Car wont start!
- Thread starter antonio
- Start date
Not really i'm afraid , that fault code to me would refer to the post cat lambda sensor on bank one seeing a rich mixture.
In other words your Cat is not working very well on that bank .
Does the car spin over but not fire up ?
does it cough and splutter but not fire up ?
An important question .. do you have a vts fitted .. do you have any black fobs that came with the car ?
If this has gone faulty the car wont spin over .
again a clutch switch fault and the car wont spin over .. if you hold the key in the start position for 5 seconds you will get a message saying depress clutch .. this will say if its that ..
bit more info please

Ok .. we have a fault and the car doesn't see anything being wrong ..
That to me would indicate 1 of 2 possible faults ..
The fuel pump or lack of fuel due to it being empty shall we say will not generate a fault code .. the car has no way of monitoring this .
Only check is .. look in the tank or add 5 litres of fuel to make sure it's not a faulty fuel gauge and after that a pressure gauge on the fuel rail to confirm its got no pressure .
Second is the Crank Position Sensor .. only check is to scope the signal im afraid.
Your fault code , although not related could be in a roundabout way ... very low fuel pressure might .. and i mean .. just might generate this code .. fuel pump or lack of fuel is where i'm at with this though .
lets face it .. i don't have a lot to go on .. i cant see the car so i've done what i can !
Can i just confirm though .. you drove the car home , left it overnight and then this happened ? it wasn't jump started , put on charge .. left for a couple of years or anything like that ?

Sorry i can't give you a quick fix .. there are many things i would check if i had the car but from the info im leaning towards a fuel pump problem.
Hopefully its not too expensive when your Indy finds the fault and as always i would appreciate knowing what the fault turns out to be ... i learn every day on here which is a help in doing my job .
