuel accumulator mounted as i think this might be the problem its lying on its side and if iirc it supose to be upright ?
any piointers would be great thank you ..

Avoid with a barge pole!!!!!!!!!
Maybe the installation is missing some of the K-Jet fuel injection parts. It sounds like it, for example the accumular is a cylinder and it wouldn't make any difference how its mounted, however to mount it vertical? How??? etc etc
Your best hope is to get the car side-by-side with a proper GTI and go through the entire fuelling and engine electrical system, to figure out what's installed and what's not. It could come down to something as simple as the wrong metering head, after all what do you have???
etc
Hall sender is on the dizzy - what one did they use? The GTI one? etc

What's an RST? Are you sure it has an accumulator?
The accumulator is at the back of a Mk1 Golf GTI.
