Please help.....I have a VXR that is point blank refusing to start. I have a fully charged battery (13.2) and have all the lights on in the dash.....push the starter button and she'll turn over but will not start? Tried all the relays, all fuses, reset fuel pump switch, checked the fuel valve on the inlet manifold and there is fuel there? Had coil pack out and totally dry? Even put a new coil pack in and still she won't start. Can anyone let me know if there is anything else I've missed?

might be worth checking for any ECU codes

immobiliser Maybe?

[Bigal1975]

I've not checked the Ecu codes as don't have the tool but have ordered one! With the immobiliser I've tried both keys but still not? What should I try to disable this?

Does the EML light up when you turn the ignition on?

Is the rear boot wet under the carpet/foam?

[speedster]

Petrol cut off... Did you check if it needs a reset?

[siztenboots]

when you turn key from ign1 to ign2 , can you hear the throttle body make its clack clack noise? can you hear the fuel pump running? have a look at this thread , posts 55 and 56 http://www.vx220.org...nt-start/page-3

I've tried the fuel cut off reset button and still nothing. I can't say I get the clack clack noise when turning? Once I try and turn her over I here a constant whir from the front? Rear boot is bone dry? I get the 3 usual lights left when the rest all go out?

Check the relays/ fuses in the boot. Fuel pump fuse was he culprit when mine wouldn't start.

[Bigal1975]

I've checked all the fuses me relays in the front boot?

That.  Mine were soaking and shorting out/melting, hence the dry boot question.

Thank you again guys - Put the meter on and showing that the fuel pump relay has blown! Next problem is figuring out which one that is!

 

See photo - http://s1380.photobu...ail_share_media

 

Again it seems that someone has had this problem before - If anyone knows which of these will make my life a lot easier!

I think that all three of those grey relays are the same Bosch part number, as are the one in the front relay box under the bonnet. Double-check, but if they are, you can swap them around and verify which one is faulty

Thanks Rhoran

 

I've tried one of the relays front the front and it's still not working   I am beginning to think that it's maybe the Lotus Start Inhibit Module!

I noticed yesterday mine is wet there... Any ideas where the water/moisture comes from?
