iv bought an fc but cant start it
when i try to it is like it is but when i stop with the key the engine cuts out, with the starter turning i have had the engine reving just past 1000rpm but doesnt carry on without the starter going previously to me having it it was stood for a while also when trying to start there is white smoke coming out of exhausts might have been steam as it was wet any help would be apreciated thanks phil |
did it smell like coolant?
|
if it smells like fuel.. perhaps its flooded..
|
You could have a blown apex seal and that is leading to low compression. I would check the compression in each chamber. It should be above 90 on each chamber.
|
it smells a little like fuel i took the spark plugs out and they look new two look brand new just wet and the other two look new but used
so im going to check for a spark tomorrow morning on all four leads i hope its not a seal:blink: thanks for the info so far |
Have you in fact gone through the "unflooding procedure?" If not, do it!

the way the person who rebuilt my engine told me to deflood was stupid easy i was surprised(this goes for an s4 idk if its the same on an s5) pull the top 2 fuses get in your car crank for 10 3 times put fuses back floor it and crank until starts large amount of smoke for a couple seconds but runs fine in less than a minute

Yeah, that's about right. I used to have to do that everytime I stopped for fuel. I'm not sure if the fix was the cleaned injectors or the Haltech ECU, or a combination of both, but it doesn't do it anymore. BTW, the way I did it was floor it while cranking with the fuses out, then starting normally. |
dont think mine has an ecu
i think its a coil igniter well i hope i have tried the un flooding procedure |
its got spark to all four spark plugs where should the ecu be
