Thread: SyncMate in Melbourne for hire? Just turned over and over this morning :(

Coincidence?

Mine was doing the same over the last week. No sync loss, just took 3 or 4 attempts to get it going.

Another P38 up here has the same issue...

Is there something in the air?

The other day I left the key in the "on" position for 30sec before cranking and it fired up first turn.

Cheers Keithy, I will have a play tonight agin and see if it wants to start. Such personalities on these things, it knew I was already late for work!

No worries!

If it helps, mine isn't doing it anymore! I have a nearly-full tank too, I noticed it did play up at lower fuel levels, perhaps my fuel pump is on its way out (potential food for thought for you too?).

Well I got home and pulled a plug, they are sparking but there's no fuel... So I think my suspicion of the immobiliser was incorrect. I checked the fuse and swapped the relay, still nothing. I pushed in the top of the inertia switch, still nothing.
Would a fuel pump just give up like that? All was fine yesterday. Whats the best way to check if power is getting to it as it can't be accessed without dropping the tank..

Doesn't look like I'll be going anywhere this Easter.

I thought the immobiliser killed the starter motor, not the fuel pump.


Give the bottom of the tank a hit with a rubber mallet, preferable while someone cranks the motor over. That's sometimes enough to coax a dead pump into a bit of life.

I'll give it go,m cheers Scouse

Which terminals need bridging on the relay to over ride everything and just supply power to the pump?

My pump gave up pretty quickly, although for a couple of months prior the pump was audible (only just) in the cabin area. Unfortunately mine was not at home at the time so required a lift on a flat tray .


Also worth checking is the fuel rail pressure.
