Help! Car Won't Start Up!

[MANinGTR]

hi guys

had a little problem with my car this morning. i put the key in, the reds come on and everything is fine. i try to start the egine the ignition just goes on for ages so i stop and try to start it up again.

the 2nd time i try no reds come on and nothing happens.

i take the key out, try that again and the reds come on. there is fuel, the battery has got around 12V in them and so i turn on the ignition and it just goes "didididi" and the car won't start. all the meters just go to zero and the reds are gone. i try this several times and try to mess around with the car alarm but still the car won't start up.

i think it might have something to do with the alarm so i looked around the alarm manual but can't find anything that can help. i own an autowatch alarm and immobiliser.

any solutions i can try? thanks.

dude...if u try igniting with the "red" LED on...the car definitely wouldn't start..

upoon "unlocking" the car ...u;re given 1 min to ignite the car...or the immboilser will kick in

solution...press the button one more time, and see the red "LED" go off...then ignite..

hope tat helps

you havent mentioned if you check the coil packs are getting power, or if they are whether the plugs are all fowled.

once you're positive that you have fuel and spark, then worry about electrical faults.

to me it sounds like there is a wire that goes to the coil packs that is shorting on a wire that turns the car "on"

visibly check all wire connections and if you dont find anything, get the multimeter out and a wiring diagram and play "needle in the hay stack"

you can only hope its something simple.

thanks for the help guys.

i think the batteries are all gone. tried to jump start it just then and no more power is left in the battery.
