ECU error codes.. car won't start !! help..

Post by Jim_Mr2 »

Car will turn over fine etc... just not actually start.

Anyone got any ideas as to why ??

just done a fault code check and got back ...

14 -
3/14 Ignition indicator (except cars with DLI, DRD) 2-28
3/14 Ignition indicator (for cars with DLI, DRD) 2-34

31 -
31 Air flow meter (for cars for carman meter)
31,32 Air flow meter (except cars with carman whirlpool air flow meter)

Now does anyone have any ideas as to why if possible these would stop the car starting ?? If not, what issues would these items cause ???

What is the ignition indicator ??

Hi Jim, i had error code 14 too, after replacing the dizzy,coil,ignitor and countless hours spent messing around cutting wires to and from ECU etc, it turned out to be a dodgy ECU. Code 14 is the ignition signal to and from ECU if im correct.

Also, if the AFM is nackered, your car wont start. Has the same effect as taking the intake off of the turbo.

Cheers,

think I sorted it out... changed the coil lead over with a freinds and the thing started fine!! :)

Will reset ECU etc once I have a new coil lead and see if the codes still persist.
