Have you checked the battery?

[MattDilley]

Injectors seizing up? Do you have wet spark plugs after you've turned it over?

I would put some fresh petrol in it, a decent amount 10/15 litres.

Spark, Coil, plugs, fuel, injectors.

Brilliant stuff il check the plugs to see if there wet and the battery turns it like the clappers for about 5 mins, I put about 5 litres of petrol in it and il add another 5 to see if that does anything,
may plan
1. 5 litres of petrol
2. Battery will be full power for turning it over.
3. Turn over and if the b&&€Ard doesn't start il check the plugs to see if there wet.
4. Turn car over with one plug on rocker cover to see if there's a spark.
5. Swop in another Ecu to try that
6. Try a brand new coil I have spare.
7. Say Fk it and get 10 cans of Stella and take it out on the wife.

please feel free to add to the above. Saturday or Sunday I will be going at it and I don't want to fail! It annoys me that it won't start as it always has in the past, car must be teaching me a lesson for showing no love at all for 2 years..

That's what I did last week!! so must do it this week without fail...
Been googling and a dirty crank sensor seems quite popular so might out that on the list as well, anybody had trouble with that?

[walters300]

Also ignition module, where is that located I wonder?

[walters300]

So in summary my plan is-
1. More petrol/ listen for fuel pump.
2. Clean crank sensor /Battery will be full power for turning it over.
3. Turn over and if the b&&€Ard doesn't start il check the plugs to see if there wet.
4. If there dry what can I do to the injectors to try and clean them?


4. If there wet Turn car over with one plug on rocker cover to see if there's a spark.
5. If no spark check ignition coil and il get one today in case.
6. Swop in another Ecu to try that
7. Try a brand new coil I have spare.
8. Check that the toad alarm switch by the glovebox and the transponder near the sunroof.

can anybody add or modify the above please.
thanks
