Grand Vitara wont start after flat battery?

Post by tails83 »

okay, my battery went flat listening to the radio while installing my new tow bar. tried jump starting it but would only crank over but not start.

from looking at it all day i worked out the fuel pump is working, it doesn't have spark and not sure if the injectors are firing.

anyone have any ideas, or know of any good suzuki mechanics around brisbane northside.

thanks.

did you bugger anything up when you fitted the towbar as far as wireing goes ? Blow any fuses etc ?
have you checked them all ??

Did you have the ignition OFF when you installed the new battery?

Could be just coincidence but the coil might be playing up...

it could be a security problem, does the car have a transponder key, if the computer does not identify the transponder code, it will crank, but will not get spark or fuel.
