Starting Problem

[hanyou]

hey guys posting on behalf of a mate.. his got a 89 r32 gtst.

now his car was working all fine, turned off his car went inside his house for liek 3 minutes then came back out and it wouldnt start, it cranks but wont turn over.. soo we've jump started it.. it worked straight away.. then it kinda jus died by itself and turned off.. tried to turn it on again it jus cranked then 2nd time turned on but once again turned off after about 30sec. we tried jump starting it again but no luck

ive tried my battery in his car (through jumper leads) and his battery in mine.. his one jus doesnt seem to be turning on?.

any ideas?

i wouldve thought he jus needed a new battery all together. his fuel system is all working and ive checked spark plugs/coil packs & afm already.

thanks

His battery works in your car... yeah???

Alarm system????

Could be the immobiliser has gone haywire... earthing out etc

or alternator/starter.... possible wierd vac leaks although should start then die with leaks????

so should i jus try disconnecting/unplugging the alarm all together?.

that would depend on the alarm, im sure they would not be considered value for money if simply unplugging them allowed the car to start

bwhahah tru true.. its a black widow alarm

sounds likea fueling issue, try starting it after spraying rp7 or carbie cleaner into the throttle, if its starts again then dies as normal, then you can assume its fuel

so try a new fule filter first, prim the car with the fuel feed hose disconnected and flowing into a bucket or sumnthing, crank it with it all connected and confirm fuel returning to the tank

- in regards to teh alarm, only way you could bypass would be to completely remove it from the loom
