Re: Engine won't start

The car failed to start again this morning.
Am I right in thinking that if the immobilizer light goes out on the dash then its all as it should be.?

Re: Engine won't start

Thanks for all advice given. I changed the rotor arm spark plugs and crank censor. But still would not start. It has fuel and spark and timing is correct. Immobilizer light goes out aswell. After several days tinkering it suddenly started. I ran the car for to two weeks with no problems. Then it sta...

Re: Engine won't start

The pump does prime and fuel comes out of feed when tested. I wondered if the pump could be weak and not pumping at required pressure.
I was thinking about the crank censor next.
But what's annoying is that I have fuel and spark!
yet it will not start!.

After a couple of days the engine would cut out after idling comfortably at traffic lights. Then it would be difficult to start. After I left it 5min and a long s...

Cutting out engine.

Everytime I wash my car with the engine running

Any idea's what its touching to cause an earth?
Thanks.

Re: Engine won't start

I believe the top end is ok timing wise.
Ive timed the crank using the mark on the front of the pully .
Its on the mark to the right of TDC.
Before i had it on TDC.
This made it run like a bag of bolts.
where should the mark on the back of the pully be facing.?

Thanks for all advice.
Cheers.

Ive cheched the timing and it all seem correct but it still won't start. Tried easy start and it does nothing. Dead as a doo...
