1989 Corrado 1.8 G60
|
Hi all,
just joined - so hi from me - matt from Uk - but living in Holland
Like many of you i am sure - this car is my dream car _ when they work !
I bought my g60 4 months ago - and it blew up first day
i have replaced the head top, bolts and gasket, thermostat, air filter, water pump, timing belt, distribution and loads of other stuff....
this took a while as my mechanic had a bereavment and has a full time job restoring porsches.
so we finally got it started - and it lasted a day .....
than it just would not start, made the first turn over but didnt kick in.
so this week i bought a new starter motor cos the other was worn... fly wheel looks ok so left that.
put in the starter and it turns over - makes all the right noises - but just will not catch.
i am pulling my hair out and just have no idea what to do next..... wondering if anyone has ANY ideas at all ?>
I am sick of the usual answers from non corrado owners - and the i told you so's !!
Someone has suggested an ecu reset - but i thought this only works for vr6 models ?
i cant walk past it every day any more - so it needs to start or be sold - 4 months owner ship and 2 days driving is not cool. - I expected the usual troubleshooting - but this is way beyond that now.
help anyone ?
Sit down, shut up, strap in, and hold on

My g60 wouldn't start either, replaced relay number 30, if i remember correctly. I believe that the relay was needed to run either the ecu or the gaspump, was a while ago.
60% of the time it works all the time.

Start with the basics:
Fuel pressure at the fuel rail?
Clean injectors / good spray pattern?
Spark?
Timing?
Then start looking for reasons other than those.
I replaced my distributor cap and rotor. The plug for the hall sender wasn't seated completely. After a couple of drives, the plug came loose and it wouldn't run. Took a while to find that one. Could be something just as simple in your case as well.
