Josh42 Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 I've recently done an auto-manual conversion on the supe. Having just finished, I came to start it, but nothing.. It will engage the starter motor and 'cough' but it just will not fire up. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nikue Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Check Fuses as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The Auto has a start inhibitor, which prevents you starting your car in 1, 2, 3, D and R. My money is on that. It's only a case of a little wiring. There's a how to, in the FAQ section, it tells you exactly how to do it in there. I can't remember myself. Hope this helps John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 If it's engaging the starter, it won't be the neutral / park switch (inhibitor). Does the fuel pump prime? Have you checked the basics for spark / fuel? Also check theres no damn alarm on it that's causing issues with fuel pump / B+ circuit.

ripped_fear Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 The igniter functioning/Bolted down ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 There's no spark at all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 24, 2012 Author Share Posted October 24, 2012 Still no spark, tried the auto ECU, still no spark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted October 24, 2012 Share Posted October 24, 2012 Ok. Do you get the engine management light with the ignition onto the 2nd click? This will show whether the ECU's powering up. If so you need to check the igniter has a proper ground, ie bolted to the chassis, not over 2 inches of paint either. Check you're getting 12v on the B+ circuit, either in the passenger footwell, grey plug, two larger wires (black + orange stripe) or at the igniter. Also, any bloody alarm on it?

Josh42 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) There's a Clifford alarm but that's activating and deactivating as it should.. The ignitor wasn't removed during the conversion so I'd imagine it would be grounded okay...

Josh42 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 And I don't believe there is fuel either, the plugs came out bone dry and not smelling of fuel... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 is it a N/A or TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ugp Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 (edited) And I don't believe there is fuel either, the plugs came out bone dry and not smelling of fuel... You need to start answering questions haha. Does the ECU power up? Do you get an EML with the key onto the 2nd click? What did you do with the wiring exactly? There's a b+ feed down on the auto wiring, any chance you could have shorted that and blown the fuse? Have you checked the B+ fuse? It's a right bugger in the drivers footwell.

Josh42 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I checked every fuse in both fuse boxes last night. Wiring wise I plugged the speed sensor into the side of the box, soldered the black wire and the black and white wire together to fool the inhibitor switch and that's it as far as wiring goes... The display where the engine management light is, shows only the oil lights due to dry solder....ill swap it for rich.2211's tonight..

mellonman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Thats what i thought so you wouldnt have a ignitor anyway, is the coil getting voltage? to be fair its very odd that you are getting no fuel and no spark are you 100% that the alarm is working correctly?

Also check +12v to one of the two injector wires if you can get at them, they receive a feed from b+ too. Even if you've got +12v on them, doesn't mean the ecu is firing up. Do you have anything tapped into the harness down there or is it all stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 is the fuel pump priming? if not short out b+ and FP in the diagnostic port on the engine and see if the fuel pump works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 25, 2012 Author Share Posted October 25, 2012 I cant hear the fuel pump priming... It's all stock on the ECU... That's the engine bay as I'm looking at it, I have ignitors on both strut towers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mellonman Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 does it prime with the short in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ugp Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 You really need to see if that ECU is power up. Also, check for +12 on one of the injector plugs (with the ignition on of course ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh42 Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 Car has started! I've just took it out, but my brakes bound on after a while. Will be checking them over tomorrow. Thanks for your help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
