#1: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:33 pm ---- Hi guys, my car isn't starting.. I switched my keys over today (to a flip one) and had to keep locking/unlocking the car to get the positioning of the keys correct. I went out this evening, and car wouldnt start. I hooked up the other car (1.4 fiesta if thsi helps) and was revving for about 15-20 mins, and still car wouldnt start, any help pls?
Thanks

#3: Re: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:36 pm ---- Yup, and have also tried the spare key I have, and both have the same effect on the car.
#4: Re: Car not starting Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:38 pm ---- Is it turning over?

#6: Re: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:43 pm ---- Yes, is turning over, but the turning overr didnt get any 'stronger' throughout me trying to jump start it.
#7: Re: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:45 pm ---- Oh, and i should add that it did start when i had put the transponder etc in the new key, before i started messing about with the buttons in the right position
#8: Re: Car not starting Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:46 pm ---- Immobilser fault.
Check the chip
Spare Key
Fuel cut off
Aerial
Double relay
Attempt a code read to confirm
Check wiring
New/Replacement BSI or ECU

#10: Re: Car not starting Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:49 pm ---- What year car is it?
Defiantly checked the chip is in there and tried the spare key?
Tried bumping it?
#11: Re: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:54 pm ---- 2004 (53 plate) and yup, car started earlie with that key, and also tried spare.. and not tried bumping as of yet
, could this work?
#12: Re: Car not starting Author: Lee, Location: EnglandPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:56 pm ---- Shouldn't jump start a multiplexed car.
Try soft booting the BSI
If it bumps, then it rules out a IMMO fault.
#13: Re: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 12:59 pm ---- Oops, sry, whats soft booting the BSI?
#15: Re: Car not starting Author: austin316, Location: crawleyPosted: Wed Oct 26, 2011 1:28 pm ---- have just tried the soft boot method... The clock lights and everything comes on as normal inside the car, the sidelights came on, but only after i put the ignition on. When I tried starting the car, the engine was making a kind of whirring noise, not sure if this is the engine turning over?
