Hi everyone, I’m hoping someone on here might be able to help me. I have an 2003 ep3 type r 107k on the clock.
A few weeks ago I drove to work with no problems parked up and when I went to go home at the end of the day it wouldn’t start. There’s power there, the car is turning over no problem so not the starter. I have checked the coilpacks, I’m getting a spark from each plug and I’ve had it hooked up to find fault codes and nothing. The fuel pump is priming also.
I think there may be too much fuel coming through at start up and it’s flooding the engine. It not 100% sure. I disconnected the fuel and the car started Just and then cut out once the fuel in the pipes was used.
I have been told to try switching the ecu, but this involves changing locks, solenoids, barrel etc. Plus I don’t want to spend money on what it might be.
Someone said it could be the timing belt has been stretched/skipped a tooth but there was nothing wrong when I switched the car off when all this started?
Has anyone had a problem like this before?
Thanks
Gary
