-Welsh-Stealth- Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 absolute nightmare! for some bizzare reason this morning the car just wouldn't start up!? i have recently changed the starter motor&gave it a good clean before going on. so i highly doubt it its the starter motor as i get a grinding noise when i try and start up(assume its the fly wheel) and not the "click" you get from a dead starter motor. i had a look under the bonnet and got a mate to try turn her over and im sure i heard fluid movement under the plenum&throttle body which if im not mistaken should be fuel through the fuel rail??? but looking at the injectors they look quite dirty. could that be it? do they just need taking out and a clean off? or could it be my brilliant toad alarm&imobalizer? as its stuppidly sensative anyway and constantly goes off even if its just a shadow going down the seat!? cheers any help would appreciated!

j80leo Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 If it started before you took the starter motor off then i always go back to the last bit you messed with. Have a good look around to see if you missed something off:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Welsh-Stealth- Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 im sure i put on the electrical connection and earthing wire. but i will double check to see if it hasn't come off thanks i might just strip down all the ignition system and give it a good clean.see if that does the trick.

-Welsh-Stealth- Posted June 21, 2010 Author Share Posted June 21, 2010 right!i am now matt black! i have taken apart the tb&plenum etc and i have checked: *sparkplugs=slightly damp with fuel on tip. now drying. *ecu= for loose wires etc. was fine. *followed fuel line under car to check for breaks in the line. fine. *starter motor= was secure and both connections were securely in place. *the battery was bought last year. dash lights up fine etc. *checked the ign system from the sparkplugs back. looked fine. *checked for fuel being pumped to the fuel rail. got a mate to help was fine. ended up with it all over him! ha ha! soooooo after checking that. it leads me to believe that the reason my car won't start is the immobiliser has gone tropic thunder style total retard! so now i have to hunt down the toad alarm systems phone number!? so they can remove the rubbish thing! or does anybody know if by having a new alarm system they will remove the old? because i was thinking of falcon alarm.

nasoup Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hi, my started motor packed up a couple of months back so i overhauled it and it worked perfectly first time everytime then one morning the thing would not start and didnt make the typical click click sound but it did make a horrible grinding noise almost like it was making a thousand click a second! so the first thing I did was get back under the car a tightened up the main nut on the starter motor, even though I only managed to get 1/8 of a turn tighter than it already was it solved my problems and havnt had a problem since so please just try tightening your started motor nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevins Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Right went over to see Lewis's car, and its as I thought. The starter is dead. When the key is put into the crank position the starter relay is coming in and working as it should be, Ad does not click off till the key is released. Wires are all fine as far as I can tell, just seems like sods law that it has failed over the past few weeks. He changed it due to the previous starters windings failing as his solenoid was still operating, This time its the other way round. Will be taking his previous starter for reconditioning in the morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
