Car not starting

Hello,

It sounds like the battery might be down on charge and may need to be replaced, here is a guide to test it.

Please let us know what happens.

Best, Ken

Often a faulty crank angle sensor, but I would do a scan first to see if this code is set in the ECU.

Car is holden adventra wagon and raqn out of fuel. Put more fuel in but wont start wondering if I hav to prime the injectors and if so how?

You ran out of gas-maybe the fuel pump burned-up-Check the fuel pressure with a gauge to rule out the fuel pump and fuel filter-start here

Are you sure that the leads are on the correct way now? As ignition timing cant be altered as it is set by the ECU Pull the spark plugs and clean them, check all vacuum hoses are still attached and do not add fuel direct into throttle body, if pump is running just check that you have injector pulse, you should be able to feel injectors clicking as they operate but I feel that you may still have a firing order problem, they should be drivers side 2, 4, 6, pass side 1, 3, 5, and the coil pack front to rear will be 6, 3, 2, 5, 4, 1, also make sure the leads are ok and not cross firing where they are bound together across the front of the motor behind the alternator.

Why was the sup off and what did you do? Injectors will keep spraying while you crank so the plugs will foul up fairly quickly, check rail pressure is ok, a failed modulator will cause flooding and just to be sure do a comp test as well, we need to know that all basics are ok.

Do a comp test I wonder if the lifters have bleed out with the use of the diesel in the oil.

Hi there,

You can get a code saver that fits into the cig lighter it uses a 9V battery and this will keep all codes and memory intact.
