    no start up

    hi guys iv just had my engine fully recond. and myself and a friend have put it all back in and everything is back in place and all wired up,

    but when we went to start it up i put the key in and the handbrake light cums on and the battery light cums on and the digital temp gauge is on and the oil level is working but when u go to turn the key to fire her up theres nothing.

    iv charged the battery and checked the starter motor and checked all the earths and there ok. im stuck for ideas guys unless the imobiliser??????


    but when i got the car the guy said it had a clifford alarm on it and he took that out and disconnected it all and replaced the battery in the key fob and put a new imobaliser unit inn, near the interior light but when i bought the car the imobaliser never worked and never had to rest or use it due to not working


    sorry bout the spelling lol

    cheers mark really need help

    Check the voltages, with a voltmeter, at the fuses/relays are properly energised when you turn the key.

    if the fuel pump is not priming i would assume that would either be an imobiliser issue or an ecu raleted one

    Are you getting good battery voltage at the starter motor main cable?

    If so, is there 12v between the solenoid feed and earth when you turn to cranking position?

    Right if;
    A: All off the earths are connected
    B: The starter has a good 12v continuous supply
    C: If the starter wire that plugs onto to starter comes live when the key is turned.

    This means the starter has had it if it still won't start.

    Maybe you have tested it wrong as it sounds like an immobiliser to me with no fuel pump or starter (the two things they controle).

    Let me know how you get on.
