It was parked for six days. When l start to start it failed battery was very low. I charged it and put it but engine just swings. There is spark on the plugs and the fuel rail has fuel. If l put fuel in the inlet manifold it will start and run for some time and then cut off. What can be the problem?

Hello,

It sounds like the ECM could be out but to be sure lets start by reading the codes to see what comes up.

Here is a guide to get you going in the right direction:

Hi guys, l am struggling to start my car. I left it parked for six days as l was away on a trip. When l wanted to use it, the car just swings but could not start. I check it and found that the injectors are shut. If l add some fuel into the inlet manifold, it will start just with that petrol added to manifold and it cuts off as the fuel is finished. What can l do, or what can be the problem? What happens to the security light when cranking the engine? When key is off the light is flicking, and when you try to start the light stays on not flicking. Is this normal?

Any one with the idea of what is happening with this car?

Thank you,

Prince
