Car Wont Start

[HKS-R33]

hey guys, ive been trying to get my car started for the past 2 days and still no go. first i thought it was the battery because it was dead and after i had charged it, it wouldnt take any load. i then changed the battery and still the same prob.

anyone ever had a problem like this before. to me it seems like its electrical because its firing but kinda sounds like something is cutting it off as it starts.

Thanks, Mike.

so does it turn over? and if so, for how long?

could possibly be the starter motor is cactus.

Locate the thing and give it a tap with a hammer, not to hard though then try starting it.

the car cranks over and fires but wont keep running

do you have an alarm?

[HKS-R33]

yeh i do

[mad082]

so the car starts for a second?

could be a fuel pump, ignition, alarm/imobiliser (if you have 1), and various others.

Does a fuel pump have a fuse?Did you check for petrol?

Sound like an electrical short ...check coils and plugs.

Then check if you can hear your fuel pump working.

Also sounds like a blown fuse...check your fuses.

ok, my fuel pump is priming, ive checked the fuses in the car but not the ones in the boot. how can i check if my immobiliser is disabled?

[warpz0r]

your immobiliser should have the fuel pump incorporated into it...

if you have fuel, spark, and it stutters... maybe your cas is gone

Could be no vacuum in the aac valve, at the back of the plenum near the bulkhead

if it sticks open it can cause a vacuum leak at low revs and cause a stall, or it could stop it from starting at all.

failing that, disconnect the AFM and then start it up with half throttle. If that works, you have a dead AFM.

Turn it off afterwards, cause you shouldn't run it for long like that.

Hey mate, are you saying that my aac valve could be stuffed or something in my plenum?

It normally just needs a clean if it's stuck open, or if its a split in one of the hoses, then that hose needs to be replaced.

Heres a DIY from these forums

Normally this wouldn't cause your car to not start unless there was consistently no vacuum, however I recently had some issues with Idle hunting and occasionally the car firing but not starting, and this seemed to solve my problems.
