Damn car wont start help please!

[dell_6]

hi folks

Dont normally post on here, usually just lurk but i have a problem and was looking for some help.

after my evo 6 starting 1st time every week (saturdays normally) i left it for a week and now t wont start.

I assumed it was the battery and hooked up my 1l Yaris to the car and still no starty, i get all my lights etc and all i get is a click from the starter.

could it be that
1: the yaris didnt have enough juice for a start up
2: the jump lead were too big (ie the ones rated for 3000cc and diesel cars etc)
3: does the car have a fuel cut off as there wasnt much fuel in it and the tank could be empty

Any help or ideas would be great

Cheers

Dell

I'd say chuck a load of fuel in it and try again. Also check the imobiliser is off

Also need to check if your starter motor is ok

Don't think it would be fuel and if it was immobilser related you wouldn't even get a click. So I would put it down to battery or starter motor

My car will turn over on key all day long but won't start until imobiliser is turned off

Yeah but he said it's just clicking to me thats lack of charge or starteter nackered

I would try jump starting it from a larger car to be honest mate

I had the same problem with mine (flat battery) and I asked a guy with a 1.0L Corsa for a jump start and it didn't work, a guy in a Renault Megane Sport offered my a jump start and there were no problems with it, started first time :razz: Give it a go and see how you get on.

Ah I must have missed that part

Shouldn't need much to start it though cos they only use the battery from a micra to get them going anyway.

If the battery has enough juice to put the ignition lights on then why not bump start it

exactly i would give her a push

got it sorted thanks guys

All it needed was a couple of bump starts and it seems to have freed off the starter motor.
