All, i'm building a kit car

 

I'm having some issues with the engine 2.0 Zetec Blacktop, basically it wont start, I managed to get it to fire up the other day but it sounded like it was running on 3 cyclinders (ran for less than 10 seconds) killed it and since then it wont start, it turns over although it sounds low on compression and whines

 

things done.

 

replaced battery

removed and replaced spark plugs - several times

New spark plugs

vented engine (no plugs)

cranked with injectors closed and trumpets open - engine pops back through the trumpet

cranked with injectors open and trumpets open - occasional blue flame out of trumpet

 

I'm starting to think the wiring on the ECU maybe wrong and the timing is out, I'm going to test the ECU/Coil pack for continuity on sunday

 

is there anything else I can try? I've done other bits and pieces but they are too numerous to list
