still canking not starting, no codes on dashboard.
 
Hi all The alarm is disabled in the BeCM. But I will unplug the sounder.
I managed to start removing the upper air intake over the weekend. I want to check the wiring at the back of the engine and under the intake for damage. Just to rule it out. Also have ordered a new crank position sensor as need to rule that out. Waiting to complete wiring check and part arrival. Will report progress later.
 
Hi all, part has arrived not fitted yet as only just got the air intake off today.look what I found. Two wires on the plug to the right coil pack melted and connected. Guess found out why I have no spark.

When overheat happened and after cooling and restart engine ran rough. Then suddenly cut out would not restart, fault codes found showed misfires in various cylinders. Faults cleared at roadside in a hope that would get the car started. It didn't later found had no spark, no power to coil packs. The wires on this plug were twisted together copper showing on both. White and green, and white wires. As said before coil packs positioned behind battery, ran 2000 miles since moving coil packs.

Car just died. No noise and gave gearbox issue. After researching, I ordered two new batteries as the other ones were dead. Now cranks but no start.
