Gt4 Rc Import Will Not Start

[tallguy-gt4]

hi there people, im hopeing you can help me, my car will not start for a reason i dont no, i started the car on tuesday (started fine)it ran for about 1 min then just cut out like as iff i turned the ignition key off,, well 2 days later she still wont start, ive checked for the obvious, its got fuel, im getting a spark etc, but she still wont start, ive had a freind who installes alarms have a quick look at the immobilser but theres nothing wrong with that...

she turns over ok but just wont start anyone had similer probs???

[Bibbs]

so you have fuel, and you have spark (all four plugs?) .. is it coughing?, you say it's turning over, just on the starter yeah?

Does the ECU light stay on when you turn the key to IGN? .. there may be an ECU fault.

Have you checked the dizzy etc?

[tallguy-gt4]

i doesnt even try to start, just turns over,

ive checked the ecu for faults but theres no codes in its memory,

[daktari]

How fast is it turning over? Faster than normal? Have you checked the cambelt?

[dawesy]

when you say it has fuelis it getting to the fuel rail?

there is a fuel pump resistor that has been known to fail

i doesnt even try to start, just turns over,

ive checked the ecu for faults but theres no codes in its memory,

the car was runnning faster but ive setup the throttle senosr, she was running fine before she just died..

yes theres fuel getting to the rail.. id checked that

cambelt is fine?

how can i check the fuel pump resistor?

how can i check the fuel pump resistor?

it lives under the Battery tray. Two finned blocks. Can`t remember which is the fuel pump one. But it`ll be warm if it`s working. But if you`ve got presurized fuel at the rail it should be ok.

Just a random thought... You haven`t had a hose pop off anywhere?

[tallguy-gt4]

hi there daktari hows you m8?

can beleive the agro im having with me car, i cant belive it just died, i wansent even near it when it cut off, ive tested the spark with a strobe light tester and im getting a strobe on each ht lead so the dizzy is ok , theres fuel getting to the rail ok,

ive checked all hoses that i can see, all seem to be ok ,

Might be worth doing an ECU reset, Probably wont achieve anything but no harm trying. Just disconnect the Battery or remove the EFI fuse from the fuse box for a few minutes. Press the brake pedal to get rid of any stored charge in the electrical system then reconnect it. Fingers crossed.

ok just tried that that but no joy. :(

OK. Have you checked the ignition timing? Is it possible it could have slipped?

Hi Tall Guy,

did you get your GT4 started in the end, it sounds like my GT4 has the same problem.

it has a spark at all the plugs, fuel pressure at the rail and the timing is correct!

please let me know what it was if you got to the bottom of it, car is doing my head in!.

hi m8 yea i got her started in the end but i havent a clue what happernd.

iwas getting saprk fuel etc but nothing happernd,

any ways all that i dont is that i took all the plugs out took off the starter pack and ingiter pack checked all connections got the hump with the car and left it for a day then had another go to get it running, put everything back togethter and it started 1st time,

so havent a clue really what it was but the only thing i could think of is that a guy i spoke to ages ago said that some times the ecu goes a bit mentle and over fuelled the car and it flooded. so by leaving all the plugs out might have dried up all the excess fuel and moisture from the engine,,

give that a go m8, take off the intercooler aswell and check all air connections/ boost pipes/ starter pack cables,ingiter etc thing back together reset the ecu by discconting the Battery for 30 secs press the brake pedal to discharge any static<<<(someone told me about that) reconnect Battery and try and start it m8,

let me know m8
