RobUK Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Hi Guys Just arrived at the O2 after a 1 hour drive from home.. Parked the car and as I lifted my foot off the accelerator the car cut out. Tried to start the car again but she won't turn over.... Car has fuel, starter motor is turning but the car doesn't start.... I am here for a couple of hours now until Peter Kay finishes..... Hoping the car will start later or I'll be calling the RAC.... Any ideas? Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 NA or TT? Is the fuel pump priming? Does it smell of fuel when cranking it? Check wires to ignitor pack. Do you get any coughs or splutters as if its trying to fire? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Just cranks.... I'll check fuel pump and ignitor pack when I leave later... Fingers crossed she starts..... TT btw Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobUK Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 So came out of O2 and the car wouldn't start.... Tried a couple of things and they didn't work so called the RAC.... Continued to work my way through checking things and thankfully checked the ECU harness.... Which had somehow worked it's way loose..... Ahhhh Oh well better than waiting for the RAC... Just got to put the footwell back together tomorrow and try ANC find out why it came loose in the first place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Peter Kay hasn't started yet.... Any ideas?? Cheers Rob Were you trying to start Peter Kay or the car? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB B Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Well done, thats horrible when things happen like that, unusual for the ECU connector to work loose, I bet it put a bit of a dampener on your enjoyment of Pete Kay, shame, good you fixed it and good for the rest of us to remember.

Hi Bob Well let's be honest.... We know more about Supras than most mechanics... It was only because my SAFC was dead that I started pulling the passenger footwell apart.... Worth a check if the car won't start though.... Cheers Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
