MY vt will not start HELP?

[jaron88]

Hi, well lets start ive had the car for about 2 yrs now and it started perfectly, then it was due in for a service so i took it in,after recieving the car it was starting fine still, THEN i find out my vt doesnt want to kick over at all, i like turn the key over and it wants to kick over but its like theres no response to the start, i do this like 20 times and it finally starts....lol what could be the problem as i canged the Leads new spark plugs new crank angle sensor and the whole coil pack , and it still having the same problem?? ive did the whole code thing with a paper clip and these are the codes that have come up 46,67,81,82,92 ive looked in my vt manual book and downloaded the list of error faults, but some of these codes arnt in the book at all, any1 have a clue of what it could be???

apart from the error codes i had the same problem with my executive a while ago, owned it for almost 2 years moved from queensland to south aus and then one day the engine died and wouldn't start, called RAA and it turned out to be the plug going into the front of the coil pack, apparently it is a common vt fault, with consistant engine movement (revs and so on) it can bend some of the recievers away from the pins on the coil pack and no longer gets the proper current running through it, have a try at gently (GENTLY) bending these back in and see how ya go

dont hold me to this being the same as your problem but it fixed mine once and for all

[jaron88]

ive checked the connection when i put in the whole coil pack ay, nothing is bent, my vt does start but rarely so there is a current going through the car.....ill have another look??
thanks for ya time neway mate

[NVMYVT]

no problem mate, hope you get it sorted soon

[kniever]

might be the key?

[jaron88]

How much will a mechanic charge just to look at the car, and find the problem?? $$$ or $$$$

Jaron.. is your VT A manual or Auto? if Auto could be you inhibitor switch in g/box

[jaron88]

My vt is an auto, ill have to check that out 2?

[luvmycommodores]

giglle your gear shift up and down whilst in park and turn your ignition

[jaron88]

Still wont start anyway ay.....lol cars being GAY,

[luvmycommodores]

when you you say it wont start do you mean it cranks over and doesnt start or doesnt crank over at all...?

[jaron88]

it cranks over, but wont idle......its so fustrating

[NVMYVT]

start with basics, do you have power? if no check battery terminals, voltage possability of a shot alternator or battery harness
does anything happen when you turn the key? nothing? not enough battery power, ignition problems and a few others
clicking noise in the engine bay? low battery voltage, poor condition of starter relay or starter
rolling over but no ignition point? fuel dellivery, sensors (Air, fuel, exhaust) spark (coil pack, ignition leads, spark plugs (gunked up, cracked)

[NVMYVT]

sorry got in too late, ignore most of my last post

[jaron88]

cranks over but doesnt start..

[NVMYVT]

start checking leads, plugs and the all new parts, as it is possable to get dud parts (not a fault of the manufacturer but not every item is tested it's to time consuming and costs way to much)

[jaron88]

i was thinking it could be fuel ay, it starts sometimes, for example i would park my car at the shops and leave it there for like 30mins, come back to start it and it will play up, like id turn the key over to crank it, NOTHING, keep doing this over and over then it will finally start....

[luvmycommodores]

can you hear the fuel pump kick in?

[jaron88]

ill go over all the parts again tomorrow, but they are all brand new, if ne are faulty id go off at the ppl at super cheap for selling me duds.....lol

[jaron88]

yeah fuel pump is fine, it makes like a humming noise doesnt it just b4 you start the car....lol, could it be an ECU valve blocked??

[rumbldore]

i had a simular problem i had to replace my fule pump and clean my injectors and lines

[drift-it]

try priming the fuel pump 2 or 3 times before u start it... just turn the key to ON (not start) and then start it on the 4th turn.

[jaron88]

today ill buy some fuel solution and some injector cleaner, and see how she goes....thanks guys for ya time ay much appreciated : )

[jaron88]

finally got the car started, put some fuel cleaner in the car and drove around for a bit, got home turned car off waited bout 30mins, it decides not to start again, battery has died just trying to start the car....grrr this is fustrating..lol

[jaron88]

also went to the machanic and he is going to charge me $75 an hour, is this good or its a rip off!!
