hi all,

on the weekends, which most of you may know living in NSW it was very very windy and rainy. what made things worse is that after work at about 11pm my car wouldnt start up. things which i had already checked is the battery, air lines, afm and fuses. wouldnt think it is the spark plugs as they were only changed not long ago.

basically the car keeps on kicking over. also checked sensor and was connected. anyone has any other suggestions??

things i think are maybe the fuel pump or fuel relay but not too sure...

Hey,

Check all you fuses, under the dash and in the engine bay, replace all that are blown.

Check for fuel, pressure and injector pulse, should smell fuelly after cranking for a little while.

Check battery voltage is high enough, should be if it is cranking fastly, if slowly, charge your battery.

Check for spark at all of the spark plugs.

Make sure any immobilisers are disarming.

Further than this you will really need a workshop.

Did you check if you had petrol..lol.

Could be your pump...is there any noise coming from it when you switch the ignition to before crank?

good luck...

yea when its switched to on it makes like a bit of a whirling noise. there is a full tank

sometimes the noise disappears but when i put throttle down to like 20% it comes back on but only when it is at 20% and nothing else...if that made any sense lol

When you checked your AFM... how did you check it?

Quick test is to unplug it, then try to start it with about 50% throttle. If it catches but barely runs then you have the old "dead AFM for no apparent reason" problem.

A mate had this, but when I hooked up Consult to it, it said that the AFM was reading voltage. No errors or anything. Weird!

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
