Moving goal-posts. We'll never get to retire.
Stop rubbing it in Alan ive got about 20 years still working before i retire
Well I went to use him last night and he started AGAIN first turn of the key!
That's pretty much never happened in the 10 years I've had him (or the 5 years my Dad had him before that!).
I really am beginning to think my house phones were causing the RF receiver to kick in and drain him. Especially as Moz told me to check if the red light on the gear selector went out within 5 minutes - and now it does. Akthough I am not sure if it comes back on during the evening as it's been wet and cold out so I haven't checked.
Haha - up until the last 'good start' I would have been tempted to stop it dying!
Cool Mozz. Will have a look over the weekend as allegedly the sun is going to be out!
Lol... And.... It's rained!
Braved it and washed the old guy with some nice wash'n'wax, and even cleaned all the interior glass, plus washed dash down! Looks like a new car inside now... I however look like a drowned rat!
This 1515 code confuses the hell out of me.
The only time this code will work if it has, by default, been programmed into the becm.
Can anyone help?
This discussion might cure my non start problem. I've searched on non starts and got nothing. Using Tapatalk!
Hi all, help please,<br />
<br />
Fitted a replacement V8, got it Mot'd when it started to miss fire, then drove it home 6 miles when it died under load, testing the kickdown and had to tow it the last few miles.<br />
<br />
Now it cranks and won't start. Got fuel, got spark although weak, changed the following with identical results:<br />
<br />
Stepper motor, airflow meter, coil pack.<br />
<br />
Plugs are platinum tipped and drowned in fuel. Fuel sports or of valve. There's no air restriction and even tried a hair dryer on hot into the intake, to no avail.<br />
<br />
Things it might be?:<br />
<br />
Low fuel pressure.<br />
Crank sensor<br />
BECM out of sync with ECM?<br />
CAM sensor.<br />
I don't know any secret fixes or anything. Only bought it recently.
Before refitting the engine, swopped cam and crank sensors when the engine was out and was meticulous.<br />
<br />
All electrical items are from the original engine, including injectors and rail, which started and ran OK apart from cylinder head problems.<br />
<br />
Any help would be appreciated. I don't want to call the AA.<br />
<br />
I live in Nantwich, Cheshire.<br/>
