My Stagea wont start

I put new speakers in the rear doors today. Started it up and drove it into the garage.

Went to drive it an hour later, turns over but no start.

Can hear fuel pump and all fuses light up with test light.

Will go check the spark now.

Any other ideas??

what happens when you turn the key?

does it crank but not start?

does it just tick?

do the headlights and radio work?

when accessories are on (reds on the dash) and you turn the key once more to start, do they dim or stay on?

have you tried starting in Neutral instead of park?

Any luck?

Did you disconnect an earth by any chance.

My old car had a loose batt terminal it would crank but not start untill the terminal was hell tight (damn rotories)

so I would check that

good idea, happens to the forklift at work, terminals dont touch properly, gotta give them a wiggle, and when its been used they must slightly move a bit... you would think we would have got a shifter out nad fixed it ay...

also you might wanna get a steel brushed and give them a little rub with that before putting the terminals on properly.

    • Johnny is sad now... Because you didn't get Bosch Motorsport ABS.  
    • Hey keep the ideas coming, I'm always keen on projects! But, problem fixed!  I got a cheapie ozito scope from Bunnings and had a good look in and around the bearing and sensor hole. I couldn't see a smoking gun but the bearing looked a bit strange, especially when comparing with a new one. I thought the cover had come off the bearing magnets.  Sorry for pics of a screen, I didn't have an SD card.     Good thing I had the old one to inspect. So, given I'm like a pit crew with wheel bearings and luckily I had a spare bearing because I f**ked up my parts order, I decided to just smash it out. Got the old one out in about an hour. So much easier when the parts haven't had a chance to rust together yet. 😂 And, well, found the problem.    In the second pic at about the 8 o'clock position, you'll see what I think is the tip of the old sensor.  The new sensor has definitely been rubbing but it's all intact, just a little shiny so I'm hoping it's fine.  The car brakes perfectly now and no errors.  I think the job took about 2.5h in the end. 👍🏻 I really appreciate the help in here as usual. Thanks guys.
    • I was only looking because I saw some drops on the ground but it wasn't alot. Recently had it serviced will ask the mech to confirm. Find it strange that it looks standard though, can see in another photo of a random box 
    • So...not sure if you know if that has always been there or why you went looking. It could be old damage from a clutch explosion, or even just the gearbox got dropped somewhere along the line. Basically, you should seal it up to stop oil and dust getting into the bellhousing, but it doesn't matter too much and is not structural. I'd suggest something like a glob of JB Weld. BTW what gearbox oil are you running, I would guess the breather has been spewing it everywhere.
    • Hey Duncan thanks for your reply. Sorry mate I know the photos are shit.  Took another photo for reference. Seems the casing does have a hole in it looking on the net, fluid seeping out. Added a photo
