Rev4 Turbo wont start

Post by willfinch36 »

It turns over and runs for about 2 seconds then cuts out.

Fuses all OK, all ignition components are fairly new.

Any ideas?
Thanks,

Have you run a diagnostics code yet? Purely from memory so check on-line I think it's pins TE and E1 then count the flashes and yahoo the code.

Do you have an immobiliser fitted to the car? What make and model. Might seem strange but on some models they won't work within proximity of police / fire stations if you're out? It seems like a fuel issue?

No alarm & no error codes!

I had this problem the other day, then suddenly it was totally fine again.
But back to not starting now!

Try and wiggle the ecu wires, it sounds like the circuit opening relay connection
