Car won't start - please help!!!
« on: 13 November 2007, 20:08:26 »

Hi,  I previously posted about auxilliary belt that I have just replaced. The car was running but when I put it all back together it no longer starts, just back fires and stops straight away. There is a very strong smell of petrol. It will go if I rev it, but stops when I stop revving it!
Could i have knocked something when I put the multirams back?? Any ideas anyone please???  I desperately need my car back on the road asap. Thanks.

Have you reconnected everything that you disturbed correctly. Did you unplug the icv or the cam sensor and have you reconnected all the vac pipes,  what about the front multi ram and mass air flow meter.     check everything again and keep us informed to what you find. :y

Thanks for the replies so far.
I think everything is in its place, however I could have missed something. Will not be able to look at it until Saturday now because of work etc
Thanks again.
