Parked the rs500 up in the garage couple of days ago after using it basically everyday day for the last month.. went to start it this morning and the thing wont start, the engine managment light is on.. it turns over fine but wont fire any help would be appreciated

 

Fuel pump making right noises?? If not theres your problem - check the wiring and the fuse behind the dash. Also does the relay in there sound clicky?

Next step would be to wiggle the crank sensor and recheck

Good luck - assume the plugs have been checked? Wet with fuel rules out my first point

 

does the engine managment light come on if the pump isnt working?? its making all the right noises and stinks of petrol

all plugs have been checked..

have not tried the crank position sensor tho.. il give it ago tomorrow.

any more ideas??

 

Next guess would be to check inside the dizzy cap to see if the wires are freyed in there. They can short out as the cover plastic wears off during movement.

Do you have a spark? Have you clipped and unclipped the ECU as someone on here simply did that to sort the problem a while back?

 

Stinks of petrol?? What chip are you running - not simply flooded is it??

 

nah its not flooded mate.. the engine managment light is on tho

 

How old is the crank pos sensor? Get a new one if I were you if thats the apparent prob. Good luck

 

sell it to me!

 

stinks of petrol???

sounds like you have no spark. see if you have live (+ve) to both sides of the coil with the ignition on.

if you have, see if there is a spark at the coil.

 

Check all of your earths.

 

I'd try crank position sensor and phase sensor first mate. I'm guessing the pump is ok as its buzzing away.
