Hi guys,
Daveb:
I dont think the fuel filter is blocked as there seems to be fuel getting through, when taking a spark plug out and turning the car you can see the slight puff of fuel coming out, but at a cost of only a few quid it may be worth changing.
Petes212st:
It could be flooded, but this has been happening for about a week, it should have dried out with the day or 2 I have left the car between tries. But I will give your suggestion a go.
Gary, there is an immobiliser fitted, at first I suspected that, but I cant see any other symptoms of it not working. I thought that immobilisers had a 3 point interception. Ignition, fuel pump and starter. The fuel pump primes, the starter turns and the dask electrics turn on. But I have a very limited knowledge of immobilisers.
Munny,
I have suspected the CAS too, but the fact it is sparking says to me that it is working.
One more thing I have noticed. When you turn the key to turn the car on (but not start it) you usually get an electrical sound from the back of the car which is the fuel pump and then a few clicks of relays and some priming sounds from the engine bay too. The engine bay sounds have stopped happening.
A strange question. If the ECU has blown, would I get a spark and fuel etc?
Also I have a chipped ECU, could the eprom chip have been erased?
Thanks for your suggestions.
