Car Won't Start :s:s

[aussietroy]

OK so i got a new tacho for xmas and i got excited and wanted to put it in straight away ...

i desided to disconnect the wire plugs that go in the light switch etc on the dash to connect the wire for the light on the tacho.

I then found out that i had no solder so i didnt touch any wires and put it all back together

Now my engine wont start ... the starter and fuel pump are going .... just no spark

i have a feeling my immobiliser may have been connected to some wires behind the dash and because i didnt disconnect my battery its engaged

my doors unlock and lock and the alarm led turns off but the car still wont work ...

Any ideas on how to fix it ??

cheers

don't install the tacho. unless the stock one doesnt work, they are a pile of wank.

Thats exactly why im installing haha sits on 3000rpm even when off

get a new cluster?

whilst I agree with the above comments...

did you get anywhere near the immobiliser. did you undo any bolts that *MAY* have had a terminal on them. (IE ground for the immobiliser) viper and the ilk will lock/unlock doors without an earth attached and yeils a similar effect on the car.

start there as I figure its a wire off somewhere.

I would get a new cluster if i didnt have the white dials in my current one. too much messing around to get a new one and put them on it so i mose well just put in an external tacho.

Anyways woke up this morning to find my battery flat

Checked all wires and all are connected and all fuses but no luck

Had NRMA come out and have a look at it (free service for under 18's) and he said its the alarm/ imobiliser itself so ive desided that i best get it towed to mastertint tomorrow to get them to have a look
