Hi Guys,
I'm meant to be hitting the track the next 2 days but I went to start my car yesterday and it won't hold. It's a 1998 C2.
It feels like it fires, taco jumps to 1000 them it just dies straight away.
It did this consistently.
Prior to this I washed the car, drove it 5 meters back into the garage, and then I pulled rear carpets and seats out. No signs of any issues.
About 800 kms ago the ecu was removed and it was tuned (It's a 1998 so they said they couldn't tune it via OBD). Has done 800kms with no issues since the tune.
We have removed harness bar and cover plates and checked all rear ecu plugs
Removed passenger seat and checked security ecu plugs and fuse
Turned fuel pump on and it still squirts fuel up the back
Checked all fuses
Scanned codes - there are no current codes coming up. There was a stored security code - possibly from when ecu was removed to tune the car.
Dash turns on as normal, no other signs of any issues
Put a new ignition switch in
Hooked a new battery up to mine as mine was dying after trying a few different things
My mechanic reckons compression sounds fine, we are going to check that today.
When we have it plugged in was can see that the the start enable switch setting within the ecu isn't opening.
I cannot find anything on the 'start enable switch' on google, being that it's not a actual switch that you can replace.
Does anyone else have any ideas on what it could be?
Am i right to rule out security ecu, since it allows the starter motor to turn the engine?
Same theory on the clutch switch?
Anything else that it could be?
Thanks in advance!
Haydn
