Hi all;
My 98 vert did not start. Bad wire to starter. Replaced. Now it cranks but doesn't try to start. I've looked at the service info, and found no other broken circuits or bad relays. What are the most likely suspects?

 

Bore wash, have a quick google and it will tell you what to try next.

 

See if this information helps.

Thanx all;
That info will help. I wondered if the broken starter wire maybe tripped something? I don't believe its' a coincidence.

 

Did you check your ignition coil fuse

 

Check one thing for me. Check that the lights on the visor mirrors are working. If not check a 15a (I think) fuse in the drivers fascia door fuse box. Well check them all!!

Also When you are trying to start the car does it sound like it has compression or is it a whirling sound?

 

Update;
My mechanic, good as he is, suggested taking car to dealer. It has spark but no fuel. My next question. Has anyone taken their xk to the dealer for a no start and how much did it cost you?

 

dealer cost you just to drive it on their lot. ha ha ha
Check the fuel pump fuse?

 

Could the fuel cutoff switch have tripped? I think in the earlier models it was in the drivers side fascia fuse panel, in my, MY 2003, it is in the foot-well behind the plastic trim.

 

Did you check the fuse for the visor lights?

You need 3 things for the engine to start fuel, spark and compression. The lack of one will result in no start.

Meet us half way tell us what you do know..

What has your mechanic found that you have so far????

As Gus is suggesting, do not take it to the dealer. Stay with the forum and follow directions. We can help.

 

Hi all;
Update, took it to the dealer. Was the fuel pump. What surprised me was there was no warning. Getting car back in two days.

 

Didn't your mechanic suspect that with no fuel?

 

Think I'd contemplate switching mechanics......
