since the mega hot weather my car has started not staring very well,

there is fuel & spark and it does try to run, but you have to hold it on the key turning over nearly running for a good few seconds.... it used to be literally turn over once and it was away.

last month it had a new ECT and phase sensor and the plugs are only 1500 miles old - once started if you stop it again, it does fire up straight away, any obvious ones....? cheers.

 

its fookin cut out now 3 times on the way home - just dies away, then the rev counter needle goes to about 500 rpm as you crank it but not firing, then after about 5 mins stood, it fires with a big bang!!

TDC sensor anyone...?

it was replaced a couple of years ago (5K miles) i thought they lasted longer than that....?!?!?

ive ordered one from GGR, asap,


anyone any mor clues as to what else to check for, done all the obvious ones

 

had several volt meters on various points waiting for it to fail again, its the fuel pump stoppnig running - traced it to a high resistance contact on the fuel pump relay.
swapped it and it now runs fast and loud phew,

can someone confirm the fuel pump reay finis and ignition for the ecu relay please ?

Cant help with the code though, sorry.

 

your getting good at tracing these faults dave!

people will be bringing their cars to you next

 

ill just get to know all the faults you can get on a cossie after 7 years of cossie ownership, then sell it never to own one again
