    Angry Car won't start after being repaired!

    Hi all,

    My SC VX has been repaired after an accident where they had to take the engine out to repair the damage. Now they can't get the car to start. It has a Kalmaker tune and I did the anti-theft reset (key on for one minute, key off for one minute etc) and have checked all the electrical conections but still no go. Sometimes the engine sounds like it's about to fire but ends with nothing. Fuel is being delivered and spark is being produced. The ECU in diagnostic mode brings up a 12 which is normal. Any ideas?

    Thanks in advance.

    I once had simular problem. It'd crank but wouldnt fire.. It turned out to be the 'engine' fuse.. Though when I turned the key to first start it.. fuel pump wouldnt prime..
    Check your fuses?

    I push the pedal to the floor, smoke them up and go.

    It was a reply from the post before yours. Fuses are important for a crank angle sensor too.
