RyanC Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi all, I stalled my my car at the weekend and it wouldn't restart. I called out the AA and they could not get it going ether and said it could be the starter motor so I got them to take it to my mates garage. He has told me that the starter motor is fine and that the problem was the earth between the engine and the body was rusty. He has cleaned it up and replaced the bolt, the car is now turning over but not firing. He thinks that as the engine was not earthed properly and this may have damaged something else like burnt out a wire or even the ECU when it was trying to earth. Has anyone had this problem or know what may of been damaged to stop the car from firing? Thanks, Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 i hope its note the ECU. Sounds expensive. Maybe someone with knowledge on here will help you here. Hope it works out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanC Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 Got it working, turns out it was a fuse in the fuse box behind the battery. I'll be letting the AA know how bad they are at checking fuses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fluke Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Which fuse was it? I am getting a single click but no start. I have my battery on charge, but suspect the starter, as the car would not jump start, but would bump star. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
