none start
- Thread starter delboy37
- Start date
The wiring loom,relays and connectors can be troublesome on the 3.2 Carrera so that's one to check.Leads,cap etc are all consumables.Make sure the ecu has not got wet also.My initial thought was faulty fuel pump when you spoke about the none start but if you say it is not sparking?
If you get fed up I am looking for a project to buy,seriously.

HI, and welcome.
Change the DME relay under the passenger seat.
Change this anyway.
Theyre only £20, and when they fail, there's nothing you can do except replace it.
Start the car, and let it fail.
Now.
Is there a spark?
Is the fuel?
Get over to www.impactbumpers.com
Tell then stuttgartmetal sent you.
Its nice over there.
