What stops a V8 from starting,,
coil packs only cause a miss, and the usual culprit, the CAS usually fails when hot,, not after you've just cooled/hosed it.
I wonder if its a security thing?
Stored errors are next I reckon,, but will the ECM "store" errors if the car wont start?
You out there Sierrafery?
Definitely won't be spark related as OP said this
So with the use of this spray start, will the engine continue to run if you continue to spray? or does it eventually die if you continue to spray as well.Quote:

The Inertia Switch cuts the fuel supply when activated [thumbsupbig]
OP says they got water in the engine bay(doesn't say how).
Could water have got into the fuel system too?
eg. was the wet engine bay after a river/creek/floodway crossing, or was it in pressure cleaning the engine bay, or .... ?
Wet ECU?
not unless it sat in water up to the seat squabs,,
I was thinking along those lines but OP said he checked the fuel cut off switch .Quote:

It could be coincidence. My V8 would spin over and not even consider firing. It was what LR call their Intelligent Driver Module containing fuse box...ie the large one in front of your right knee when driving. When you change it it needs 15mins with ignition on for the IDM and the computer to coordinate. Mine then fired straight up. You changed CAS so good but did you check fuel pressure? Cheers
Only two experiences I've had with immobiliser was that it totally locked the car, in that engine wouldn't turn over, crank or nothing.Quote:

So it there a immobiliser situation where it allows the car to crank over too?
When I fried my ECU (D2 V8) I installed a new ECU, it would crank and not run, I did the learn security function and it synched the system and it fired. So hence thinking it my be worth a try.Quote:
