20vt engine mounts and non starter

hi ive got 20vt can you use the standard gti front mount?its in the car at the moment running qpeng, didnt run so tested the obvious stuff.
next i pulled the fuel rail out and the injectors all pulse once and then only one pulses. cxhecked the ecu with my friends, fuel pressures good.
any ideas?

ive tried ben and hes stumped, had a diagnostic guy come round and said it may be crank position sensor?

ive got the gti mount it doesnt fit, im running the 02j box?

if its the crank posisition sensor then you wont see a tach signal ie the rev counter wont move when cranking

when the engine is cranking over you should have a pulsing signal at the injectors have you tested you have 12v there?? good spark??

they only spark once, checked the 12v, injector 1 and coil 1 pulse. the others pulse once and then not again.i didnt buy the tacho from qpeng, would this make a difference with the revs?
do you know what front mount i need?tried a gti one but doesnt seem to fit?thanks for advice

Standard front mount should be fine, it's what i've always used.

if you have a laptop connected see if the rev counter moves under cranking

if you dont have a laptop then your working blind which is not good :lol:

sorted now was the wiring had three wires into one wire and think the resistance was to high, still dont know what front mount with the 02j box?my mk1 had 4 brake lines into the master cylinder, fitted a 16v and its got two, do you need a t-piece or something?getting excited though!
