Hi,

I am at a complete loss on this one. I have only changed the battery and the engine turns over but will not start.

When I turn the key I usually hear a few noises such as the petrol pump being pressurised etc but now when I turn the key only silence but the engine turns over.

I am wondering what I could have done wrong - I may have touched the ECU on the positive terminal but I have tried another ECU and the same situation exists.

I would welcome any suggestions leading to a cure.

Regards John

I would think it is either the fuel pump relay or an immobilser issue. I believe a liberal thump on the top of the nearside dash area can help the immobiliser spring into life.

Was it an appropriate thump or the relay that did the trick?
