Hi guys,

After some help please!

My car is just not starting!
I turn the key and can hear it just about to start but then it doesnt!
So it gets real close but then stops.

Any idea on what I can start with?

edit: I must add, recently it hasnt been idling smoothly. If that helps to understand what it could be?

Yes it's a sound underneath the rear seat... If the pump works fine maybe check the plug of the crankshaft sensor..or maybe the spark plugs

ok update. It started fine today multiple times. On the first go it took a few seconds but did start.
For the first time, there was this tapping noise from the engine near the coilpack/spark/injector area.

Any ideas? Might change the coilpack first?
It still wasnt idling smoothly either.

Valve clearance and VVT solenoid. Right, both on my list.

Let me check the Haynes for directions and report back after its stopped raining Laughing

Okay!
Also, I just remembered. When I plugged into the OBDII port, one of the readings is for the throttle and it showed on even when not pressing it (like 1.7% or something!).
Do I also need to think about an idle control valve? (I know its drivebywire so unsure how this ties with idle control )

Fly by wire throttle on ET3.

The throttle body is a known weak spot, I had to replace the one on my GFs 206 due to poor idle & throttle control.

A good 2nd hand throttle body & resetting auto adaptation cured the GFs 206.

Software update is also worth it for the ET3 lump.

There's a manufacturer part number on the throttle body, you can use that to match it up as its used on plenty of other PSA products.
