Not starting, diag machine "No communication" - 07/12/2017 22:14
Hi guys, my problem is my car (20vt) turns over healthy but won't even try to start. I've had it plugged into a diags machine a few weeks ago, the diags machine worked fine and came back with 2 faults (boost strategy & camshaft circuit relay, I fixed the boost strategy).
Since replacing my rocker gasket a few week back (breaking my air charge pipe which I've now replaced) my car won't start.
So today I've had it plugged into the same diags machine and now it won't communicate with my ecu. This worked fine when my car was running few weeks back but now says "No communication".
I can't hear fuel pump primeing, can't smell fuel, checked the relays under passenger dashboard and 1 in engine bay and they don't tick when ignition is switched on, no warning lights infact I'm thinking some dash lights don't come on that used too for a second (injector light and a key symbol light)
All I did was change rocker cover and It idle'd rough for a few minutes then died. I noticed today that I've trapped one of the loom wires that goes to the individual coil packs, it's torn the sleeve exposing the wires but not cut into the wires. It was trapped under the plug cover, could that have shorted something?
I don't think my car has immobilize and definitely no alarm.
