Default really getting pissed off

As the title says... I really love my V12 convertible but its taking its toll on me. Im getting fed up with it just not starting..... Parked it in the garage last week and now it wont effing start (again!!!). Just changed out the blue starter relay for a new black one so l don't get the click click not start so now it just turns over but wont start.
Reading the sticky above now...grrrrrr

Keep at it, it's simply mechanical and everything can be fixed. That sticky, you reffered to is quite good, and should get you going, just take your time..

Snooo, Today l got check engine and error code 44....wtf. Read the above sticky and as l have fuel l went to the electrickery page. switched on the ignition and as instructed turned the throttle by hand to full. At full no injector click but after turning about a split MM I got a small click from some switch on the throttle body. Took off the ignition ?? ecu on the front right and cleaned the contacts as instructed put it back together and YEAH it started, bumpy at first but after a short run it now runs as before. NO 44 code anymore BUT 14 now. Shyte !!

Glad you got it running. My 2 month old 90 Vert is giving me fits; discharging the battery. Must be a bad diode....somewhere?
But,I wish it had an OBD II Port to read faults. As yet I don't even know if it has any diagnostic capability.
