Title: Starter Problem??????
Post by: DaveP8883 on August 17, 2006, 10:37:38 AM
I need some serious help guys with my FD3S

Ok here\'s the problem, firstly some w**ker drove into me at new year an made a bit of a mess of my front wing. Because of the insurance i am still waiting for it to be fixed so went about doing a bit of DIY to at least get the thing moving.

I have pulled the wing clear of the wheel, an had no choice but to remove the arch liner as it was just about holding on by a thread. I have gone out in the car this morning to give it a gentle run to keep the thing running. Turning round a tight right hand corner there was a screech from the left front, an now the car revs it\'s self at around 2,000. The baffling thing is when i turn the car off, and turn the key to just the ignition (not to crank it up) the car starts!??????

Little help!!!

disconnect the battery for few minutes and connect it again to see if that helps..

Sounds reasonable.
