Hi Guys,

For the last few days the car was running very rough with the exhaust gas light flickering, the car was almost misfiring. Now it wont start up at all. I am not sure how to put the car into diagnostic mode, if anyone would be so kind and advise how to do this?

Secondly, I cannot see the red led light up in the ecu, could the ecu be dead?

Many thanks.

Google how to put into diagnostic mode. Or get a mate with a consult plug.

Theres a very good chance ur spark plugs are really fouled which will cause no start.

Check and replace the spark plugs then u can diagnose. It may just be a popped intercooler pipe, bad afm etc

Check your basic's, air/fuel/spark. Be good to check your plugs first as stated above. Make sure they arent fouled. If they are looking pretty good, id start looking into the fuel side of things. Maybe check fuel pressure and your cam sensor.

Hope that helps!

Plugs are fine- is there fuel on them after cranking or are they dry? Could be no fuel ie possible fuel pump failure etc.

Check there is sufficient flow and oressure in the fuel line. Make sure filter isnt blocked.

Check ALL fuses while ur at it

With ignition on does your engine light illuminate?, If not then sounds like your ECU has no power.

If all good remove CAS and spin it with your hands, re-check spark and put your hand over the injectors and see if you can feel them pulsing(clicking).

"Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
