Or is it not a gasket just sealant ?

do not ever use sealant, you'll end up in a sad financial mess if you do.

OEM seal or OEM seal those are your options.

Note the S14 and S15 seal fits too on your R33 R34

So I've f**ked up along the way somewhere I changed it over I thought all went well, but won't start, cranks over but doesn't start tonight after work I gotta take it back out and double check my wiring were right positive to positive n negative to negative, there's a dash light on but I dno what it is

That tells you when your Cat Coverter is blocked (there is a temp probe in the Cat that sets off the light at a certain temp)

Could it be a Cat problem? If that is coming up when you are trying to crank I doubt it. I'd only expect it to come up after the car is driven for a bit

Are you hearing the pump run? If no it may be a wiring issue. I remember remarking at how brittle/fragile some of the fuel pump wiring was, maybe something has broken with those. If you are hearing the pump run I would pull the whole assembly back out and make sure everything is installed as it should be.

I would confirm you are hearing the pump first. Then, if you are, pull the fuel line going to the fuel rail off and try to crank it and see how strong of a stream you have (you may want to just test for pressure).

If those tests "fail" then I would pull the pump out and inspect everything.

Not sure if its the same on R32's but on my R33 if i turn the key about halfway between on and start and hold it there the fuel pump runs. Did so with Power FC anyway and the Link does it to however cuts the pump after a few seconds

What would happened when I try to start the car if I didn't put the hoses on correctly? I've checked I can defiantly hear the pump, but still won't start just cranks, thought that I've put everything back the way it was originally but don't understand why won't start. Any ideas

Maybe you have the inlet and outlet hoses crossed? On the 32s that space is tight and they could easily get crossed. Easiest way to check is to pull fuel line going to rail and reroute it into a bucket. If you can crank it and fuel comes out, you know they are plumbed correctly.

Also, what condition is your fuel filter in? A clogged filter could give you grief as well.

If you took the hoses off at the pump and aren't getting any flow, the issue is in the tank. If the pump was working correctly you'd have fuel everywhere.

To answer your last question, you want to focus on the hose between the filter and the rail, removing it from where it connects to the rail.

But start at the tank, it sounds like your pump isn't pumping.

    • Structured text and other high level PLC programing languages are not allowable in Functional Safety. They are very difficult to audit. My PLC stuff is almost exclusively oriented towards Burner Management Systems which are a particularly pernicious form of Safety Instrumented System, when implemented in an SPLC. Even the part of the code written to work in the non-safety logic part of the PLC, like with a Siemens S7-1500 series, still needs to be treated as if it was safety code, with access restrictions, code fingreprints and the like. And Allen Bradley can go EABODs. They ae full of shit. They have this whole lie going on where they say if you use a ControlLogix controller and its IO, and then just duplicate the IOs (ie, run in series or parallel depending on type, to try to make it "fail safe") and "use these programming styles and place these restrictions on what you do" that you can achieve SIL2. What a load of crap. They just get away with it because no-one in the US seems to understand the first thing about Functional Safety and carries on as if all they have to do is buy only SIL2 rated equipment and hey presto, it's a SIL2 system. Idiots. /rant
    • If you're really considering leaving it, a great question to ask is, is the magnet going to stick to the sump? The answer to the above is the same answer towards if I'd have any level of comfort leaving it... Personally, based on the cost of a motor if the magnet were to cause damage, I'd be fishing it out either way. Use the methods in here. It fit in through the plug hole, it'll come out.   PS, get a small actuatable claw for a bore scope. OR if you know a vet, they have really cool controllable scopes with hooks on the end. Supposedly they're like playing a video game. Ask if they can acquire you one of their scopes... Engine oil after all is just a different type of lube right? Will only make it easier on the next dog or cat...
    • All other (Boolean) logic functions though, are just built on those blocks above. Which does give you a lot of functionality in logic. It is basing that on using thresholds with analogue signals like GTS alluded to.   Not having things like timers will make it less useful for some of the ramp up logic you'd want, and again, on Haltecs capacity specifically, I'm not across anymore what you can / can't do with different tables.   I'm assuming, with your logic you want to implement, not only do you want your timing safeties, you're wanting to be able to derive the duty cycle for your solenoid, to maintain I'm assuming 175PSi? Or are you using a standalone WMI controller to maintain the DC correct, and you just want the Haltech working out which fuelling maps you should be on?
    • It doesn't seem to follow revs. Oddly it seems to follow TPS a little bit from what I can see, but with some delay a bit. IE end of the graph, when he lets off throttle fully, pressure drops a lot, then slowly builds back up, but rpm is on a nice cruisey drop off. I do agree though, it seems very electrically.
