Help...... she won\'t start.

[Amdathlonuk]

Hi Guys,

Wonder if you can help.
I have a 2nd Gen RX turbo on a \'G\' plate.
Just had an engine rebuild 3000 miles ago.
I drove it everyday without fault it was perfect. Since I haven\'t used it in about 4 weeks she won\'t start now.
She has a proximity immobiliser, and a charged battery but it WAS flat.

She turns over fine and JUST ABOUT fires but doesn\'t grab if you get my drift.

I haven\'t changed the spark plugs as yet, any ideas?

Did you start it for a short while (less than a couple of mins) then stop it again before you left it?  If you did i expect its flooded, use the de-flooding guide to fix it.

I presume it has not got a imobiliser that has malfuctioned and activated due to a flat battery?

Try and bump it this tended to work for me but I need to be going quite fast (20mph) before it kicked in.

PS You can\'t advertise in your sig

Thanks, any possibility of finding the de-flooding guide?
I DIDN\'T put my foot any where near the throttle....

I\'ll see if I can get it to 20mph on the drive, that\'ll be interesting...................

It\'s definately not the immobiliser as it won\'t even put the lights on the dash when it is activated. Let alone try and start.
