2000 model 93 convertible wont start Posted by Keith [Email] (#1462) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Keith) on Thu, 8 Apr 2010 14:09:54 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Dear all,
I just bought a 2000 model 93 convertible at auction that has been fresh water affected although I can find no signs of water damage at all. I did the usual things of checking the cylinders and intake system for water before turning the engine by hand, then charging the battery and checking all fuses etc. The car powered up and sid check reported all ok - turn the key and the engine cranked, caught for a second and then died - next try it just cranked. As it had fired up for a second I focused on the fuel side, jumped the relay under the dash to check the pump which runs well. I am a little stuck at this point but am suspecting the remote receiver/immobiliser for a couple of reasons...I am unable to sync. the banana style remote to the car or get the sid to display the number of keys / remotes associated to the vehicle and yes I have changed the battery and checked the switches on the remote. I have read somewhere that if the car is locked by the remote it wont start again with just the key - is this true ? I would appreciate any input to help get the car running again - also is there a way to get the car to display any fault codes without a dedicated code reader.
Many Thanks.
Keith.
