I've just put together the engine in my v8 4.6, before plumbing the water side of things in I wanted to make sure it turned over OK. To make sure it didn't try to start I removed the spark plugs (well actually never put them in) but otherwise everything is connected the coil pack is connected to the multiplug, but the spark plugs aren't in the HT leads.
On turning the key I just get a click, The Climate Control Screen goes blank but stays lit. If I put the headlights on, they don't dim at all.
However if I supply 12v directly to the Spade Terminal on the starter motor the starter motor spins over happily and the engine turns nicely.
So I've acheived my aim of turning the engine over but now have found this problem that I would like to cure.
Any ideas?
