check the connectors on the distributor and ignition modules?

give us a photo of your old caliper and we will be able to tell

Judging by the above it appears you were all right in thinking it was the timing. I have no crank pulley puller so I'm going to try get one tomorrow so I dont have much hassle as most of the crank pulleys edge is already chipped away from someone else before me. Can anyone tell me which of the marks in pic number 2 I need to line up (A or C) and what the tippex mark (B) is for?

Thanks for your help so far. 

check if the cam gears have their dots alligned aswell?

disregard, just saw you already did that

I would replace the timing belt and set the timing correct according to the guides, it should work then

Cilinder numbers go from 1 to 4 starting at the timing belt side

Would you sell the Tein springs by themselves and ship overseas?

Do you maybe also have an adjustable panhard?

Thanks maerijn, I had a look at the distributor and I now see the adjustment slot and it looks centred and I didn't have that off I only removed the cap and replaced it.

I want to check all the easiest things first before taking on the bigger task of checking the timing ect just in case something else goes wrong along the way. 

I have noticed I have a remaining DTC(diagnostic trouble code) for the Map Sensor that wont clear itself. It wasn't there before until I disconnected the plug for it and cranked the engine over but I've had the battery disconnected overnight for charging purposes so I expected the code to clear. But code 31 for Map Sensor still remains. I've bench tested it following a video found online but the problem is I don't have any specs chart to compare my results with so I'm guessing its working until I find another Map sensor to test from a running engine. I will furter check its wiring if I can.

Maybe check if your MAP sensor has a bad ground or broken vacuum hose?

Would get an ebay slim fan, have had mine for years

Your colourcode will be on the identification plate on the firewall

I'm not sure, how is this done? I think I saw it mentioned somewhere where you rotate the distributor cap to set it as a quick fix but I don't recall any adjustment on it when I had it off. Could I have offset it by mistake if there is some adjustment on it I wasn't aware of?

The way to do it is to loosen the 2 bolts which hold the distributor assy and rotate the entire thing.

If you have it set about halfway it will be roughly correct, but the way to perfect it is to use a timing light

Hows your ignition timing set?

As you mentioned your spark plugs were wet-looking I suspect the headgasket failed.

These differences in compression will not be good for your engine in the long run even if it was running well

If you feel like you are mechanically inclined enough I would replace the headgasket instead of doing an engine change

Do the basics. Compression test. Timing. Did you touch the distributor? Got the correct plugs? Disconnected grounds or lose plugs (mapsensor??) 

Maybe just a piece of cloth you had blocking the intake got sucked in the intake?

I have a short route pipe but still had to cut and modify it to make it fit.. will get a photo this evening

I've got a ramhorn and fmic fitted..whats the problem exactly?

I believe standard gt and glanza drive shafts are green..if yours is black it might have been replaced

Fuse may be in the dash underneath the steering wheel but could also be bad wiring or ground

Turbo timer doesnt work?

it seems to be sitting very loosely in its bushings

Is it plugged in on the gearbox? Try a different switch in that?

what about the earth on the gearbox?

sounds like a vacuum leak

Zisco ramhorn  You wont have any problems with cracking manifolds for a while, thats for sure. Should've polished it before fitting
