What do you mean by, "wouldn't start"?

Slow turning over?

Just wouldn't fire?

I find it outrageous that when poor Daz has a problem you all see fit to take the mickey rather than offering sympathy and genuine help.

Daz, you might find changing the fuel enrichment settings on your megasquirt will make a big difference.

HTH, Chilli smile

Surely if he is implying its the Hot Start problem then its not MS or its settings scratchchin if DAZ is able to add an additional FP relay then he is capable of adding a relay to the starter circuit (or checking its not been done already) hot feeding/jump wiring the starter solenoid or looking up bypassing the immobilizer circuit to take that out of the equation biggrin

Did it eventually start after a cool off? If it did, sounds like a hot start prob and, or hot battery leads.

Not touched the fueling ! I left it for ten minutes and it started ! i pushed the car with no luck ,could not push it fast enough.

Straight after the bump start and minute rest (getting my breath back) it then started .
