Guru Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Any smoke? Does she splutter and stall or something else? Could you list your setup please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blitz supra Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 Hi Guys, Need your help please, just changed my car battery and tried to start the car, she starts but then cuts out after a few seconds even if I turn a/c on and give her some revs Checked everything I can think of, any ideas? Thanks, Nick. If you changed the battery you have done a reset and possibiliy / probably just lost its base idle settings, Just try keep it running and take it for a drive it should re learn very quickly We used to get this alot on the Ford Mondeos when i worked for Fords.

Jake Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 When you say it starts, does it sound and feel OK but then die suddenly or is it rough sounding from the start? If it's the former, it would sound like an immobiliser issue. Some of them will let a car run for a few secs before shutting the engine off.
