vts engine problem wont start

[zonedemon]

hoping someone can give me some advice, ive had my saxo put away for a good 2 yrs anyway got it out to get back on the road and it wouldnt turn over so changed the start motor now it turns over fine but atm i aint managed to get it to fire up what else should i check and if there a way to test my coilpack without a voltage tester? cheers btw its a vts 1.6 16v

Battery may have gone flat?

[zonedemon]

no brand new even have a charger and made sure it was fully charged, will the 1 yr old odd petrol stop it firing?

[LukeVTR]

Has it been kept in a dry place?

Could be anything as it hasnt been touched for years, could be that a part has siezed up. Might be the coil pack as you mentioned just keep trying to start it pressing on the accelerator.

hey, mate, you need three things air, fuel, spark, old petrol aint good for a stood up motor, i would check those three thing first, if you suspect there no spark at the spark plugs, remove the coil pack, and all the spark plugs, clean them, then fit the spark plugs into the end of the coil pack, then ground them to the engine, then spin the engine over, you should get a very clean spark from all the plugs! be very carefully as you could get a shock! so rubber pliers! is fuel getting to the engine??? does it sound like you got compression??? hope this helps you!!

Try cleaning the crank sensor,just a thought.

drain the tank and put some new fuel in,

[zonedemon]

no it hasnt been stored in a dry place was put in my brothers back garden, yes it gets fuel and has compression ill try that with the spark plugs thx and hows best to drain the old fuel out? last yr when the starter had gone it did bump start but it took a big effort to get it going that way

[zonedemon]

when i say last yr i mean like jan last yr no just few months gone

O dear, if it bin outside probadly got water in the fuel, um getting the fuel out, i dont no for sure, but if you life the back seats is there acess to the fuel pump?? if so drain from there! if not, maybe disconnet from inlet manfold and with the ingtion on drain from there! be care of fire, and over heating the pump, failing that a manul pump, or a lenght of hose!

on a vts the bottom of the filler neck is really easy to get at!!

[zonedemon]

filler neck?

[123-samsung123]

yeah the fuel filler neck/pipe/tube/ look under the o/s/r wheel and i am sure the pipe will cum off there just a clip!!

Mate Im Having The Same Problem As You At This Very Moment.

I Tried Another Coilpack, Cleaned Crank Sensor And Everything

Still Wont Fire

[zonedemon]

well hopefully we can both learn something from this lol, and i know what pipe ur on about i removed that while my car ignition was on and it pumped petrol all over me, well im going to check the sparkplugs 1st thing tomoz and change the fuel if that doesnt work then im stuck

[joshyvts]

cant believe you have dis owned it in this way :( hope you get it sorted i would say spark plugs and fuel


get some v power in it.

[zonedemon]

well cant say i disowened it really i bought it and 2 days later the wheels all siezed up as i was driving down the road, needed a new drivers side wheel bearing etc all thx to the gearbox being bodged up to last a hr if that so had to pay alot to have a full gearbox done, then 1 day it was parked outside like aways at night and some1 smashed the mirrors off call the cars in the street mine got it also, it got broke into etc but disowned idk coz ive had the car 6 yrs and ive looked after it best i could, but honestly for its age its a very clean car has just 1 tiny bump on the off side back panal thx to the woman next door hitting her door off my car, so as u can see i took pretty good care of it when i say the car got broke into for somereason they opened the bonnet from the catch as u could open it easy from the front end as i was having a new front grill put on, and all they took was the fuse box but that was replaced and fitted by a garage
