Well....

Its seems like ive been working on the zed for months. (oh wait, it has been months!)

This week was meant to be the week it burst into life.

After getting it all together, it wouldn't start. Cranking, but no spark!

 

After talking to Jeff and going through everything, nothing got it to work.

I read the ECu and it was trying to give me this weeks lotto numbers!

 

As advised, i left the battery off overnight, and got the all clear code in the morning. After trying to start it, got code 34.

 

Im not a mechanic, but ive had my mate with me who is for most of the journey.

 

He's put it down (he thinks anyway) to it being a faulty wire, somewhere between the fusebox, ECU and coils.

 

With this meaning that the engine is more than likely having to come out, im running out of optimism.

 

Ive been looking at buying another Zed, not found one i want yet but still looking every night!

 

What to do, what to do, eh?

Are you getting a spark at the plugs?

Are you getting fuel to the injectors?

What PTU do you have?

Have you cleaned all contacts?

Is the timing correct?

Have you cleaned the CAS connectors?

34 so its det sensor circuit then id check for feed at the det sensor connector :) not sure off the top of my head if that would not start it but id start looking at ptu next and resistance on the coils or have you done all this already?

 

Edit as above as well what has been done? Is the engine a good one with good compression?

Det sensor wouldn't cause the engine not to start, but would pop the code up. I'm just wondering, as the det sensor is giving an error; is it even plugged in? if not are you sure you havent plugged something else into the wrong connector?. as the det sensor shares the same type of connection as other things in the engine bay.

Don`t give up your so close now, your only a few miles away just get it trailered to us and will get its started for you, you know you want to...:wink:
