Guest xciteaudio Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Car ran out of fuel last week, put £10 in, still will not start, do not know why, starter motor is ok and making all the right noises, have tried dragging car with a van, still will not fire, any ideas anyone. The battery in the factory key has fallen out. Don't know if you need it in to start the car....imobiliser or something?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n boost Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 U might have sucked some crap from the bottom of the tank and blocked fuel supply. Check to see if u have fuel going into rail. Don't know about key, but sure somebody will know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georigg Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Short answer re battery, YES! Alternators need to be running at about 750RPM to produce 12 volts and a decent current.....thats equiv to qn engine RPM of about 500Rpm When a car is running, power is normally supplied to all components by the alternator and only "tops-up" the battery by charging it as you drive along. Please see the starter circuit page I have hopefully uploaded for you. Rgds Georgestarter page.doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
