corsa b sxi will not start

Post by robsmith »

i had a problem a few weeks ago with my car not starting, i changed the spark plugs and after a bump start it worked fine for a week, now it will not start at all and i do not know what could be wrong with it

i know nothing about cars/engines, but a have had a few suggestions from friends of blocked fuel lines and broken fuel sensor relay

i have tried the paperclip test, but unfortunately my 16 pin connector is not the same as the one in the diagrams

this is the one in the instructions

and this is the one i have

any suggestions on what i can do?

paper clip wont do anything mate you've got the same car as me and if you read the info at the top of the guide im pritty sure it says it wont work onare engines.

is the battery ok and have you checked the starter motor
OFFICAL DVLA DATA:
1414 - corsa gsi's on the road in 2008.
735 - corsa gsi's currently on the road and 436 SORN
Basicly you would have to be a right tw*t to break one for parts :rant:

Thanks to everyone for an awsome weekend at pvs!
