Hi Peeps, Got my car back from PPS yesterday and had no problems with the car. It needed a jump start but after 300 miles the battery was fully charged :D.

 

This morning it doesn't want to start. It turns over fine but just doesn't fire.

ConZult Error shows all clear (55).

 

I'm in the process of stripping the coil packs down to check the plugs.

 

Any other ideas of things I can try if I don't find anything ?

agreed!

Compression tests tell you you've got a problem

Cylinder leakage tests tell you what the problem is :D

 

The Cylinder leakage test that PaulC did pointed to the inlet valves.

The ConZult can't tell you what the ignition timing is, only what the ECU thinks it is - you need a timing light on the crank pulley to prove that.

Hi Jeff, the belt was changed by yourself when I first got the car back in November. I have had the belt/timing checked recently and it is spot on. The crank angle sensor is reading 15 Degrees via my conZult.

Yes, that's true.

But the garage I took it to to check the timing did strip it down and check the timing and said it was spot on.

But even if the time had slipped a took on one side, the timeing would be out through the rev range and not just at idle wouldn;t it.

 

So even if the timing wasn't checked (which is was) it would be safe to say that because the lumpy idle (especially when cold)doesn't replicate itself after about 1.5k rpm it's nout to do with the timing would it not ?

Fooking Thing won't start again. Been trying for 3 days now :mad:

 

Taken the plugs out gave em a good clean,put them back in but still no luck.

 

It just doesn't want to fire. Turns over fine.

 

0 resistance between the negative on the battery and the earth from the PTU.

 

I think I'm gonna try new plugs, anyone got any new ones for sale ?.

 

Any other suggestions ?.

The cars going in to get the valaves replaced the week after next, but I would really like to get to Trax this year :(.

i take it youve done the obvious then fuel present , checked you actually have a spark. the last time this happened to me it was a combination of corroded connections on ptu and injector connectors. i suppose youve done all that aswell though. all you can do is run through the obvious and dont rule anything out because you cleaned those connectors last time. hope you get it started mate as i wanted another look ayt your motor at trax.

 

cheers ...lee
