my pinny won't start
« on: Jul 26, 2004, 10:52PM »
Hi every one

I got a problem with my CA20e r31 pinny, i was driving normally last night, then last night i parked on the front lawn. Last night temperature was very cold out door, like 1 degree. When i start this morning, it fire up for a few second and died. Then it never fire again. :'(

I called the RAC to have a look.The guy couldn't start it as well and he said it got spark but weak. But he manage to pour some fuel in a small hose on the plenum, then start the engine and it run for a short time and died. After reading on some article on the forum and checked the idle up valve, fuel pump, ecu code gaves: 23, 31 and 32. It still won't start, i also check the coils, they both measure the resistance across primary and secondary.  :-\

Then i checked the timing belt still there.

Should i check if there is water in the fuel but i don't know how to. It wasn't much fuel in the tank when i parked in the front lawn. Could condensation form in the tank?

i really don't know what else i can do.  ???

I had a voltage meter hooked up to the car. Before sometime the car will stall when i turn my headlight on.And the voltage meter read strangely sometime when i indicator is on or when i brake. It always read below 12V. Could it be to do with this?

Any help will be good.

the coldness may have formed condensation in the alternator. I have heard of it happening b4 but its very rare. It cuases power surges and power drop outs.
