Car Won't Start!

[Manuel Kasko]

Trying to source a compression tester for tonight

[Manuel Kasko]

Page 6 oh shit lol

[StinkyPoo]

Didn't read the entire thread.

Where are you located? I have S1 parts.

[Manuel Kasko]

Located in Red Hill

I would love a series 1 igniter module

It's the one that sits on top of the cam cover

[Duncan]

This thread is so popular they will probably commit to Season 2.

Stinkypoo, I think swapping a few bits is the quickest way to work this one out

[Trozzle]

My bet's something to do with the ignitor. Failing that, AFM. Failing THAT....fark lol, could be anything from there since Dan hasn't fiddled with anything else prior to it dying

Maybe it's all Dan. He just doesn't know how to turn the key properly. CLOCKWISE BRO!!!

f**king noob man, noob

[D.I.Y. Mik]

$20 its a hose

anyone?

[Duncan]

I'd stay away from a $20 ho.

[Trozzle]

Would have to be a fuel hose > no fuel, otherwise the thing would at least cough and splutter if not run half-arsed I'd think

EDIT: been burnt in the past have we Dunc?

[Manuel Kasko]

Haha this has already been approved for season two! Hopefully it's a blown fuse or something stupid.

Will the ECU talk thing pick up on a broken igniter?

[D.I.Y. Mik]

Just seems to fit my limited experience.

My car is a real piece of sht so the experience is interesting.

[Duncan]

ECU talk may show if a sensor like CAS, TPS or AFM is showing abnormal readings, or no reading at all

Switching parts is a better option if you can because it rules out everything with your part (that may not always be obvious just from the sensor reading)

[StinkyPoo]

Send me a PM with your number. I can drop by after work one day, or on the weekend. Easier to diagnose in person.

I really hope we sort this Quickly, Soooo Damn Cold outside right now.

Stock ECU might be worth a try...

[Manuel Kasko]

So ECU didn't show any faults at all.

Ignitor pack does have a small crack in it so I really want to test another one.

We tried to jump start it and got nothing.

Going to go pick up the compression tester off Verms now

[Got a Pulsar]

ECUtalk - Code 55 (all Good)

Battery voltage 10.6 V, 11.7 V with jumper leads. Jumpstart No Go.

Vapour from exhaust when Cranking.

Disconnected and reconnected the ECU.

Checked All Fuses.

Start ya Bastard sprayed into the Plenum, No Bang.

Strongly Suspect the Igniter. or Coil Loom (abit Crispy) but mostly igniter.

First turn of the key it fired ONCE but would not catch...

[Manuel Kasko]

GAME OVER

Well thank you everyone for the help.

But the comp test confirmed my biggest fear.

Cyl 1 = 90

Cyl 2 = 25

Cyl 3 = 70

Cyl 4 = 90

Cyl 5 = 60

Cyl 6 = 70

[Got a Pulsar]

No Way. Can't be right.

I was gonna say, I just checked my Battery and it is 12.61 V. But...

No way.

[Pattey21]

vct solanoid? also was you foot flat on compression test?

[Manuel Kasko]

Tested less than a month ago and I had 150-160 across all six.

Not sure how or what happened but as you said for an engine you need

Fuel --> Spark ---> Compression

I'm lacking one of them haha
