Here's a little story, its sad but true.
I NEED HELP!
The bottom bolt came off my alternator last night, so this morning I took the alternator off altogether to check what length bolt I needed. After finding that the only bolts I had were a fraction too short, I refitted the alternator using the shorter bottom bolt just to hold it in place so I could drive to the car spares to get the right sized bolt.
Started the car up just to make sure the belt wasnt slipping too much and revved it. Engine did just what you expect, then stopped and wouldnt start.
Tried cranking it - Nothing
Then I noticed I couldnt hear the fuel pump whirring when I turned the ignition on. So i tried it without the fuel line connected - Still nothing.
Checked all the fuses and they seem fine, even tried the inertia fuel cut off switch - Still nothing!
Does anyone have a clue whats going on??
On the off chance its an ecu issue, I've disconnected the battery for a couple of hours to see if that'll solve it.
