Good day.

I'm having a problem with my Ford Bantam 1.3
rocam. I've changed my head gaskets and replace
my oil and oil filters and I've torque the head the
nm's I should've. I ensemble everything and I start
the vehicle and it start right away so I drove like
30km and the vehicle started overheating and the
vehicle just cut of. I tried to start it but it won't
start. The vehicle crank and there is spark but no
luck with it to start. Please help.

The starter solenoid wire is running in the same channel as the crank angle sensor. When the starter solenoid is energized this induces a higher voltage into the crank angle sensor wiring. Move this solenoid wire out of the crank angle sensor wiring channel. Check the condition of the main starter cable from the battery to the starter. Clean the terminals and the amperage draw on this cable. Check the earth cable from the battery negative to the body and fit an extra earth cable from the battery Neg terminal to the gearbox.
