oooo...dunno then..sorry Just renew all the links you use as they may still be set to old links... just an idea... if it dont work im sure someone that actually knows will be along soon. Good Luck :duffer:

If you used a piccy from your old rides section then it has been taken off line. update your ride section and use one of those.... I think :smash:

All thanks to you Mark...(and those that also helped) CHEERz :duffer: :duffer: :duffer: God its good to be back in a Z

ello baz.. Yer ...definately need to get a temp sensor done. Groupbuy at MJP ....lol I need to change the plugs...not a prob as i have a new set courtesy of chunks clearout prices :dance: (thanks chunk) I have ordered my Megan divorce manifolds and de-cats so just waitin for the delivery of item now. I see you also had the Megan ones so if you feel like overseeing the fitment of these sometime then give us a bell bud :slap: :D

You got pm mate ;)

:nana2: :dance: :dance: :dance: :nana2: Lifesaver.... Removed it...spun it till it seemed to speed up a little bit....put fuse back in... HeyPresto.... BBBBRRRRRMMMMMM BBBRRRRMMMMMM So it was a flooded engine... DOH :headvswal How could this happen as you never have to push the throttle pedal to start anyway so how would it flood??? was it something to do with the fact i had started it for less than a minute the other day that caused the sensors to fookup? or is it to do with the dodgy o2 sensor...would this be able to overfuel so quickly from starting? is it something to do with what ChrisP said? :- Any one know if this is a problem brewing? I know i know...solved the problem and im still bugging you lot with questions...lol...Sorry peeps anyway...Thanks to all who chipped in and helped (especially TopLess) ...much appreciation :bow:

tried that now and nothing there either..thanks anyway :cool: Im gonna try n locate the fuse for the fuel pump now and see if that works like TopLess said.

hi... :cry: no...i havnt got a spare :cry: is there anyway i can be sure its the PTU? Thankyou

ello :cool: The connector under the footwell?...is that the blue one? I will try it now...ta

The timing mechanism is done up tight so not sure if or how it would of moved. How would i check the timing without starting car starting ? Ta

Not a bean mate...lol any ideas please?

And yes..I have got Juice init...not diesel :xxx:

Ive had one sort of start and it spluttered and sounded like runnin on one cylinder then died(lasted bout 3 secounds) :hurl:

Yer done that thanks splatt.....Still no ignition :mad:

The PTU was spotless ....put it back on...still no go :headvswal

The fact that im getting a spark at all does that rule out a dodgy PTU??? I had sparks but to be honest they wernt all that big..nice blue electric colour but nothing spectaculer....not that frequent either...but then as its not running it wouldnt be that fast i supose? :confused:

I have now tested the front four coil packs and Im getting sparks on them. The rear two i havnt tested as you have to remove alot of stuff just to get them out :smash: I would think that at least four sparking coils would be enough to get even a hint of a start of fire? What the feck is it? HHmmmmmm connector of and cclean time me thinks

Hi ... Im in Stevenage :D I have just checked for sparks and fuel and have a nice petrol smell at the rear..not to much but enough. I also have sparks...i have only tested no:1 but am about to test the rest. i would of thought it unlikely that it would be spark plugs as the chances of all of them dieing instantly would be fairly rare.so i should at least get a sign of a ignition but nowt :headvswal very stuck now. I have wiggled CAS and PTU connectors whilst trying to start but no luck. will have to take them off now and clean but the coil connectors are spotless so i doubt its corroded terminal problems. Any help please peeps

OK....have just done a ConZult test and im getting these results:- CODE 33: HEATED OXYGEN SENSOR CIRCUIT - LEFT (16 STARTS AGO) CODE 34: KNOCK SENSOR CIRCUIT (1 STARTS AGO) So neither of these is my problem as it happend less than 16 starts ago but more than 1 start ago. plus the knock/det sensor wont stop the Zed from running. and the o2 sensor has always been a bit iffy but would only overfuel and not stop the Z from running completely. HHmmmmm... Does this mean its not ptu either as surely i would of had a code for it??? just about to check for spark and fuel.... TBC....

CHEERZ....will update as i go

Mornin :wack: Thats first in line todo bud...but me missus wernt up at 530 this mornin so ive had to wait till she rises to have a smell whilst i crank it over. I have new plugs to fit thanks to Chunk but will plug a spare in first n see if its kicking anything out. Then its ConZult time and connector cleaning...arce

Not yet bud....Its only just finished lashing it down outside so im off in a min to do all the connectors and a ConZult check. Shall i use wd40 on the contacts even if there already clean or is there a better stuff to use? Ta

Mornin mate yer...certainly am...all as the norm....just wont fire...not even a pip :rolleyes:

PMSL at the ducks... just you wait till they give you the bill :mac1:

Same old story peeps...Zed wont start :mad: Have trawled through 500 threads this morning since 6am and have loadsa ideas to try thanks to the excellent database. Would appreciate any further ideas or extra tips if you can think of any please. PROBLEM: last used Zed on friday afternoon and has been running superbly for 4 months since ive had it. Started it sunday afternoon (was gona goto town init but used wifes car instead...wont go into that now..space issues..lol) Anyhow..it started and i then switched it off within a minute. Try to start it this morning at 5:30 and it was a no go. INFO: series 1 PTU :rolleyes: :xxx: Used to start within 1 secound Full Battery power. Starter cranks engine but doesnt even hint at starting. Fuel pump primes as normal. It has been raining most of the night but have never had any leaks in engine bay and it was bone dry when i lifted the bonnet. I have never experinced any problems with the MAF in the rain due to the Apexi fitted and was last used in the dry anyway so no chance of the water getting in.so am doubting this fault. Have wiggled all connectors but it is lashing it down this morning so am unable to remove and clean connectors at the mo through as i dont want water getting in every where and making it worse. I am waiting till my misses wakes up to tell me if she can smell fuel or not when i crank the car. My left o2 sensor is not very good but has been cack for a while now and never had any probs. AREAS TO CHECK:- #1)Connections corroded #2)ecu error codes #3)coil packs #4)MAF #5)PTU series 1=code 21, i.e. a PTU failure #6)Spark plugs or any spark #7)CAS connector (crank angle sensor) (code11) If the CAS was faulty the ECU would keep cutting the fuel pump when it wasn't getting a signal. = remove the coilpack connectors and check for water down there.fault readings and if it's come up with crank sensor=the connection on the CAS #8)Conzult #Question 1)Will my ConZult tell me if the PTU is fooked? Apparently a code 21 is the result but is this for definate or is it just saying there is no connection or a electrical fault somewhere? #Question2)Will the ConZult tell me anything at all if the car wont start? From all i have read this problem seems as if it is either Dodgy connections or a fooked PTU the later being the most likely as what connectors have been apart were spotlesly clean. obviously im gonna check for sparks and fuel first :rolleyes: As soon as it stops lashing it down im off outside for the day tinkering and fiddling (with the car...come on chaps :rolleyes: not like that) Any suggestions or other tips much appreciated as im feeling sorry for myself :cry: ThankZ
