LATE S1 ELISE ONLY STARTS WITH PUSH!
Discussion
Did it start when the starter was jumped by the AA man? Could provide a route to a bodgy interim solution until you get to the bottom of it. Talking of which...
I ran a caterham for a while where I had a permanent fly lead connected to the starter and cable tied near the battery. All was fine. apart from when it was very hot it wouldn't tick over and stalled. I had a nightmare journey on the M25 in a huge tailback in the rain once in the summer. Despite my best HnT, I kept losing the engine. I had the top on so every time is stalled, I had to hoik myself out, unclip the bonnet start it and try and get back in before it stalled. I was very frustrated, wet and knackered when I got home.
That was the impetus to fix the starter problem (k-click problem) and fit verniers to get the cams retimed to make it tick over. The head had been skimmed a few to many times
Waaaay OT now.
