Car is now Dead

[Leo182]

Hi lads, last resort you boys!

Not happy, thought it would be a piece of pish and away I go.

Here goes.

I have changed a broken injector - car ran fine before this, made sure they are all seated correctly etc connected the fuel rail back up and the bloody thing won't start up

I've tried jump starting it as the battery isnt great but hasnt let me down in the past just to make sure its not a battery issue.

Fault codes are these

Seem to all be injection related.

Have you broken a wire anywhere?

Nope not that I can see Pal, very frustrating.

I am really struggling with this

Here's me thinking I'll just replace the snapped injector and done, oh no.

One thing I did notice was the broken Injector when I took it off sparked when I touched a bit of metal, related to my issues perhaps?

Really haven't a clue fuse/relay/battery??

I am charging the battery overnight but it didn't start when I tried jumps starting it.

 

[JamesBryan]

God knows.

Shouldn't spark on you though...

 

[Louis]

What did it do when you tried to fire it up?

 

[Daz...]

Possibly blown a fuse when it sparked, have you checked them all?

I know, I though WTF was that!

What did it do when you tried to fire it up?

It just chugged and chugged then basically gave up.

I am thinking this myself Daz as the spark was odd.

The problem is not sure which fuse it would effect, I have changed one 15amp in the engine bay as I had a spare knocking about, battery is on charge so will try again tomorrow.

What's the immob doing?

 

[Leo182]

What's the immob doing?

What do you mean Louis? sorry lost me there!

 

[Louis]

The immobiliser light when you try fire it up, is it solid or does it go off?

Goes off Louis.

 

[Leo182]

Ok, before I call the RAC out is there anything I can try? Bearing in mind the car was running ok before I replaced the injector it wouldnt be the crank sensor would it?

What/where is the fuse for the injectors?

I'll quit after I've tried this!

 

[Leo182]

Praise the lord, car is alive

Thanks lads for the help.

Now If only the airbag light would disappear... we'll save that one for another time!

 

[Louis]

Was it the immobiliser

What was it?

As i mentioned in your other thread, i can look at the airbag light for you if needed.

Nope that was fine.

What was it?

As i mentioned in your other thread, i can look at the airbag light for you if needed.

I think it was a fuse - I changed a 15 and 30 over, I also charged the battery overnight and used a bit of contact cleaner on things so whatever I did amongst that lot sorted it.

It was a great moment when it burst into life I can tell you! efforts were not in vain.

I've not got around to the airbag properly yet Pal, light is intermittent but going to sort some resistors and see how I get on with that, 99.9% certain it's the wiring under the seats.
