VL Wont Start

[Blueylj]

Hey guys

Wondering if anyone could help, just bought an 86 VL commy, Had it running while i had the hood up and it was running perfect, then the engine just stopped out of nowhere and hasnt started since. Fuel pump works fine, and i have checked all relays and fuses and they are all fine as well. Has spark, It will wind over but just wont fire.

Plase help Thanks

Got petrol? if battery hasn't got enough charge it won't start. an engine needs 3 things to start: air, fuel and spark

how strong is the spark? check all connections

Yer Mate, has about $15 petrol in it, Air is fine, and has excellent spark, the guy i bought it off yesterday ran it completely outta fuel, and from reading a few other forums it looks like it might be it, took a few hours to get it going yesterday. once it was going it was running perfect until today when it just conked out.

If he ran it dry then its could have sucked up a bit of crap inside the tank meaning the fuel filter could be blocked.

pull your passenger side kick panel off, turn the key on and see if the leds on the ecu are flashing if not, then your not getting power to the ecu. if they are flashing could possibly be your CAS

Try wriggling the wires at the plug that goes into the CAS They have been known to break the wires and will sometimes start if you wriggle them. You can buy new plugs to solder your wires into if this is the problem.

In saying that you can get a CAS with a plug kit to fix this problem
