got a problem with me car

Hi after fitting the new DME Relay all is good so thanks for all your help, And Mr Arrogant Tw@t you was right also can you carry on arguing quite entertaining indeed.
So Thanks again one and all
 
Yep I have been told this by Fen I believe and I think I actually did get one but I lost it in amongst all me other car stuff in me room. I'll probably find it now I've got a new one but at least I would have a spare then.
 
I have a sort of related problem. A few weeks back my turbo wouldn't start (just what we needed at 11.30 after a night out) Took the relay out and gave it a tap got back in and hey it started. Thought must be the relay ordered a new one and fitted it. Job done. Then it happen again! This time I tried by turning the reset key in my not so new alarm box, one turn and it started. Great until then it happened again this time over a week later, the key trick only worked after some time and with lots of resetting ie locking and unlocking. I thought must be the alarm, this carried on and off for a week or two untill I had the alarm ripped out and a new one put in. Problem solved I thought but no. The next day stared fine, went to go out at lunch and would start! It will turn over but won't fire. RAC came sods law I open the car and turn the key and it starts. Then last night wouldn't start twice. I have no spark I think which is the problem (by using the spark inline tester the RAC nice man gave me) but then it suddenly comes back and the car starts and runs fine. Today have been out stopping and starting fine. Now has one of you got a remote box and a web cam in my car and having a lot of fun with me or what is going on???? Any ideas on that one Fen or Peanut? Thanks Paul
 
um I'm well and truly stumped on that one needs new spark plugs perhaps or maybe H/T leads that's just about all I can think of someone who knows more than me will probably be on hand soon though
 
If you have changed the DME relay and the alarm thing then it could be:

Bad Earth ""I think the earth under the headlight.
Bad Coil
Bad Leads-Have you got a spark on any of the leads?
Bad ignition circuit in the DME (ECU)
Bad battery connections.

These are a few easy things to check.

I am sure Peanut will tell me I am all wrong and its actually the flux capacitor![;)]
 
Maybe Miriam can help ....

I had a similar issue and agree with Paul and Fen, the DME can be the best place to tackle first. Replacing the DME did solve my problem at first then the symptom occured again shortly afterwards. I knew it could not be my ignition as I had had it totally replaced, the only other place to check were the sensors on the bell housing, I gave one a tap and a wiggle and the problem hasn't come back again.

Rolfie - as Wizard says, your crank reference sensor may be faulty, but it could be one of a number of problems

www.clarks-garage.com is a good place to look for more info - try the troubleshooting sections in the garage shop manual
 
Thanks guys, I have now got a wire ready to try a direct feed to the coil next time it won't go to see if its the key curcuit. The no spark is the puzzel. I will have a fiddle with the crank sensors you never know I will try anything at the moment. Also have a problem with my air con, but get me started on that!!
