help my s2 wont start,its cut out twice and the rev counter bounces all over the place. it now wont start and having been towed home by the "AA" im n ot happy. 2 weeks the car was at a dealer where they had to have the ecu out on a "breakout box" to find a fault with the "tps". "AA" man found the ecu was not switching the coil so will not start. coil,leads,cap,rotor and plugs all new but still no go.

HOORAY IVE GOT IT GOING. CAME IN FROM WORK TODAY AND IT STARTED FIRST TIME!!!!
I WIGGLED THE WIRES TO THE COIL AND IT STOPPED. TRIED TO RESTART IT AND NO GO.CHECKED THE COIL WIRING AND FOUND THE TERMINALS LOOSE. CAN ONLY ASSUME THAT WHEN THE DEALER REMOVED THE COIL TO DO THE TAPPETS THAT THEY DID,NT TIGHTEN THEM UP. SO PUT NEW RINGS ON AND NEW WASHERS AND NUTS AND STARTS FIRST TIME EVERY TIME.

THANKS EVERYBODY

p.s LEEBEE WILL EMAIL YOU ABOUT THE WHEELS.
