Non Starting 3,2 Omega
« on: 07 October 2016, 12:00:32 »
Hi Guys,  Any ideas please, I stopped the car to drop of an item, gone for about two minutes, came back tried to start the car and nothing. The dash lights up and goes out as normal, nothing happens when key is turned, no starter solenoid click. Please help if you can

So when you turn the key all the way, nothing happens?
Or there is clicking sound from from the engine bay?

Batery low capacity?
Starter motor jammed?

there is a clicking sound from engine bay, seems to be from throttle body.

Start with easy -> empty/low battery. Try jump starting.
Clicking, if we are talking about the same, is form starter motor.

Can you try the pedal trick to read if there are any codes.

OK then.
Let's see about the clicking -> disconnec the TB if it seems it comes from there.
Also, check if the clicking is coming from the fuse/relay box in the engine bay.

Preferably in the dark. Turn on the ignition to on (but not start) so the dash lights up. Turn on the headlights and have an assistant try and crank the engine

When they do so, watch the headlights, do they dim?

Are you thinking the battery is not kicking out enough amps? I Have had a jump pack on it and it made no difference.

Switch ign. on. Unplug engine ECU, plug back in then try starting it
