found my problem and it does kill the engine completely, check the relays behind the battery, the 5 connector one that is at 87a when static/ign off was stuffed in mine as soon as I changed it after many days of wanting to blow up gmh it fired up and ran sweet as a a cream donut. If I can suggest any other things I did email me, [email protected]

go out and pull ur motor out, start it and then put it back in....

you guys may have solved your problem but you wont be able to help him, his head gasket blew but i love how all the solutions were electrical anyway. :flame:

jus had my box out to change the cluth over, now all back in but wont turn over...jus that little click sound that drives you f*ckin insane... anyone experienced similar, any ideas would be apprieciated... had bout five weeks out at work to think it over in my head an jus been goin stoopid tryna think of possible causes o my current prob...

for the rest, all i can say is that if youve been playin with plugs in the electrical system, or suspect you have an electrical prob run the self-diagnostic on the comp first... can save you a sh*t-load o heartache playin with connections an that, jus to find out you can determine the problem straight up... id give this a go before buyin another computer cos it wont cost you anything for a start.
that'll be the first thing on my list when i get home anyways, always worth seein what it says i figure, then takin it from there...

Also a mate o mine was sayin that after takin the box out can have a prob with the starter motor not lining back up properly an havin to push start the car? anyone know what the hell he's on about? i dunno...

cheers all
