Gsi Not starting

[keitho21]

I was replacing the manifold and downpipe on my corsa, but i didn\'t disconnect the battery. When i connected everything back up. None of the elctrics worked. i think the main beam works, but the engine was turning over and not firing and the indicators and cd player dosen\'t work. I have been told of a m8 i have blown my ecu. Somebody else said that a blown relay! can ne1 help me? cheers

Check your fuse box first, replace anything you have blown, but replacing the downpipe and manifod you don\'t need ot disconnect the battery.

[keitho21]

I have checked every fuse, and none of them have blown, i can\'t understand it!

[j1400]

I\'d pull them out cause someitme they look ok but are fubar.

[keitho21]

well i will have to check! but could it be the relays? nd also the heat shield wud not come off when changing the manifold so i ripped it out. so it can only be fuses?

[punkheadgray]

idve said fuses, as the manifold doesnt have any electrical connections it seems to be a mystery? check fuses, then look into relays i spose...... u didnt leave the engine turned over one notch and drain the battery did you sounds stupid but easily done?

[keitho21]

no i didn\'t, when i was finished i got in the car, the engine was turning but not firing! how do i check the relays? if they r blown? thanks for ya help dudes!

If you look under the bonnet on the right hand side (i think) there should be a small black box that says fuses/relays, if you take the lid off it and try turning the ignition for a few seconds, then try turning the car over, listen for a clicking noise coming from the relays, if you can hear a clicking then that means that one of your relays has buggered.

cheers! i thought that the relays and fuses were inside the car, on the drives side under a lil flap
