[paul_16valver]

hi all again got 1 more problem, this should be the last one hopefully.
started by connecting the battery then turned the key lights came on as normal, heard the fuel pump noise it does then turned the key again and nothing at all didnt even crank over the only thing that made a noise was the fuel pump, been thinking it could be a relay or fuse????? any suggestions
cheers peeeeepz

you got the starter powered up fella? immob?, try plippin the car with the key then try and start it

 

[paul_16valver]

my plip keys dnt work fella never have it started fine earlier ran puuuuuuurfect but i did mess with some of the earths as my lights werent going out when it was running but put them back were they went

 

[jay]

set it on fire and be done with it m8, sounds so much hassle

 

[paul_16valver]

Could be starter motor, Try getting somene to rockit in gear and turn the key, could be a sticky starter

 

[reevio]

make sure the solenoid wire is connected to the starter or your get nowt

 

[paul_16valver]

[paul_16valver]

been out checked the starter motor all wires are connected up like i said even twated it with a hammer and still nowt, what if ive shorted the coil pack? checked all fuses cant think of owt else

did you get dash lights ? did they dim when you tried to crank it?

 

[Chris H]

why not push start it see if it will run.

Anyway I would hazard a guess at a dodgy earth or the solenoid wire, often they are pretty rotten and the plastic insulation is all that holds the wire together.
