Another 206 non starter!

A faulty throttle body is unlikely to stop the engine starting & it certainly wouldn’t stop an injector pulses.
This non starting issue is screaming out under bonnet fusebox.

Thanks Wheeler - just shows you why on these cars without proper diagnostic scan you can chase false hopes all day long!

This has been about 7 weeks of no car for my daughter (I was away for 4). thrown money at a coil, spark plugs, crank sensor and many hours of leaning over the engine!

Lets hope this damn fuse box solves the problem!

Ok guys.....feedback time

I bought a used fuse box, that arrived today! Fitted it and gave it a go.......nothing changed, no start!

So I went back to PP2000 and did a new global scan, checked and cleared all the faults, still nothing and still the same bl00dy engine binding fault fuse box error code......

So.....i was about to give up to be honest........then for the first time i sprayed some carb cleaner in the intake and it fired up! It had to be fuel related right?

So i checked the fuel pump feed again, was getting 11v on cranking (plug removed) but i never heard the pump kicking in on cranking?.....so.....and this is me owning up to maybe a school boy error....i squeezed the crimps in that terminal tighter together as i have been pushing my multi meter prob in there.......guess what, it fired up next time.......i think i may have been at least half the problem in this but better i own up as it a mistake other amateurs like me could make when testing connections

Im going to drive it for a while before handing back to my daughter, but i think ive solved everything now with a lot of help on here........

Cheers

Well done it's now a runner!

It was your part finding help on ebay too doctle haha

In the old days of less electronics when a car wouldn't start if you had a spark it was a fuel problem and vice versa. Seems it's still the same!
