Hi all,
Went to start her up today, turned over a few times then kicked over but died, now every time I turn the key all lights etc go off for a sec and the engine doesnt turn over, just hear a click.
Is it flooded, or possibly compression locked if there is such a thing (sure ive heard something like this mentioned b4)?
Just thought id check before i start the whole de-flooding procedure in case it is something else. I thought with a flooded engine it will still turn over but just wouldn\'t start, mines not even turning over.
Batt volt is 10.9 btw, according to PFC
battery mate.
Get a jump start. Could also be the alternator not charging the battery but fd batteries are kind of prown to very suddenly dying.

Yeah it has been sitting there for a while and weve had a few frosty mornings. It died complety bout a month ago after sitting for a week and a half in the snow.
Think it might be time for a new batt :)
Something nice and easy anyway, cheers ;)
forgot to mention, everything lights up as normal, only goes off for a sec when trying to start, then they all come on again.
Just re-read post and it looked like it could have been mis-leading suggesting lights off all the time.
Still likely to be the batt?
the experience i\'ve had with duff batteries, I\'d say it was :)
U best be at woodbridge battery of not! ;)
lol, i\'ll be there matey with a few of my non-rotor driving mates, should be meeting carlos on the way too
you can bring some MRC pom poms! ;)
"gimme a M, gimme a R...."
maybe not :D
No no! I meant..
"Gimmi an "A"..."N".." etc etc haha :rollin :rollin
:rollin
Have you done much to your engine, know you\'ve got the kakimoto on there but not sure what else you done :)
Is it right theres a 1/4 mile section as well?
nope chuff all mate, just the exhaust, bad boy clutch and hks filter system.
I\'m not gonna do a lot to it either I don\'t think, maybe rad/IC/ecu but I\'m not going for huge power else I\'ll never stop pumping money into it ehhe
yeah think one sides the 1/4 mile and the other then just under 2 mile one.. it\'s that one i\'m interested in hehe
same here :) just gotta get an IC and that should do, at least until rebuild time then a bit of porting will have to be done!
Looking forward to seeing your top speed time;)
Do you know any other cars that are going? do you get any pugs/saxo\'s etc or is it mostly proper cars :D
G11ary posted up a nice pic of a GT40 there last year
mostly proper cars matey, some rex\'s porche gt2/3\'s, norris evo, skylines, supras, honda s2k\'s, intergras, bmw\'s.. even a fiat punto gt, but good mix over all afaik
i have the same problem mate, it just wont tick over, it jump starts ok then runs fine. i bought a new battery and still have the problem, ive just got some new spark plugs, im hoping this will sort it out.
cheers guys, was the batt, all ok now, just gotta pick up a new battery :)
