    Default The Calais wont start..

    Okay so she hasn't been started in a while but the batteries fine, I got dad to charge it for me when I was at work. When I last tried to cranked but it was half arsed like she wasn't even trying.. any suggestions? I have the climate control unit and head unit out at the moment? if that means anything also I am leaning towards the ecu because I think dad tyred to jump it straight off the battery, any help is appreciated.

    hey
    yeah you can blow up the ecu, if you jump start it backwards. try leaving the charger on it still, until it is full or been on the at least over a day just in case it is really Flatt also get voltage of battery.

    is it making any noises at all like click click click, or nearly starting or.. dash lights come up?, can you hear the fuel pump?
