Engine wont start / apexi power fc HELP
 

2000 impreza uk turbo

gave engine bay a clean covered alternator, air filter , coil pack etc

now it will not start at all it turns over and ingition dash symbols
lights up but no ''check engine'' light like there normally is
and i cant hear the fuel pump when i turn the ingition on
the apexi controller just says apexi on the screen nothing else ?

the turns over but doesnt not fire up?

i check all pipes etc cant see nothing and took the battery lead off
and still didnt do nothing....

any thing i can do?

When you cleaned it, you may have disturbed the crank sensor. Or water may have shorted it? Just a stab in the dark...

First though, try liberally spraying all the ignition system's HT leads and coilpack with WD40 - just to eradiacte any shorting because of all the moisture from when you cleaned it.

where is that located ? i will give that a try

Crank sensor is directly above the crank pully, underneath the alternator, on the top of the engine block. There's a plastic electrical connector to it.

cheers i will give this a try in the morning....

it sound like it my be the crank sesnor as the knoc when up high after i washed it
as i was going to start up to let the engine run and dry off

how high did the knock go mate and how high does it normally go?

its normally goes 10 but it went like 70 someting i think i just caught a glipse at it

the first time it urned over for a few seconds then it woundnt sart from then...

try all earth points had an Apexi do someting like this turned out to be a bad earth

its normally goes 10 but it went like 70 someting i think i just caught a glipse at it

the first time it urned over for a few seconds then it woundnt sart from then..


i will look at the earth straps aswell

went to the car this morning put the key in....started and idle'd and drive fine ? ? ?

This sounds like a earth problem mate id check all the engine/body connections for loose or corroded ones.

crank sensor water shorted it all sorted and happy again thanks

Thought something like that would have been the case... No smoke without fire as they say (that's an ironic turn of phrase lol) ;)

Thank you for your help :thumb:

No worries. Main thing is it's sorted for no dosh! ;) Or did it need a NEW crank sensor?

nope just sprayed some wd40 like you said and left it over night then it started

and the apexi was on 73 when i started it left it running it went down to 3 on idle and when i gave it a blip it hit 8 so all good :thumb:

FECKING GET IN!!! :cool: :)
