Clio mk1 1.8 16v ph2. Brought the car last january, drove back from kent, fine for 2 weeks. i then changed the boot and a few other body pannels and came to start but it was only turning over and not firing, Everything else works on the car. scratched my head and decided to change aload of sensors (water, rad, lambda, map, to new but to no prevail, then swapping parts to rule out faults (solinoid, dizzy cap/rotary arm, coilpack, leads/plugs, ecu, loom) and still nothing. I decided to get a mobile mechanic in... he went over the car did a few checks on the vault meter, he said there was abit of a weak earth to the fuel pump but there was 12v going to it so it should prime but not a sound could be heard. He said get a new pump... so i did then fitted it, still nothing. I then decided to do a pump test on the new fuel pump and heard that buzzing noise i wanted to hear!! (so it wasnt the pump and i payed someone £50 to tell me it was!!) went to start the car but now theres no spark (i did take the battery off to recharge befor the mechanic came to look so this could have set the immo off but i had the problem before i took it off to charge
) so im convinced its immobilizer issues or alarm (cutting the fuel and spark).
The car is fitted with an aftermarket alarm system (louuuud) which the kid i brought it off never used, does this come with a built in immobilizer fitted? and will they have taken out or bypassed the original manufacturers immobiliser that everyone has problems with? or have i broke the curcuit in someway ie. swaping the boot or bonnet?
I phoned the lad i got it from and when i spoke to him he said he never had any issues with it and he had it a few years.
Can anyone help/advise me or tell me who can sort it out for me? im situated in the birmingham area. its realy getting to me now after 12 months of swapping and changing everything, i just wanna raaaaace lol. camed, vinier pulleys, gasflowed, superchiped, pipercross induction, uprated fuel pump, supersprint manifold and full straight through exhaust system, shortshift, 10mm core ht leads and its just sitting there teasing me
Cheers Mark
