starting problem

[taiman]

hey guys unfortunately my car isnt in such good health....

i just got back from queensland for a weeks holiday then i tried to start my car...

at first it started, engine turned BUT as the initial revs drop to idleing point...
it would either struggle to hold it (half a second) or immediately drop and stall...

after doing that a couple of times i gave up and the next day i tried to start it again and this time it the engine wouldnt turn at all...

at first i thought it was a battery problem so i charged my battery overnight (out of the car of coarse)

but that not it!!

any help is still help...

thanks guys

and also i live in keysborough, melbourne.
if anyone was to lend me their code reader i would pay them for the time...
much appreciated guys

btw its a d16a8

theres a good chance its the fuel pump relay - i had exactly the same problem on my da9. there is a DIY on resoldering it. try that, it might solve the problem, and wont do any harm if it doesnt.

I had the same problem, ended up being the ignition coil, get that checked out, i had 2 go on me when i had my d16a8

also check for loose battery terminals

If it doesn't crank at all when you turn the key.. Might be your starter motor. Starter motor might need to be re-conditioned or you get a new one.

Good luck mate, hope it al turns out well!!
