[Dean]

right, my 16v never gets driven, at the time being but i startit regular

i got lots of mechanical work done on the cars a few weeks back, all was fine ran real sweet

then the battry went dead, new battry, so i charged it back up, re fits it then goes to start the car, it starts but goes straigh off again

keeps doing the same, i cant get it 2 run, i dont want to flood the engine but what us the problem how has this occured from must recharging a battry

 

[Daz]

When my battery went MEGA low.. when it all got connected up again, it idled at 3000 - 4000 RPM..

Took the negative side of the battery off... waited 5 seconds, put it back on - perfect.

Something to try! Mine aint a Valver, tho..

 

[Dean]

mine doesnt tick over, it starts and dies straigh away

the battry is fine now

 

[Daz]

Yea, but it could still work.. Did you try it?

 

[Dean]

[Daz]

You got any fuel in the thing? Heh.

 

[Daz]

In the back of the Haynes it tells you some problems and what causes them.. have a look in there? Then you can find the section in the Haynes where it tells you have to replace bits etc..

Haynes is outside.. big.. trek.. to.. get.. it for me.. hehe.

M8 - if it appears to fire up and stops check the basics...

Unlikely to be sparking / battery if it kicks over...

Id start with Fuel or breathing probs...

p.s. I know nuuuuthing - better speak to BenR - but it sounded good...

 

[chris_m182]

[Daz]
