    Won't start - URGENT!

    Basically i have a problem, car won't pick up revs. If it does it just runs for few seconds. Thought it was fuel pump but swaped that doesn't work. Please help. I started the car, then left it for some time, came back and it won't start.

      Dad's goong to bring it down in a minute. I changed the crank sensor in the morning, it started and run ok, then after couple of hours trying again and nothing.

      Could it be an error somewhere?

            Guess what, the damn sensor's faulty. Hopefully it's sensor not something more serious

                    Tried it all. Unplugged it, checked the bolts etc. Nothing. When the first sensor was dead, it didn't even fire, this one at least allows engine to start which makes me thing it's the sensor, rather then something more serious. I will get a new one tomorrow and see if that runs, fingers crossed.

                      Throttle position sensor on the back of the inlet manifold came loose on mine and car would only idle, soon as I tried to drive it played up. Sorted sensor out tightened it back up sweet

                          Plenty of Kontact cleaner sprayed on all the electrical connections plug them in and out loads clean em up nicely, do this with engine and ignition off you will be shocked how many connections and sensors there are

                              There are only a few things that can cause a complete no-start. Have a look here:

                              Panthero Coupé quattro 20vt
                              Indigo ABY coupé
                              Imola B6 S4 Avant
